lonely town charlie haden shirley horn

Of all the many renditions of Lonely Town, this version by Charlie Hayden and Shirley Horn evokes the true feeling of loneliness that the composition was meant trigger. How many times in my world travels to the big and small towns have I had this feeling that Shirley brought memories to my brain as I miss ed my wife and son.

Shirley Horn and Charlie Haden--no better combination. Grateful to have seen them both perform live

A wonderfully complex Leonard Bernstein tune, beautifully suited to Shirley Horn, being mournful and slow. Superbly orchestrated arrangement by Alan Broadbent.All these superlatives; but they're well-deserved!

This song heads the lineup on the CD "The Art of Song." It's a ballad that I never tire of hearing, even after many years. The second time Shirley returns to the lyric "Unless there's love, the world's an empty place" I am completely sold on her, very thankful for good music and musicians.

Noe Berengena its gorgeous isn;t? I just found this song....and as a all genre music lover ( yet super discerning) I found this fabulously sophisticated .

***** Another gem is Shirley Horn's "Quietly There," which is on KZbin. Devastatingly beautiful -- when I moved from Berkeley to Los Angeles I played that song countless times, usually at dusk. That entire album "Here's to Life" is a must have.
