Julie London: Cry Me a River
This is the version that put the tune on the map. This version is not usually thought of as a guitar song—but listen to how perfectly Barney Kessel sets the mood for this, and then quietly carries the tune through until the end. It’s as if Julie London (at one time Mrs. Jack Webb), simply rides the chords as they float by. It’s a magnificent performance by Barney Kessel.
