Ruth Crews’ 1981 album If You Can't Hide It Decorate It offers a charming blend of jazz and pop standards, showcasing her warm vocal style across timeless tunes like "Barrelhouse Bessie" and "Cry Me A River."

It’s the sort of set where the title’s advice might just apply to the music itself—if you can’t hide the vintage, decorate it with some solid grooves. This 1981 vinyl pressing presents these tracks with a VG+ condition that promises reliable play with minor surface marks or faint paper scuffs typical of a well-loved record but nothing that should distract from the listening experience. For those who appreciate vocal jazz and pop standards on vinyl, this pressing stands as a straightforward way to add Ruth Crews’ nuanced interpretations to the collection without fuss. The album’s modest charm and clean condition make it a pleasant find for anyone looking to explore beyond the usual catalog.
