When I saw the name "Karen Akers," I remembered her from Grand Hotel about 10 years ago, so I picked up the CD, it did NOT disappoint! She sounds like a cross between Emily Skinner, Ute Lemper, and Audra McDonald. My only qualm was "The Rose," but it was merely because I didn't like the song to begin with, her vocals however brought a lot to it! My favorites are "Stars and the Moon," and "Paris in the Rain." From heart-warming to heart-wrenching, Akers brings something fresh and beautiful and passionate to all her songs. I reccomend this gem to anyone and everyone, you'll be hooked!

un très beau timbre de voix au service de deux superbes chansons extraites de l'album "l'aigle noir" écrit par Barbara, l'aigle, of course et drouot. Merci

Among(many)other talents KA has the ability to get one piano to sound like an orchestra. She is a great singer who makes great choices about arrangements, musicians and songs to sing. I intend to collect everything she's ever recorded. There's nothing she can't sing. I would love to hear her version of "Strange Fruit" and "I dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" (sometimes called "The Joe Hill Song") She could do a great job on both of them. Maybe she could sing "Joe Hill" as a French song. Her singing in languages other than English is one of my favorite things about her.

Karen Akers' voice is soothing and exciting at the same time. The song selection is good, transatlantic, old gold. Good medicine.
