Disc one opens with the swinging confidence of \u003cem\u003eLove With a Capital You\u003c\/em\u003e and moves through blues territory with \u003cem\u003eSharecroppin' Blues\u003c\/em\u003e, the jazz standard \u003cem\u003eWhat a Difference a Day Made\u003c\/em\u003e, and the gospel-tinged \u003cem\u003eNobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen\u003c\/em\u003e, before closing with the Dixieland exuberance of \u003cem\u003eDixieland Band\u003c\/em\u003e. Disc two is equally wide-ranging: \u003cem\u003eLove Me or Leave Me\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStormy Weather\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHoneysuckle Rose\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eI've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm\u003c\/em\u003e sit alongside lesser-known gems that reward the attentive listener with the same warmth and authority that would later make Starr a star of the first magnitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are recordings that document not merely a career in its early stages, but a voice in the process of becoming itself — and that process, captured here with the care and expertise that Jasmine consistently brings to its archive releases, is a genuinely compelling thing to witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove With a Capital You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharecroppin' Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Out, Come Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWherever You Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat a Difference a Day Made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInto Each Life Some Rain Must Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Always Hurt the One You Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight) [Alt.
