It's sad to reflect on the fact that Billie Holiday was a hard-line junk user when she made these recordings. It would be nice to think that she brought about the profoundly relaxed feel of "Day In, Day Out" without the aid of narcotics. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful album in spite of the opinion of some uptight critics that Billie Holiday's late-period sides for Verve were merely the money-grubbing croaks of a former goddess descending gradually into her grave. I can't help but have a relaxed feel-good grin on my face as I listen to these tracks. This music sounds best late at night because the album has a club feel. The band's accompaniment is perfectly appropriate to that unique instrument they are supporting, Lady Day's voice.
