This release contains the complete Dinah Washington LP "Back to the Blues" (Roulette SR-25189), which presented the singer accompanied by an orchestra conducted and arranged by Fred Norman on most tracks. After a series of successful pop-oriented records, Dinah intended for this album to return her, as the title suggests, to her musical roots. This CD is completed with eleven tracks from the same sessions that had not been included on the original album, among them, an alternate version of one of the LP’s songs.
