AMG Review of Alone
JT Griffith
All Music GuideJudy Garland's Alone was first released in 1957 and was recently re-released on CD . This LP was her third for Capitol Records. The CD includes a bonus track not included on the Alone LP, "Then You've Never Been Blue." Garland teams up with arranger-conductor Gordon Jenkins who adds three different backgrounds to the album: strings, orchestra alone, and orchestra with voices. Alone is a collection of tender and heartbreaking allads centering around solitude and the lues. It is a moody album not recommended for fans of Judy Garland's more upbeat material. Alone was also re-released on vinyl by Capitol in an "abridged" form without the track "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues."
