Louis and the Angels is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong, recorded on January 29–30, 1957 and released on Decca later that year. Loosely a concept album, the setlist comprises songs referring to angels.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow says, "This obscure set by Louis Armstrong has its strange appeal. Satch gets off a few good trumpet solos and is quite cheerful throughout, even joking during 'The Prisoner's Song' when the word 'angel' finally shows up.... Although more commercial than Armstrong's usual recordings of the era, this set is more memorable than one would expect and is worth searching for."[1]
