Essentials: Chet Baker ‘Chet’ Album Review

Moody, lush, enticingly slow and highly evocative, this may well be the most romantic album ever made.

The Memphis horns, the superb backup singers, and Dusty Springfield’s heartfelt approach make this an essential album.

The collaborative pairing resulted in a complete album by fabled alt-country superstars Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell.

So soulful and revelatory was Jimi’s playing that his catalogue inspires players and composers across every genre.

Almost 40 years on, this album still sounds fresh and filled with new ideas. It’s an Essential work from one of Canada’s greatest songwriters.

The mesmerizing, blistering guitar and vocals by Omara Bombino Moctar arise straight out of the Sahara Desert.
