"This CD is based on the first-ever album the company released in 1948, when an album was just that. A collection of brittle shellac 78s in a bound, cardboard case.With the addition of 18 additional tracks, the CD showcases Brooks's keyboard rather than vocal talents ... Many of the tracks here were recorded on test discs or "acetates" that were later discarded or forgotten without even being given a title. But that doesn't detract from their quality. Tracks named here by the reissue company as "743 Blues" and "134 Blues" prove that Brooks was a fluid and more than capable performer.What were issued, were the boogies that she based on classical themes, such as "Schubert's Serenade in Boogie", "Greig's Concerto Boogie in A Minor" and "Humoresque Boogie"".

"The subtitle to Naomi Bedford's second album, "Songs of Murder, Death and Sorrow", leaves little room for doubt or argument. There are no happy endings here, and scant regard for gentler sensibilities, whether Bedford's telling the gruesome tale of "Lord Thomas and Fair Ellendor" or the sadder, sicker account of the Essex millionaire who, facing ruin, killed his family, in "Daddy's Got a Gun". Set to banjo and astringent fiddle, it's animated by Bedford's tremulous voice, a striking instrument with skillful touches of vibrato and melisma capable of transforming Warren Zevon's mythopoeic mercenary ballad "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" into a trad-folk parable ... Brilliant and original, in equal parts".
