Song Stylist Extraordinaire / Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day Of My Life

It would appear that Valerie Carr has been somewhat skipped over when it comes to CD reissues and she's often referred to as a one hit wonder. However this new CD from Jasmine proves that she was a very good song stylist and was perhaps a little underrated. Features her two LPs Song Stylist Extraordinaire and Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day of My Life and on both Valerie delivers classy interpretations of such numbers as Try a Little Tenderness, In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning, I'll Be Around, Why I Was Born and Come Rain or Come Shine. It seems that Valerie Carr had a fairly short and mysterious career of which there doesn't seem to be much information. One thing is for sure though, she was a talented singer and this CD is well worth a listen for fans of R&B.
