Esther Phillips – Capricorn Princess

39,99

This was Esther’s last album for CTI/Kudu. It is by far one of her best. Esther’s superb interpretation of a good lyric is in evidence on all of the ballads, especially I Haven’t Got Anything Better To Do and Candy. Candy features a great Esther dialogue. Her ability to tell impromptu stories was one of her unique gifts. Boy,I Really Tied One On, by Janis Ian (!) is another high point. Esther’s humor is on display on this cut. The sound quality of this reissue is excellent. If you are looking for one disc that highlights both Esther’s humor and sense of drama, along with her wonderful vinegar with a bit of honey voice, this is the album for you.
