Sunny
Squeegie
For Once In My Life I've Got To Be Me!
(c. 1960's?)
Liner notes:
"Squeegie is the lady's real name! Equally as unusual is the amazing vocal versatility she demonstrates in this, her first LP album. Ranging in style from the dynamic "rock" of "Sunny" to the tenderness in the torch rendition of "Go Away" she displays the artistic flexibility and grace which has won her the adulation and respect of live audiences wherever she has performed..."
Well, she never made another record, but one wonders what that would have sounded like... there is an ethereal element at play here which gives the album a layer of unintentional atmosphere.
The microphone sounds like it was on the other side of an auditorium, giving the whole record a cavernous echo laden sound. Throw in the percussive bass and cordovox, and this makes for a weird lounge feel that leaves you in some valium induced cross road between reality and sleep deprivation!
