[progmom]

33. well right now i am listening to Dionne Warwick "Anyone Who Had A Heart"

But my very favorite new CD is this one:



Here's a snippet from the allmusic.com review:

" While Wilson has certainly not lost any of her singular talent for interpreting the Chicago blues through the lens of jazz and pop , she has expanded her palette once more by creating an entirely new bag from which we might hear pop, through the age-old hypnotic, sensual, incantory veil of the blues. "

[Hugin]

35. Hey, cool! I'll check it out...

:thumbsup:

Thanks! :7

[speedoo]

31. The Band "When I Paint My Masterpiece"
