3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable if not great, May 19, 2001

I bought this album several years after "Somewhere Down The Road", knowing well that it was an earlier recording and was a jazz effort and not pop; still, while it has an intimate feel and is an enjoyable listening experience (not far removed in style from "Talk Memphis To Me", a much more successful collection) - its title track is infectious and playful - Cybill's voice isn't quite a match for the musicians, who occasionally overwhelm her, though the spirit is certainly there. Too, once in a while she hits some notes (the final cut, "A Foggy Day", and its last notes, leap to mind) that are, at best, flat; at worst, uncomfortable. The problem is that, at the time, her voice simply hadn't matured enough for the material. Still, it's a worthwhile collection and certainly isn't an embarassment, which is more than could be said for her first, "Cybill Does It...To Cole Porter", produced and featuring vocals by then-lover, director Peter Bodgdanovich. My advice: buy "Somewhere Down The Road" or "Talk Memphis To Me" or the "Cybill" soundtrack and then purchase this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fill up the bathtub with Mazola oil!, March 23, 2000

Mizz Shepherds warm vibrato made my spine tingle almost as muchas the cold February night. mmm smores. It all started when Iplopped in the CD and "Ain't Misbehavin'" came on and it totally kicked the trip into high gear. Time stood still with Cybill, hovering above the good ol' VW bus. Moonlighting was my favorite musical of the 80's, I do believe it was a conspiracy to cancel it.

Nothing makes me feel summer in my vanes like the hit title track "Vanilla." Especially when she lists off all of the ice cream flavors and her silly predicament with the ice cream man. I have found that a particular note in the song "Vanilla" contains one of the single most unsustained musical notes ever performed by a television actress/diva performer in the history.

'nuff said........go by it now!

Heard Ms. Shepherd beltout most of these songs in 1979 in a small Greenwich Village night spot! She had the audience in the palm of her hand as she sang in an evening gown and SNEAKERS! Get lost in "Vanilla"! A very seductive and classy CD!
