Nora Ney - Tire o Seu Sorriso do Caminho que Eu Quero Passar com a Minha Dor (1972)

Hello, good evening! Before our daily post, I would like to address the request made by Cris-Brasil that is looking for a Nora Ney album for her mother, a great Nora Ney admirer. Cris carries Brazil on her name and I cannot fail fulfilling a mother request. Cris-Brasil and Cris-Brasil's mother, this is Nora Ney, especially anticipated from the restoration work. I'm keeping my original text below. Stay tuned there is more to come today, I'm still deciding...

I'm surprised that Nora Ney never had an album released at Loronix. Nora Ney is a very important Brazilian singer, active since 1950, being one of the great Divas from the golden age of Radio. Nora Ney was also member of Sinatra Farney Fan Club, having influenced several artists. This album has a big title, which is an anthological sentence take from a Nelson Cavaquinho tune, A Flor e O Espinho. Let's see.

This is Nora Ney - Tire o Seu Sorriso do Caminho que Eu Quero Passar com a Minha Dor (1972), for Som Livre, featuring Nora Ney renditions of her early repertoire based on songs by Nelson Cavaquinho, Luiz Bonfa, Fernando Lobo, Antonio Maria, among many others. Some reviewers consider these cuts the definitive versions of acclaimed compositions, such like Ninguem me Ama, De Cigarro em Cigarro, Franqueza, among others. Maestro Guio de Moraes is in charge of arrangements while musicians in the set are not credited. Tracks include:

01 - Desabafo (Beto Quartin / Sergio Bittencourt)
02 - Quando Eu Me Chamar Saudade (Nelson Cavaquinho / Guilherme de Brito)
03 - Bar da Noite (Bidú Reis / Haroldo Barbosa)
04 - Vamos Falar de Saudade (Chocolate / Mário Lago)
05 - Preconceito (Antônio Maria / Fernando Lobo)
