Awesome interpretations...

"This CD just about floored me when I listened to it the first time. Now Baby or Never (a Billie Holiday penned gem) is superb, the semi-funk intro and vamp out on Lover Come Back to Me were totally unexpected and cool (esp. w/traditional interpretation on the head)and the soulful rendition of Muddy Water is a must listen. If there was a single reason to get this CD, however, it would have to be Tennessee Waltz. The first time I listened to it I thought, "cool, but something's not right..." There wasn't anything wrong with it, it just wasn't a waltz. Talk about turning something on it's head--Tennessee Waltz in a 4/4 second-line New Orleans ("straight")shuffle--no kidding. All I can say is--AWESOME!!!!"
