Mavis Rivers - Footsteps Of A Fool

Review by weelhalmina yusuf

Mavis Rivers' album Footsteps Of A Fool is a soulful and emotional journey through blues and jazz music. The album is a tribute to the great female vocalists of the past, including Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, but Rivers brings her own unique style to each track.

The opening track, "Footsteps Of A Fool," sets the tone for the album with its slow and sultry melody. Rivers' voice is rich and deep, conveying the pain and longing in the lyrics. "What A Little Moonlight Can Do" is a more upbeat track, showcasing Rivers' ability to swing with the best of them.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "God Bless The Child," a Billie Holiday classic. Rivers' interpretation is both respectful and original, with her voice soaring over the haunting melody. "Cry Me A River" is another highlight, with Rivers' voice dripping with emotion as she sings about lost love.
