Negative Positive
Title: Lovely debut that should be available in the US too!
Review: I discovered Jane McDonald purely by accident, and was immediately enthralled. I had no preconceived notions (didn't know who she was), so I could simply enjoy her heartfelt singing. There are many high points to this album, notably her sensitive reading of "The Twelth of Never" -- never heard such a simple and lovely rendition of this song -- as well, as "Have I Told You Lately." The low points are primarily "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman," mostly due to the copycat backup and background vocals, and "Downtown," which sounds uninspired. I know this is Jane's debut, and what else I've heard of her I quite like. Let's hope that her recordings get distributed here in the US -- why keep her voice and talent across the Atlantic (across `the pond'?).
Is the review positive or negative?
