Don't Smoke In Bed

Stunning brand new sealed Album, Limited Edition, 200 gram, Reissue pressed by Analologue Productions in the USA.

Holly Cole brings her own dimension to the tradition of cabaret, a strong voice  that's still capable of nuance, an ear for quirky repertoire, and a light touch  that keeps some of these performances floating just at the edge of irony.

On her second album, 1993's Don't Smoke in Bed, Cole explores varied musical  styles, adding pop, blues, country and a French ballad to her standard, low-key  jazz. Analogue Productions have given this album the reissue treatment it  deserves. Bernie Grundman did the mastering, from the original analog tapes, at  his Los Angeles studio, giving this release a spectacular foundation. Plating  and pressing on 200-gram heavyweight vinyl was done by Gary Salstrom and crew at  Quality Record Pressings, makers of the world's finest-sounding LPs. Lastly the  package has been wrapped in a premium gatefold tip-on jacket from Stoughton  Printing. There's nothing but aces in this smokin' hot reissue and the quality  shines through.

Holly's delivery of more traditional fare shines on Cole Porter's witty "Get Out  of Town" and Kurt Weill's torchy "Je Ne T'aime Pas," while she brings clarity,  power, and anthemic passion to the surprising treatment of Johnny Nash's "I Can  See Clearly Now." She's generally well supported in this intimate set by pianist  Aaron Davis and bassist Davd Piltch, while there's sparing and effective use of  strings. There are fine guest spots by tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, on  "Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday," and David Lindley, whose steel guitar  contributes to the strange country music of "Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your  Shining Heart."
