I have known Diane and her husband
Frank for some years. They run Som
Brasiliero and it still remains one of my
favorite Brazilian groups. They had
talked to me when they were recording
this CD and when they were trying to
get guest musicians. Well here it is
and it was worth the wait. The material
is a mix of pop and r&b but given that
jazzy feel that makes every track
sound like it was written for Diane.
Guest musicians include Kirk Whalum,
Cole Burgess, Houston Person,
Wycliffe Gordon, Rod McGaha, Mark
Douthit and Anthony LaMarchina. The
Rascals' Felix Cavaliere joins her for
duet on "Groovin'" and also weighs in
with B3. Diane not only had a terrific
voice but also plays nifty keyboards.
Diane shows that though Nashville is
Music City, it isn't all Country. Love
it!!!!

This is like going back to my folk club
days in the 60's and listening to
Stefan Grossman, Mike Cooper and
Mississippi Fred McDowell. Steve is a
fabulous guitarist and this is a CD that
is going to live in my car for the
foreseeable future. Steve covers
material by Robert Johnson, Mance
Lipscomb, Rev. Robert Wilkins, Muddy
Waters and Bo Carter among others
and he breathes new life into every
cut. This is pure magic.

Much as I have said with Steve Howell
repeat for David Egan with the
exception that David plays piano and
all the songs are original. At times
David reminds me of Fats Domino and
then other times he sounds like Van
Morrison. However, this is also a
keeper and just listen for that
trombone played by Chris Belleau. The
CD was recorded In Lafayette,
Louisiana and Nashville. Again, I have
to say...this is pure magic.
