Freda Payne - After The Lights Go Down Low And Much More
Review by bw communications
Freda Payne's album After The Lights Go Down Low And Much More is a soulful journey through the classic tunes of the 1950s and 1960s. With her powerful and sultry voice, Payne takes on some of the greatest hits of the era and makes them her own.
The album opens with the title track, "After The Lights Go Down Low," a slow and smoky ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Payne's voice is rich and emotive, conveying the longing and heartbreak of the lyrics with ease.
Other standout tracks include "The Island," a breezy and romantic tune that showcases Payne's range and versatility as a vocalist, and "It's Time," a funky and upbeat number that will have listeners tapping their toes and nodding their heads.
Throughout the album, Payne is backed by a talented band of musicians who bring their own energy and style to the songs. The result is a collection of tracks that are both timeless and fresh, paying homage to the classic sounds of the past while also feeling contemporary and relevant.

WOW!!!! Awesome.
"Band of Gold" was a great Freda Payne hit song but her jazz vocals are incredible. She should have continued in this genre and be patient. I would go see her sing this stuff. What a great band behind her also.
Thanks for posting this early recording.
