Editorial Review: Album Description: Judy's 1963 debut for Elektra was a live affair recorded in front of a well-oiled studio audience, the perfect venue for not only her passionate singing style but also her irreverent between-song patter! Collectors' Choice exclusive. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Great MemoriesThe album still packs the same punch as it did years ago. There is no performer like Judy Heske. She is one of a kind. Rating: - Remarkably HipI was rummaging through a used record shop in the early 80's when I stumbled across this album in the dollar bin. It was probably the best buck I ever spent! This 1963 live performance is a wonderful example of the coffee house experience,But wait not exactly, as it has elements of jazz, barrelhouse, Americana, comedy....jeesh it's got a bit of everything. Does anybody wonder why this remarkable performer has managed to stay under the radar of the general public? I don't. Eclectic to a fault, unable to pigeonhole this artist, as her selections run the gamut. She has the ability to serenade sweetly and turn on a dime and get low down and dirty. There are those who complain about the topical humor in the intros. And I understand it to a ... Read More: Rating: - Judy is a bitchin' singerI heard Judy Henske in a live performance at Western Washington State College in the mid-1960s. I had already been listening to this album for over a year and was in absolute bliss as I sat there watching and listening to her sing, tell short stories, and give one of the very best performances I have ever attended. This album remains my favorite. It is live, it is fun, and it is just downright real. Sit back and enjoy an amazingly unique singer. Rating:  - Debut of a Cult LegendThere was a kind of whimsical humor that was popular in the 60s that is doubtless lost on today's edgier, more jaded crowd. That's certainly even more the case when,as occurs on Judy Henske's 1963 debut, some of the gags refer to television commercials of the day ("Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself," and "Can't you keep Billy's bicycle out of the driveway," both tips of the hat to Anacin commercials of the era). Judy Henske's intros are probably in a class by themselves, and many fans who had the vinyl album--as well as a number of new fans, I hope--will find themselves charmed by such off-the-wall remarks as "This next song dates back to the Appalachian Mountains" (sounds ALMOST logical, right?) or "And now, a special treat--ANOTHER ... Read More: Rating: - One of the more unique talentsIf you haven't heard Judy Henske what she does is pretty much beyond explanation. If you have heard her - you don't need any explanation. Through fire and flood and the other calamities of life I've managed to preserve or replace about a dozen of my favourite lps from the early 60s -- This one and "High Flyin' Bird", Judy Henske's second album are among that dozen. She is the only living person who can compete with Bessy Smith on "Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out" - unfortunately that cut is on another album which didn't survive. Some of the comedy on the album gets old fairly fast. For many years I've listened to a tape I made of it, which cut out the comedy -- it was pretty good but after a few hundred hearings you ...
