专辑介绍

by Richie Unterberger

Since Davis' 1965 LP Blueberry Hill was part of RCA's Camden budget line, it's a ragtag of material from various eras rather than a proper album. In fact, it goes all the way back to her 1958 country hit &Lost to a Geisha Girl,& also including country charters from 1961 (&Optimistic&) and 1962 (&The Little Music Box&). It's mostly passable-to-decent country-pop in the style the singer had refined by the early 1960s. The double-tracked vocals that were something of a trademark of her early-to-mid-'60s recordings are often present here, and there's more of a pop feel than there is to many another Nashville production from the time, as well as some orchestration. It's a good approach, but it needs really good material to stand out as something special, and the songs here are often on the ordinary side. The only non-charting effort that sounds worthy of being a hit single is &Where I Ought to Be,& a melancholy mid-tempo ballad with a nice unexpected descending piano hook in the verse. A low point is certainly &Give Me Death,& in which Skeeter plays the part of a double murderess, pleading with the judge for the death sentence with all the urgent conviction of a wronged housewife.
