Title: painfully slow moving album
Product review: I have attempted to listen to this album on several occasions with the hope that after getting accustomed to Ms. Shank's voice I would start to enjoy the album. Well....it did not happen. The album's pace is painfully slow, her phrasing is so deliberate that I find myself dosing off waiting for the next word to come out of her mouth. Her voice for me, is just to plain. I do not hear any emotion in it. The upside to the album is that the recording is outstanding. It however does not overcome the bordom that comes over me while listening. I have heard very "live like" recordings of birds chirping but it does not do much for me either.I have three other mapleshade recordings, Larry Willis, Walter Booker and Sunny Sumter. All three are outstanding. You may want to give these a listen before trying out Ms. Shank.
