Travelin' Light is a 1965 studio album by Shirley Horn.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars and said that "the main star throughout is Horn. Not all of the material is equally strong and none of the very concise dozen performances clocks in at even three minutes, so this is not an essential session. But Shirley Horn fans and completists will want the generally enjoyable vocal date."
