Irresistable

"You gotta love Randy Crawford. She is a most unique and soulful vocalist. I think her version of "Give Me the Night (chill night mix)" is alone worth the price of the CD. That tune has been featured on smooth jazz radio. I even heard it recently in a cafe in St. Bart's. Her cover of "Forget Me Nots" is also fun to listen to. But, the real standout gem is her version of J.J. Cale's "Cajun Moon." This is a great song to begin with but, with Randy at the helm, it is simply irresistable."
A Cd of Cover Songs!

"In a market that is swamped with 'cover cd's' this is one of those that stand out! Randy Crawford delivers on this set! This is one of my favorite cd's by her!
She picked songs that haven't been overdone or haven't been remade at all and made them her own, the only misstep is 'Purple Rain' it's not bad but there wasn't anything Randy could bring to this song...
Another great thing about this cd is the fact that REAL musicians are used!! which makes this cd even more enjoyable! Well done Randy!!"
Set the mood with Randy Crawford...

"Randy Crawford is a seasoned veteran and shows great promise through every recording she lends her voice to. With a mix of smooth jazz and soulful r&b vocals, Randy brings new life to modern classics. Naked and True is a superb collection of cover songs.
"Give Me the Night" is the standout track and received multi-format success at AC, jazz and r&b radio outlets. Randy Crawford transforms this George Benson classic into a song all her own. Also included on the CD is a remix of this song.
My favorite track on Naked and True is "Cajun Moon." Randy turns this J.J. Cale song into a smooth lament. Her vocals are mesmerizing and filled with emotion. She inspires fans to enjoy the journey that each track brings.
Also included are splendid reworkings of Prince's "Purple Rain," Joyce Sim's "Come into My Life," Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots," and Simply Red's "Holding Back the Years."
If you are looking for the perfect CD to set the mood for a romantic evening, look no futher. Naked and True is the CD for you."
