Valoración: VERY GOOD
With This album, singer Beatriz Zaragoza wants to pay homage to all those great blues women who, with their strength and talent, greatly contributed to magnify the blues Both in the music and in the vocal way of approaching songs, Beatriz Zaragoza is closer to 50’s blues and rhythm and blues singers like Blue Lou Baker Julia Lee, Little Esther, Wynona Carr, Big Maybelle, Ruth Brown or even actual white singer Maria Muldaur, than to the 20’s and 30’s vaudeville singers she deeply admires Despite not being of the same generation the connection between Beatriz Zaragoza and all these singers is undeniable and her vocal natural skills and the album quality become evident along the twelve selected songs A good roster of musicians contribute to round up this more than interesting cd, most of them coming from Madrid scene, like Fernando Beiztegui, Juanma Montero, Juan Cruz, Raspa García, Pablo Sanpa, Ñaco Goñi and several more, as well as an effective horn section A highly recommended album, well-recorded, full of very attractive moments, where the elegance and good work of Beatriz Zaragoza and her warm voice together with the rest of musicians who back her, are completely out of question
