another Mike Campbell loves it too:
Buy this just to hear her sing the words "you, you" in RHODE ISLAND. Then ask yourself if you ever loved anyone with that deep a feeling. Essential CD.
Wonderful:
Overall this is a wonderful collection that merits four stars only becuase it doesn't measure up to my favorite LaMott work - Come Rain or Come Shine. When compared to other singers, she's always in the five star range. She can interpret a lyric as well as anyone in the business. Other reviewers have commented about the brilliant medley of Good Thing Going/Not a Day Goes By and I agree completely. But, don't overlook No Moon at All/Old Devil Moon. Listen and enjoy.
Creme de la creme:
This is the LaMott album I always use when I'm introducing her to listeners whose discernment I trust. It offers the best combination of musical intelligence and emotive wallop. The tunes are all inspired choices and the arrangements are tasteful and not overwrought. (I'd have to list "Two for the Road" as a personal favorite.) Call her a jazz singer, a cabaret artist, a thinking person's Streisand--however you define her, she was just about the brightest, freshest, classiest vocal talent to emerge during the '90's. Then she succumbed to Crohn's disease and, insult added to injury, litigation that restricted and all but stopped commercial distribution of her recordings. Even if Amazon isn't carrying her precious half-dozen albums, look just a bit harder until you find someone who has them. Not all good things in life are a mere mouse click away.
