No More in Life


No More in Life is the second album by jazz vocalist Mildred Anderson recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label early the following year.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Considering how well she sings on this set, it is strange that Mildred Anderson would have no further opportunities to lead her own albums". Chris Smith, in The [Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings] described the album as "uneven", on the title track "her pitch and dynamics are erratic". Of one of the stronger tracks: "Oddly, given that Anderson can have problems even with harmonically straightforward material, "That Old Devil Called Love", an audacious attempt at Billie Holiday's style is quite appealing." Smith says the album is "not as inessential as Person to Person, her earlier Bluesville album.
