Search - Blue By Nature :: Live at the Lake

(3 out of 5 stars)

"It's not that the music itself on this collection is so extraordinary, it's Karen Lawrence's raspy, sultry vocal delivery that makes this a must-hear. With a voice that falls somewhere between Tina Turner & Janis Joplin (but with more vocal control), or perhaps Dale Krantz of the Rossington-Collins Band would be a better comparison, Lawrence squeezes every bit of emotion out of a song. Nowhere is that more evident than on the pleading slow blues of "Fun & Games". Truly one of the best slow blues I've ever heard. I'd actually rate this collection somewhere between 3 & 4 stars."
