4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely soul full!best kept secret in New York City.......2003-09-13

I bought this cd on a whim cos I liked the cover art, so bright and simple.I had no idea I'd be so blown over by this unknown artiste. All the songs are original and are they ever funky!
There are 4 songs of equal enjoyment calibre. The First which is " love like a Freak" reallly takes off near the end of the cut. I'm sure a remix would sample even more of that catchy groove. Make things nice the title cut is reminiscent of a Marvin Gaye vocal. What a truly colorful voice this blue eyed soul artist has. Number three is Pain Stain....you must here this clever,catchy humorous gem of a song also a true dance groove. try and sit dtill to this number. and last but certainly not least is the unique funk groove of 'Ride out of Control'....the rap on this is just so expressive and catchy and funny all in one. Another must hear.this is another song that develops into something else avante garde at the 'fake' end of the track.stay tuned for this dynamo of a singer.
