#GreatAlbums1950s - #NatKingCole – After Midnight (1956). Surviving racist attacks and skepticism toward his crossover success in a “white” music industry, Cole became legendary as both a jazz pianist and popular singer. This definitive LP revives earlier hits like “Sweet Lorraine” and “Route 66” with the Cole Trio augmented by horns and Stuff Smith’s Grappelli-like violin. Ballads like “Lonely One” and “Blame It on My Youth” melt against Cole’s intimate, ever-soulful singing.

This week's #TuneTuesday about #MusicStreets : songs about streets got me thinking.
What is the difference between a street and a road? Is every street a road and is every road a street? 🤔
I am gonna choose a song about a road - the mother road, to be more specific.
I love Route 66, I travelled on it 3 times and it was always magnificent.
Here is Nat King Cole with "(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66"
