About "When The Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bobbin' Along" by Carmen McRae
McRae turns this jaunty standard into a sly, knowing wink—the red robin bobbing along as a metaphor for stubborn joy. Beneath the breezy melody, a subtle unease: is happiness a choice or a mask? Her voice flutters between buoyant swing and a whisper of melancholy, like spring's first thaw.
