The debut effort for acclaimed artist/writer Kelley Hunt, this title has been a favorite of the North American swing dance community. The track If I Don't Dance was released in the 1998 Sony/Mandalay feature film Dance With Me starring Kris Kristofferson and Vanessa L. Williams. Produced by eminent roots B3 player/vocalist Mike Finnigan, the disc also features guest appearances by tenor sax man/Crusaders founder Wilton Felder, slide guitarist Johnnie Lee Schell (Bonnie Raitt), and bassist Reggie McBride (Keb 'Mo').
"The only thing better than a Kelley Hunt CD is to see her live -- I kinda think she and Bonnie Raitt are long-lost sisters. She looks as good as she sounds and has soul beaucoups. Buy this album and catch her at a blues festival or blues club if you ever get a chance."

".... The tracks for the CD shown are: Talk To Me, Brick By Brick, I Miss You, Invisible Woman, Dancing Too Fast, Sad Cafe, If I Don't Dance, Who's That Fool, Crawn Through Kansas, Walk All The Way Home, That Old Door. ... this is an awesome CD. You don't hear too many singers like Kelley Hunt any more. It was hard for me to stay seated when I put her CD on. I discovered her music on a dance website and recommended it to my dance instructor. When I said her name he became very excited because he had received inquiries from so many students asking about where they could buy the CD. I'd recommend this CD to anyone looking for something for both listening and dancing."
What talent---voice, songwriting, piano artistry

"Wow, these songs get in your blood and in your dreams. The stories that she tells are remarkable. Ballads the likes of which we haven't heard since Arlo Guthrie! And boogey woogie 'til the cows come home, you can't sit still and listen to these great cuts. Loved "Inspiration" her second CD even better!"
Wonderful, amazing talent!!!

""Walk Through Kansas" is hauntingly beautiful. Everything is well written, well sung, well played! I can't wait for her next CD."
