Oh happy day!!!
Last month, Shirley Horn’s first album, “Embers and Ashes” recorded in 1960 and her “Where Are You Going” album, which was released in 1972, were reissued on a 2 LP on 1 CD reissue on Fresh Sounds Records. I have been waiting for “Embers and Ashes” to be released on CD since I first heard it a few years ago. “Where Are You Going” had been previously released on CD but “Embers and Ashes” had only been available on vinyl until now.
Both albums are definitely a great additions for anyone who loves the music of Shirley Horn.
