Alberta Hunter - Look For The Silver Lining (1982)
 












01. Without rhythm
02. Look for the silver lining
03. Now I'm satisfied
04. Georgia on my mind
05. J'ai deux amours
06. Black man
07. He's funny that way
08. Somebody loves me
09. On the sunny side of the street
10. Somebody told me so

Classic blues singer Alberta Hunter's final recording (made when she was 87, two years before her death) is as powerful as her previous three Columbia albums. The legendary delightful singer puts plenty of feeling into "Look for the Silver Lining," "He's Funny That Way," "Somebody Loves Me" and four of her originals. As was true of each of her final sets, Hunter is joined by the Gerald Cook quartet and several veteran horn players (trumpeters Doc Cheatham and Jonah Jones, trombonist Vic Dickenson and tenorman Budd Johnson), all of whom sound quite happy to be supporting the ancient yet ageless singer. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
