Montgomery, Melba - Melba Toast [CD]

Melba Montgomery, the "Toast of the Country," delivers a heartfelt showcase of her musical journey on Melba Toast, her fifth album for Musicor Records, released in 1967. With longtime producer "Pappy" Daily at the helm, this album shines as a tribute to the people and experiences that helped solidify her place in country music. The legendary vocal group, The Jordanaires-best known for their work with Elvis Presley-add their signature harmonies, giving each track a touch of magic and depth. The album also features stunning duets with Judy Lynn, a Broadway star and country singer who found instant chemistry with Melba during a Grand Ole Opry tour. Together, they deliver a mix of ballads and lively tunes that showcase their natural vocal blend. With Montgomery's timeless storytelling, The Jordanaires' polished harmonies, and Judy Lynn's sparkling contributions, Melba Toast is a rich, well-crafted album that perfectly captures the warmth and charm of country music's golden era.
