Fab stuff and a unique voice
author: Steve Howard
Thanks to the BBC for playing Dead Egyptian Blues when I was driving home from work - had to buy the CD, and the highlight is My Life - have been waking up to this track and then staying in bed to listen to the whole album...puts me in a good mood for the whole day. Bernice has an amazing voice with a vibrato that is truly amazing; her musical arrangements are subtle and beautiful. She deserves to be much better known over in the UK - please come to England and put on a concert for us!

Best version of Dead Egyptian Blues
author: Sue James
I admit it. I bought this album for Dead Egyptian Blues. It's just a brilliant version and we sing along and laugh every time we play it. Love Bernice's voice throughout the album - really clear and strong.

Heard "Dead Egyption Blues" on the BBC and just had to get it. Rest of the album is very good and I love Bernice's voice and her clear diction. Any suggestions for other Lewis puchases
