5.0 out of 5 stars "Inspired, Indeed!", April 6, 2005

"What a joy this record is! Mary Haskell can do it all... she'll soothe your senses, delicately negotiating a Sinatra arrangement on one track and then make you jump out of your seat like you've just got religion on the next. This girl can take you to church and I mean "CHURCH!" From Nelson Riddle to Muscle Shoals, these beautiful arrangements perfectly compliment an amazing singer whose deep contralto voice will surprise you. The sheer depth of emotion she can evoke with that voice is stirring, but then she'll lift you to the heavens like a sweet songbird angel the next. Yet, the album remains very personal... it feels like she's singing right to you, you're the only one in the room. Any one lucky enough to catch her at the Inauguration toe to toe with Ray Charles could see she's got "it." "All My Tomorrows" is perfection. Just wonderful! "Inspired", indeed!"

A very nice CD from a excellent singer. The songs are inspirational and uplifting. My favorite is "I Won't Last a Day Without You". Mary has the vocal talent and the stage presence to go along way. The "Sinatra" style is a winner among many upscale audiences. This CD is a good one and I treasure it in my collection of music.

INSPIRING is the word! Mary Haskell's CD captures the full essence of the word `inspiring' as she sings in her beautifully pure voice songs well-known and new. Mary projects deep emotion with each song and gives the impression she is personally present with the listener. Furthermore, the varying types of orchestration bring an element of surprise and complement the mood of each song. She is an amazing singer who has produced a CD that is beautiful and uplifting. I love it and recommend it highly!
