Review by Maša Nikolov

Katharine Handy Lewis and James P Johnson have collaborated to bring a beautiful album, W C Handy Blues Sung By His Daughter Katharine Handy Lewis In Traditional Style. As the title suggests, the album is a tribute to the legendary blues composer W C Handy, who is known as the "Father of the Blues."

Katharine Handy Lewis's soulful voice brings a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to the album. She has inherited her father's talent for singing the blues and has done an excellent job of keeping his legacy alive. James P Johnson's arrangements are superb and complement Katharine's voice perfectly.

The album is a collection of some of W C Handy's most famous blues songs, including "St. Louis Blues," "Beale Street Blues," and "Memphis Blues." The traditional style of singing and the use of authentic instruments give the album a vintage feel that transports the listener back in time.
