Review
A much better quality recording than Sinatra's which just goes to show how fast the medium developed since 1946. This is a really cool album, cool in the 1950s sense of the word. Full of trumpets and a fast swing, it's some great stuff.
Peggy Lee has got a really great voice which suits the songs chosen for this recording really well, slightly mischievous, slightly world-weary and very heartfelt, her voice works wonders on these themes.
The version in this recording of My Heart Belongs to Daddy is a definitive one with less of the annoying or creepy themes coming to mind and more of a Moll feel to it. So another great album on the Mojo list, starting very well.
