The selections on this album span 70 years of popular song, because the more Susannah felt she knows about singers and songs, the more she adores the women who started it all: the great Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith, and the mother of all modern popular singing, Ethel Waters. She also feels a great affinity for Brazilian songs, the sound of the language and the sadness and seriousness of the lyrics, and they too are included here.

For this Concord release, singer Susannah McCorkle alternates vintage standards and obscurities with some more recent songs such as “The Waters Of March,” and Dave Frishberg’s “Quality Time,” and Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years.” The bread and butter is still the older tunes and among the highlights are “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “My Sweetie Went Away,” “Hit The Road To Dreamland” and a remake of “The People That You Never Get To Love.” McCorkle is joined by four horns (including trumpeter Randy Sandke and Ken Peplowski on tenor and clarinet) plus a rhythm section led by her pianist Allen Farnham who also serves as her musical director. A fine all-round showcase for the talented singer.
