A rare album from a great little singer – a swinging jazz vocal set from the 60s, originally issued on a tiny label in Rock Island, Illinois! Sue Childs has a nicely personal feel here – a bit less polish than some of her mainstream contemporaries, but in ways that make the record stand out – almost like you're catching Sue at some late night set, in a small out of the way club – which is probably the sort of place she regularly worked! Backing is by a tight combo on most numbers – comprised of trombone, tenor, guitar, bass, and drums handled by lesser-known players – but the great tenorist JR Monterose makes a surprise appearance on two tracks too. Titles include "The Girl From Ipanema", "Out Of Nowhere", "All Or Nothing At All", "The Lonesome Road", "Lollipops & Roses", "You Make Me Feel So Young", and "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To".
