Lady Sings the Blues

Lady Sings the Blues is an album released in 2005. It has 16 songs, all by Billie Holiday. Holiday's voice is recorded in a studio, but the atmosphere created is as if she were singing in a dark place, with silence surrounding her. In some songs, the sound of a piano can be heard, but not much more. It's as if the recording was made with few elements, but that gives it a very personal feeling.
