Not sure what Miki's personal situation is, because in recent years, Miki would release an album and then disappear for years at a time -- most recently taking 5 years between her last, lackluster Peak album, "Three Wishes" and this one. However, this more than makes up for the wait! Miki is in fine voice, and the song selections are stellar. There are several surprises, including soulful, sultry readings of the Captain & Tennille's "Do That To Me One More Time", Boz Scaggs' "Lowdown", and the title tune. However, out of the 10 songs, there isn't a bad song in the bunch. The only complaint I have is that there could have been a few more songs included. But that's a minor quibble, and hopefully there will be a Volume 2 without having to wait another 5 years!

Miki Howard is a rare artist and captured in this tremendous set at the peak of her amazing vocal magnificence and deeply passionate skilled way of emoting like nobody else around...every song is taken to a new dimension and will give complete pleasure to anyone who enjoys a great voice!!! For anyone who has enjoyed these classics over the years, do not miss this stunning and beautifully arranged collection of classics...Miki is riveting and does each standard as they have never been done before and you will fall in love with each one of these classics all over again and with the incredibly talented Miki Howard who is THE voice of her generation!!! Bravo Miki and thank you for this wondrous musical treat...it is the finest and "Which Way Is Up" being the wild funky jam that it is should be released as a single and should go all the way to the top and hopefully Miki will win a much deserved "Grammy Award" this time!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Really Good To Hear Miki :), September 20, 2006

I jsut purchased this CD and I am thinking that Miki is sounding really good!! Her song selection is good as well. the only thing I will say is that I am looking for new/original music from Miki Howard. Her style is soooo unique that when she covers a song, it ultimately sounds different. She makes it her own. But, I would love to here her sing orignal music like "Baby, Be Mine" or "Not Like You Do" (with Norman Brown) etc.

If you like Miki howard (like I do) and you don't mind artists covering music (doing remakes) then this is the CD for you!!!

Buy it!!

PS. She does a bang up job on " Inseparable" and "Misty Blue" ....AWESOME!!!!
