Already in her 60’s and well-established as “the last of the red-hot mamas,” Sophie Tucker was something of a nostalgia act when she embraced the “album” format in the 1950s and reached back to the earliest portion of her career for “Cabaret Days,” a recreation of what it was like to sing in the rowdy saloons of her youth, complete with thunderous applause and chatter from a simulated audience. The performance, however, is quite real as she offers new versions of her old chestnuts and makes what was probably her last attempt at real singing. She was not to be defeated by diminishing vocal skills and also included her risqué nightclub material, which she promoted as “her latest and greatest spicy songs.
Most of the material here are on CD for the first time including a rare and private recording of “Some of These Days”.
