I love Lambeth's first album, 'Midnight Blue,' also. This one if anything is even better. Her vocals are more assured and prettier (if too the voice is forward a bit in the mix). Accompaniment is still great though as on the first one. She's able to breathe new life into chestnuts like "My Blue Heaven," "With a Song in My Heart," "Blue Room," "Let's Misbehave" & others-- no mean feat. And the rarer songs here like the fun "I Wish I Were Twins," "Dream Man" or Mercer rarity "If you Were Mine" are terrific. Like Barbara Rosene, she takes the best of the '20's/'30's style of singing and subtly updates it without gimmickry, while still respectful of the material/source, & earlier singers. There're of course more 'emotional/emoting' approaches, but Lambeth is one of the best of a small coterie of contemporary singers who let the material speak for itself and yet swing effectively without histrionics.

Dawn played in person with her band for my wedding. She is an awesome performer both on stage and on cd.....if you haven't heard this gal, you're missing out!!
