Imagine an oceanside bar with the sound of glasses and murmur in the background. A piano under a solitary blue spotlight and an old RCA ribbon microphone in front of a classy-looking femme fatale. Get the picture? Well, this is what comes to mind when you listen to Butler's new CD. Not as pristine as Diane Krall but as bluesy as Billie H. Three cuts have string accompaniment which turns out to be a BIG plus! Thumbs up to producer Bruce Barth! MaxJazz has a way to release excellent CD's one after the other! This CD, Butler's second for MaxJazz, should receive some nominations in next year's awards! Highly recommended!

I bought Laverne Butler's "Foolish Thing To Do" two years ago. From then on I've listened to the CD intermittently, and I've never gotten tired it. Her voice is so sincere and rich in tone. I highly recommend this album!
