Moanin' Low: Early Recordings 1927-1934
Libby Holman was the femme fatale of the '20s and '30s; her stage act was so sultry - and her private life so tempestuous - that she actually gained the nickname ''The Dark Purple Menace!'' This 20-track collection, the first of its kind, includes Brunswick and Victor tracks drawn from when her torch was at its brightest on Broadway; songs includeCan't We Be Friends?;Moanin' Low;Body and Soul;Something to Remember You By;Find Me a Primitive Man;I'm One of God's Children;You and the Night and the Music, and more. She sounds like early Fannie Brice, but with a much more powerful voice!
