Birds of a Feather is a 1958 album by
Carmen McRae. The album was arranged by
Ralph Burns, and features the saxophonist
Ben Webster. All the songs on the album reference birds in some way.[1]
John Bush reviewed the album for
Allmusic and wrote that "Fortunately, there are plenty of good songs on the subject, and it's not so narrow that all the focus hinges on birds themselves." Bush praised
Ben Webster's solo on "Bob White (Watcha Gonna Swing Tonight?)".[1]
Webster's biographer, Frank Buchmann-Moller, wrote that his performances on the album alternate between "routine and inspired", and likened his work on "Flamingo" to the "beating wings of a landing bird".[3]
