About this album
About The Blues is one of Julie London’s most distinctive late-1950s albums, shaped by her husky, intimate phrasing and a program drawn from blues standards and torch-song material. Released in 1957, it finds London turning familiar songs into cool, late-night confessions, with her understated delivery giving the repertoire a sensual, conversational edge. Best known for her 1950s vocal albums, London brought a distinctly jazz-inflected style to popular song, and this record shows how effectively she could balance polish with emotional directness. It remains a strong example of the smoky, understated vocal jazz that made her such a lasting presence.
