'Peggy's Got The Blues' ~ Catherine Lima

Peggy Lee – a dazzling icon of the jazz scene in the 40’s and 50’s was an enduring star who had great success throughout her career and went on to perform until she was well into her 70’s ‘Peggy's Got The Blues’ explores her more blues inspired repertoire and the adversities that she overcame. Her voice was very distinctive – it was understated but full of subtlety with a breathy tone that became her trademark – significantly enhanced by her liking for cigarettes! She made over 50 albums covering many different styles of music giving them all her unique treatment – it seemed she could turn her voice to anything – however, she had an innate blues style and Catherine Lima’s ‘Peggy’s Got The Blues’ celebrates that style including her greatest hits. The songs chosen explore wistfulness, irony, joyful memories, regret and out and out defiance!
