Sings Way Out from Down Under was the first of two ABC albums for jazz singer Lu Elliott. It featured songs such as " I've Got You Under My Skin", "Some Other Town", and "I Was a Fool".
The album was released in 1967 by ABC Records. [1] It was dedicated to Elliott's Australian audience stemming from her time in Australia. [2] The arrangements for the album were by Johnny Pate. [3]
"I Love the Ground You Walk On", produced by Johnny Pate and Lou Zito, was released as a single in February 1967. [4]
A short review of the album in the December 2 issue of Billboard magazine said that Elliott handled soul numbers such as " Speaking of Happiness" with deep emotion and she could handle a lyric with the best of them. [5] It also received a rave review from Hi Fidelity magazine. It mentioned that most of the soul sisters that derive from Dinah Washington were a terrible drag but Lu Elliott was an exception who could twist the tail of a song when it was appropriate. [6]
