NANCY AT HER PEAK AND MOST MEMORABLE

"This CD is really one of Nancy's BEST, not just on Capitol but her entire career. I enjoyed listening to the added edge and smokiness that Nancy just ooozes on this recording. What makes this CD a treasure is not only the song selection, but the acquired wisdom Nancy emotes in her voice that was sometimes missing on her previous Capitol releases. Not here, she really attacks each song and gives it an extra edge and bite to make it stand out. Favorites include "In the Heat of the Night", "Angel Eyes" (her version EQUALS Sinatra's), "Why Try to Change Me Now" (you can just picture her sitting on a bar stool staring into an empty glass as she sings this heartbreaker) and "It Never Entered My Mind".....oh hell, why not say ALL of the songs here. Nancy gives one memorable performance after another. You might not forget her cut of Bobby Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe", it's as if she's channeling the spirit of Bessie Smith, this is the most bluesy version I've heard of the song. I would say this is probably the top 2 or 3 Nancy Wilson CD's I own. Simply remarkable!"

Satisfying Vocal Treat

"Nancy Wilson has the ability to dazzle your mind with just a whisper of her voice! Feast your ears to a sassy opening song "In The Heat Of The Night. Experience the longing of Nancy's voice in "Angel Eyes". Be amazed at Nancy's flawless timing in the jazzy "I'm Always Drunk In San Francisco". Many singers have sung it, but nobody can sing "For Once In My Life" any finer than Nancy! Nancy's vocal jazz style is second to none on "You Don't Know Me". Feel the tense passion in "Welcome To My Love". Explore the warmth as Nancy's voice coos "Let's Make The Most Of A Beautiful Thing". These Nancy Wilson vocals are satisfying to the depths of the soul!"

Nancy's Heat

"I've been chasing this CD for a long time....it was an old favorite when albums were the cutting edge in music. No one does it better than Nancy when it comes to belting out deep, heartbreaking lyrics. You can almost see the blue-gray smoke drifting over the bar. I prefer her earlier work such as can be found on this great CD.
