{"product_id":"lady-in-satin","title":"Lady in Satin","description":"Amazon.com\n\nA harrowing classic, Billie Holiday's personal favorite among her '50s albums captures the singer 17 months before her death, her once honeyed voice, scarred and weakened from punishing life, its ravages highlighted by the 1958 session's crisp sonics and the contrasting \"satin\" of Ray Ellis' sleek string arrangements. Yet it is that very contrast that explains the power of these performances: In revisiting its torchy standards, Holiday reduces them to their core of pain and longing, transforming \"I'm a Fool to Want You,\" \"You Don't Know What Love Is,\" and \"You've Changed\" into naked declarations as mesmerizing and unsettling as a horrific accident. Any postrocker that presumes pop standards and string sections automatically translate to \"easy listening\" hasn't listened to this. This 1997 version adds unreleased takes and a beautiful 20-bit digital transfer to extract every shivering pang of Holiday's music. --Sam Sutherland\n\nProduct description\n\nHOLIDAY BILLIE LADY IN SATIN\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002AH9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002AH9.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Billie Holiday\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
