Losers, Weepers
Kay Starr
Produced by Dave Cavanaugh
Capitol Records T1303
1960

From the back cover: Kay, of course, has been famous for her easy, rhythmic style since she first started making Capitol records way back in 1947. She has gone on to become one of the most popular feminine vocalists in the business, with almost more hits that even she can keep track of. Her most recent album, "Movin'!", marked her first performance with the band of arranger-conductor Van Alexander, and here again she sings with Van. But this time, in keeping with the feelingful moods of these tunes, he provides a sympathetic background of strings that form a pleasing contrast to Kay's rhythmic designs. He has created another element of contrast, too, using the strings as a basic background through which glint mellow solo accents by muted trumpet and trombone, guitar, piano, and saxophone.

From Billboard - February 15, 1960: Kay Starr sings the low-down, too-sad-for-tears blues, and the upbeat, rowdy, happy rhythms, and does well by all as evidenced b y the selections in her Capitol album, Losers, Weepers. Single-wise, her newest is You Always Hurt The One You Love b-w Gonna Get A Guy. A confirmed California, the free time which Kay values so greatly is spent sailing a 72-foot sloop and playing a golf game in which she breaks 100 "if I break my back."
