Peggy Lee - Guitars ala Lee (1966)

Peggy Lee - Guitars ala Lee 

"Guitars ala Lee" was the second album released by Peggy Lee on her rebound take with Capitol Records.   Although the album does feature lots of fine guitars is also is filled with woodwinds, strings, bass and drums.

  This album contains a nice mix of songs ranging from pop to lullabys to Big Band genres all caressed by the soft vocals of Peggy Lee who I adore!   

. "Nice 'n' Easy" plays ode to Sinatra with a swing or two in there while on "Good Times," turns to the blues.  Billy May's "Call Me" and "Good Times" absoluetly sizzle wiith a huge Big  Band soundscape.

  My personal favourite track is the little unassuming track "Think Beautiful" which I think Peggy Lee nails !
