Set for release on October 18, the project reimagines the grunge anthems of Cutchins' youth through the lens of jazz, creating nostalgic music that also sounds fresh.

BILLIE HOLIDAY
Billie Holiday’s Greatest Hits
1980 Canada reissue

An exhausted, quiet Friday night.
I’m absolutely spent, and have nothing left to give today.

I needed something for my soul before crashing out for some well deserved rest, and this was just lying on top of a pile of records in the corner that I’ve bought over the past few weeks.
Oh yes.
That’ll do just fine and then some.
Soothe my soul, Lady Day.
