Hybrid Stereo SACD! Mastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound!
Includes classic songs "Cotton Fields," "God Bless' The Child," and "Hallelujah I Love Her So." It was 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. The sound is incredible; this is one of Belafonte's most satisfying set of performances. This Hybrid Stereo SACD plays in both CD and SACD players, as well as all SACD-compatible DVD players.

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," and "Hallelujah I Love Her So." It was recorded in New York City in January and March 1958, and in Hollywood, California, in June 1958.
