A talented and expressive jazz vocalist who recorded in the 1950’s to great reviews but poor record sales, Johnny Holiday was nonetheless an artist with a distinct, natural style. A case in point would be “Blue Holiday,” Johnny’s 1961 album originally released on the small Contract Records tag, where Johnny’s mellow voice inhabits the songs with a slow burning intensity and a genuine intimacy usually reserved for a smoky late night performance in a small club. The song selections are outstanding as well; from the sultry standard “You Don’t Know What Love Is,” which begins the album, to Rodgers & Hammerstein’s beautiful ballad “It Might as Well Be Spring” which ends the album, “Blue Holiday” delivers on all fronts. All selections have been newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. You Don't Know What Love Is 2. No One Ever Tells You 3. Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry 4. For Every Man There's a Woman 5. These Foolish Things 6. I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues 7. Too Late Now 8. I Remember You 9. My Love Left Town 10. It's Easy to Remember 11. The Things We Did Last Summer 12. It Might As Well Be Spring
