Recorded in 1956 for the EmArcy label, Vaughan teams up with Hal Mooney and his orchestra to immerse in a collection of classic ballads and standards. Starting with Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life”, Vaughan shines throughout the set. Rodgers & Hart’s “My Romance” is a standout performance, and the raw emotion in “I’m Afraid the Masquerade Is Over” is truly felt.

Shake Down The Stars 4. I’ve Got Some Crying To Do 5. My Romance 6. I Loved Him; Side B - 1. Lonely Woman 2. I’m Afraid The Masquerade is Over 3. The Boy Next Door 4. Old Folks 5. Only You Can Say 6.
