Originally issued in April 1957. All tracks with the exception of "Sweet Lorraine" were recorded over two days in December 1956 for this LP. The 12th track from that '56 session was the uproarious "Ram-Bunk-Shush" which was hardly a good fit for an album which some might call "dreamy" others "romantic" and yet others "kitsch." Even if you do find the accumulation of slow tracks a bit too sickly sweet, there are still good moments featuring Clifford Scott and Billy Butler.

Many Thanks... Looking forward to this, come, happy hour. ;-)
Thanks BW, always enjoy listening to Bill.
Cheers, folks! This is an album that I didn't like for many years, but I've recently come round to it a bit more. There have been more R&B oriented Doggett albums on the blog in the past. King seemed to have churned out Doggett and Bostic LPs by the dozen.
