Cry Me A River - Julie London (Allison Young cover ft. Chanceyland)

[@jameseast7966]

Thanks Ms. Allison, for keeping the old standards alive. Nobody does it better.

[@luciusbouchard3533]

I second this assertion. A big thank you for sharing these Time Capsules with us. 💜

[@Wobbz9413]

Diana Krall does it better by far! This, however, is very nice.

[@yendorcire]

That would be a great song to cover!

[@johnnypee]

Wow! Thank you for two minutes and forty seconds of peace. I love how your voice just floats in the air. The guitar sounds perfect, too. Like air on a G string.I am outside listening with a gazillion peepers and crickets accompanying you. It’s perfect.

[@trainliker100]

She sings like she has lived through and experienced every decade going back to the 1920's. WAY more than just a wonderful voice.

[@Bmarker299]

Well said! i remain speechless. Natural grace

[@jeffhughes6167]

This lovely lady has a talent that only one in a million can achieve, I’m a huge fan of the restraint of her vocal control, she is simply amazing !!!!!

[@massimochiappina5833]

Amazing voice, gorgeous guitar sound.

[@sziltner]

When I was quite young, I had a 45rpm record of Julie London singing this song. Thanks for the memory. 👍🏻🎶

[@Tyndan]

Such a beautiful song. Julie London is criminally unknown outside of certain circles. Fantastic rendition.

[@Yesica1993]

I only knew her from my childhood watching of the 70's EMERGENCY! show. I had no idea she was a singer! I'd been recently watching the show again and decided to look her up. I couldn't believe it. I kept checking the picture and name and info to be sure it was the same person, LOL! She's amazing!

[@dang1861]

[@brassinpocket76]

Couldn't stop smiling. Perfect blend of your voice and Chancey's low-key electric. Thank you.

[@geraldellis4875]

Dang Ms Allison! What on earth... That gave me the shakes!!! You are the definition of angelic. WELL DONE!!!

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Oh, just superb! I love it that you avoided the trap of adding too many vocal tricks. Like the divine Ms. London herself, you just used tasteful, tasteful phrasing to deliver this superb song. Amen amen amen!

[@markweaver1012]

Agreed! For me, all the vocal gymnastics are like fingernails on a chalkboard -- Allison's style is bliss in comparison (is it too much to hope that her style is making a comeback?)

[@bobtaylor170]

She's a marvel. You just don't expect to find this in a young woman. I like Samara Joy, and Esperanza Spalding is her own weird delight, but Alison here not only has great taste, but yes, she doesn't do the unbearable vocal gymnastics which 99% of people today take for granted constitutes "real" singing. I'd like to believe a wider public will come to appreciate her, but I fear her ceiling is limited by the stupidity which has engulfed the population.

[@trainliker100]

Exactly. I like to call this sort of singing "honest and true." It was actually one of Frank Sinatra's secrets. He said you should sing the song as the composer wrote it.

[@bobtaylor170]

@@trainliker100 even Thelonious Monk advised, "Always play the melody!"

[@robertsmith9373]

Exceptional!! Why isn't this Lady a star?

[@jeffhughes6167]

She is getting there at warp speed !!!!!

[@michaelwestgate2124]

I love the way you never over-sing anything and just let the song speak for itself. Beautiful. I would like to hear you sing 'The folks who live on the hill' one day!

[@mannybochamp7342]

Magnificent and sublime

Thank you Allison, it's always a Beautiful day when we have a new post from you. Absolutely Lovely.

Beautifully done. Where have you been when the world needed more of your music? Please don't leave it so long to post more. ❤👍

[@wyattblessing7078]

She's been on tour with Josh.

[@salimufari]

& that's after her PMJ tour.

[@janew2108]

Ms. Allison sounds flawless against that beautiful guitar.

[@cguzelli1]

A music producer here. Allison you embrace the essence of Julie London's original, but you make it your own. A different vocal timbre and phrasing that is so tasteful letting your version stand out with exceptional guitar playing.

[@michaeltutty1540]

Absolutely stunning. I love to hear a musician who can sing a well known song, but make it their own while remaining true to the composer's message

[@msapostle]

You are absolutely a fantastic singer Allison....a true gift.

[@denisep.98]

Wow - goosebumps. Even Julie has to be a little jealous, looking down from her perch. What an amazing rendition of this classic. 💕

[@foljs5858]

Alison's voice beats Julie London

Allison - you are so amazing !!! Love you so much !!!!

Very old souls in young bodies. Thank you gor the music and keep 'em oldies alive!

[@bh5606]

Glad to see you again!

[@billytetlow]

Should Allison ever read these comments, I was the guy at the Robin Hoods bay gig who asked her why hadn't she recorded Cry Me a River, she told me that she had and pointed me to where I could find it, I did and wow, I now have three versions of the song, Ella Fitzgerald who sang the original, Julie London whose husband wrote it, and now Allison, all are superb and I will never be able to decide who does it best. Thanks Allison, wonderful evening with Bygones last night.

[@theivory1]

That is one beautiful song, and an even prettier guitar.

[@andrewowen-price4496]

I'm old enough to remember buying the original Julie London 45rpm single, I think on Decca 'black label, with brown and white stripe paper cover. Always a great song - terrific remaking by Alison and Chanceyland).For me, pure time travel :)

[@richmondnorte6864]

It's been awhile but worth the wait.

[@marvinwhisman3333]

I think Julie London would be very happy with your arrangement. Great job Allison, so glad you held to the original version.

[@JackFlaps]

thanks for sharing this, it`s beautiful.

[@patrickgibson6648]

Such a nice meld of sultry and sweet. Always a pleasure to hear her sing, especially the old standards.

[@danielbierwirth2190]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs You've done. I remember Julie London doing it on TV when I was very young. TV's were Black and White in those days. My parents had a number of her albums and some with her husband Bobby Troupe who was an incredible musician in his own right. I'm pretty sure we have unopened copies of them somewhere in their stuff. My Dad never bought 1 album. He always bought 2, one to open and the other went in his collection un opened. This style of music fits your singing style very well. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories, and sharing this beautiful song.

[@luigibianconi8498]

Very emotionally...thanks...!!!

[@aislingbooks]

My mother used to sing this song with her rich alto voice. Your cover is so lovely too. Thanks, Allison. It brought back sweet memories.

Allison, you are a gift. Understatement carries great weight. The truth is so bare it doesn't need additional force. Restraint that you have is wonderful. Keep up the good work.

[@DeniseBrunet-en1hg]

C'est juste un "régal" d'écouter cette jolie jeune femme!!

[@howlinhobbit]

one of my all time favorites, and Ms London’s version is my yardstick for other versions. you managed to equal that easily, while putting your own feel into it. I swoon!

[@ParaBellum2024]

Allison never disappoints. Pure class. Are you familiar with Merle Haggard's version? The instrumentation's a bit OTT, but he sang it with conviction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHSZmHysatCjp80.

[@howlinhobbit]

@@ParaBellum2024 - thanks! I like his work already but I’d never have guessed he’d cover this sort of tune. he just tore it up! p.s. I don’t find the instrumentation over the top. whoever produced this recording had a light touch.

[@CraigPendlebury]

Sublime beyond compare. Thank you both for this musical treasure.

[@PhilosopherThom]

One of my favourite jazz numbers that strangely isn't a standard. I only know Diana Krall live in Paris and the Londen version. My former singing teacher who graduated cum laude at the Conservatorium for jazz singing didn't know the song when I brought it in. Lovely to have another good version to listen to. Kudos!

[@samhardy2038]

The American Songbook Terrific Keep them coming!

[@Bellerophon17]

I like that is brighter or more frivolous than the classic version - makes it sound more like a sardonic "F U" than someone resigned and talking to the bottom of their wine glass. Always reminds me of V for Vendetta too.

[@mrstandfast2212]

It's just after midnight here in the UK, and KZbin flags up a fresh offering from Allison. What a lovely way to start a new day. I knew I was going to uptick this song and soon as I saw that Allison was covering it. It's ideally suited to her voice, and she performs it with aplomb.
