I purchased this album after hearing the title cut just once on the local jazz station here in Denver, it was that good. Ms. Bennett's voice is like cool silk, i.e., it feels good, but gets you all heated up. When she says "I'll be your wife" on the title track, you want her to be saying it to you. Her best songs on this album are the ones she wrote herself, particularly "Drifting" (the first few chords of the song are electric) and the title track, but "Feels Like a Heartbreak" and "You Never Saw Me Dance" are great cuts as well. The lyrics of these songs seem simple but are never trivial, and are always original. E.g., "Walk through life, suffer fools, handed junk, but fought for the jewels..." Buy the CD already, what are you waiting for?

"Less is More" is a promise fulfilled. I especially liked Chris's sensitive treatment of "Dindi" . . . she has a remarkable voice and ear for both her originals and covers! I highly recommend this CD!

Jazz Times gave this C.D. a rave review, and Bird compared Chris Bennett to Morgana King. Sultry vocals, beautiful, sparse arrangements. Dindi with Wayne Johnson and Bobbye Hall is a classic. Beautiful C.D.!!

Chris Bennett has finally recorded the C.D. her fans from the Munich Machine days have been waiting for. Beautiful originals and standards utilizing the musical talents of Wayne Johnson, Eric Doney, and Bobbye Hall. The best C.D. I've heard all year! Romantic!
