5 Star review from Stereophile: Patricia Barber is more than a poet, more than a singer, more than a songwriter. None of these categories alone can do justice to the fullness of her artistic presentation. Her strikingly thoughtful and clever lyrics seem naked on the page. She twists each syllable rhythmically, attaching subtle shades of melodic variation in a voice that often whispers but never shouts. Her audacious approach to melody and song structure should place her in rare company as a jazz singer, yet this work begs to be seen more in the context of crossover masters from Tony Bennett to Joni Mitchell.
And that's just the beginning of the review! Jerry np: Eva Cassidy - Imagine
