Query: Eddie Miller's last album

They say the first thing to go is the ability to play a ballad well. Eddie Miller was 70 when he made this live recording in 1982, his last (he died in 1991). The ballads (STREET OF DREAMS and LAZY MOOD) don't fare nearly so well as the quicker tunes. LAZY MOOD is a bit of a shame, since it's a song so connected to Miller's career with the Bob Crosby band. But the reedy, warm Miller tone is still there (so close in sound to Bud Freeman's), and he plays well on SUNDAY, I NEVER KNEW, and LINGER AWHILE. Pianist Johnny Varro is excellent throughout as is bassist Ray Leatherwood. Miller played better earlier in his career, but it's a competent CD, worth a listen.
