"Linda has a long career as an actress, but is only recently being given attention for her incredibly warm, exciting singing voice!! Rex Reed wrote what amounts to a love letter in his review of her latest cabaret performances, and this long-awaited CD gives ample proof to a wider audience what all the hubbub's about! Her versions of songs from the 60s - HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME - THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE WITH YOU - and her compelling versions of songs from the 30s, 40s and 50s - are breathtaking! This woman can ACT as well as SING a song, and it shows!! The producers/engineers chose a rather harsh-sounding microphone for her vocals, but no matter - any recording by Linda Purl is going to be great, regardless - she's a class act - and her musical gifts are not to be denied!"
Awesome!

"I have been a fan of Linda Purl since I first saw her in the movie "Women at West Point" back in College. Fortunately, I stumbled across her website and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered she was also a singer. Curious, I purchased Alone Together and quite frankly was stunned by how good this CD really is. I may not be as culturally astute as Rex Reed, but when he described it as "enchanting"...he was right. My only question, is when is her next release?"
A major discovery

"What a surprise! The TV actress turns out to be a terrific, sultry singer who offers up a collection of classic romantic tunes with strong instrumentation. This is simply a delightful album, hopefully the first of many to follow."
WOW!

"While recently listening to the S.T.A.G.E. benefit concert honoring Johnny Mercer, Linda Purl's version of "Midnight Sun" piqued my curiosity. I decided to take a chance and order her CD, "Alone Together." I am so glad I did! Not only is her voice beautiful, but the arrangements on this CD are outstanding. Until now I had only heard Mel Carter's '60s recording of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" - I love Linda's slower tempo version here. Also of note are "Teach Me Tonight," "The Nearness of You," and "I'll Be Around." But the jewel of the CD is "You're My Thrill," a wonderful version interspersed with snippets of "Misty" - just, simply, a masterpiece! By the way, I am so tired of spending big bucks on CD's for very little play time (e.g., Bette's latest), but this CD does not disappoint in that department. It contains 15 tracks! If you like to just sit back and relax while listening to beautifully performed and flawlessly produced music, buy this CD. You will NOT be disappointed!"
