A favorite off the recommended list by The Absolute Sound magazine, and, as expressed in the liner notes, Harry Belafonte's favorite recording
Belafonte has never before sung on records as he does in this album
He is freer, more earthy, more exultantly identified with his material than ever before
He has always communicated an often ferocious power as well as lyrical sensitivity, but in this collection he achieves a unity of emotional strength in and understanding of his material that marks an important stage in his evolution as an artist
Includes classic songs "Cotton Fields", "God Bless' The Child", "Hallelujah I Love Her So"
Recorded in New York City in January and March 1958, and in Hollywood, California, in June 1958
As the liner notes by Nat Hentoff state, there is not much to say about the individual performances that is not entirely clear on hearing them
Truly a classic for discerning audiophiles, "Belafonte Sings The Blues" was the first Belafonte album recorded in stereo
RECORDING New York January 29 1958, March 29 1958 and Hollywood June 5 and 7 1958
