Title: They should be called "The Julia Yates Group"...
Review: ...because she virtually carry's this almost flawless performance. I say almost because the guitar player sounds a bit amateurish which is the main reason why I gave this CD a 4 star rating.I could listen to Julia Yates' voice all day long. She has that lilting slightly off key sound in her voice that is innocent and beguiling much in the style of Astrud Gilberto. She makes every one of these songs sound like a gem.Tim Drackert's soloing is quite a bit stiff and unimaginative. He seems to be searching for the notes instead of complementing the melody. Other than that I do have to hand it to his studio recording skills which are top shelf. The audio quality of this CD is near perfect and would be a fine addition to any audiophile's collection.Other than my gripes about Tim's playing, this is a great sounding CD and I highly recommend it.
