专辑介绍
by Cary Ginell
After flirting with traditional African-American material in his previous albums, Belafonte, for the first time, devotes an entire album to the blues. However, of the eleven songs, only two could be classified as traditional blues: &In the Evenin' Mama& and &Cotton Fields,& the latter given a five minute treatment. Belafonte would take this song on the road as part of his live act for the next decade. Of the other songs, three were covers of Ray Charles standards (&A Fool For You,& &Hallelujah I Love Her So,& &Mary Ann&). Another highlight is Belafonte's rendition of Billie Holiday's &God Bless the Child.& With few exceptions, the entire album is understated and not as exciting or riveting as other Belafonte records. Still, it's solid listening, and taken track by track, thoughtful performances. Footnote: this was the first Belafonte album recorded in stereo. Some releases feature a thick, dark blue spine.

- @Alberto466：典藏。Belafonte的第一张立体声录音，效果极佳。歌曲也不全是蓝调，只有几首而已，但编曲则偏于爵士乐风格，传统民谣亦然。
