(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ms. Puleo has one of the prettiest voices on today's cabaret scene, and it's shown to full advantage on this CD. Her "How are Things in Glocca Morra" is so lilting and melodic that it may just become the definitive version. She clearly had fun recording these songs and her "Cheek to Cheek" and "Stuff Like That There" are downright infectious. Her choice of material pays homage to the great composers of American popular music, but she also does a knockout rendition of The Beatle's "Across the Universe", displaying the versatility of an artist with many influences. Lest you think this CD is all frivolous fun, take note that she's dedicated it to her departed parents. Then listen to "You Keep Coming Back Like a Song" and "I Wish You Love/I'll Forget You" and feel the emotional wallop."
