AMG:
"Ruth Brown was starring on Broadway in Black and Blue when she recorded her second Fantasy set. The emphasis is on ancient standards (mostly from the 1920s) that predated Brown's rise as an R&B star in the '50s. Assisted by trumpeter Spanky Davis, tenorman Red Holloway, trombonist Britt Woodman, a rhythm section led by pianist/organist Bobby Forrester and (on three numbers) altoist Hank Crawford, Brown makes such songs as 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out,' 'If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' on It' and 'Am I Blue' sound as if they were written for her."
