Dinah Washington - Mellow Mama

FRET12 is proud to partner with Chicago favorites, Delmark Records. Delmark has been spinning up the uniquely Bluesy sound of the Windy City since 1953, and their records have a perfect home at our Salt Shed Shop.

Mellow Mama by Dinah Washington captures the fiery brilliance of one of jazz and blues’ most commanding voices at the dawn of her career. Backed by the swinging Lionel Hampton band, this Delmark Records release delivers smoky ballads, jump blues, and Washington’s signature blend of sass and soul. A must-hear for anyone who craves vintage tone, timeless style, and pure vocal mastery.
