Joe Williams: Deep Cuts
Apple Music
Joe Williams had already achieved an uncommon vocal maturity as a jazz singer in his youth, but he developed an even deeper subtlety to his approach as he grew older. His bemused perspective on love in "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good" and his world-weary tone on "I Ain't Got Nothing But the Blues" make it clear that Williams' world-class pipes aged like the finest of wines.
