A Diamond in the Rough!!, November 21, 2005
This review is from: When the Sun Comes Out (Audio CD)
Minnesota native Amy Banks is a songstress in the mold of Nancy Wilson. When she's not singing, she's a home design consultant for a furnishing company as well as a co-host of the syndicated television show, "Design Invasion". The first thing I'd like to point out is about her voice. Her vocal variety is smooth and vibrant. She's not overpowering, but she can be very easy to listen to. Her third CD release is a throwback to the days of the early 60's jazz clubs, mixing American standards and 70's pop tunes. Along with her backup band, they bring together the right formula for a successful recording. I especially enjoyed her rendition of the Doobie Brothers hit, "I Keeps You Runnin'" with a sound right out of Miles Davis' classic "All Blues". I love this CD. Now I'm curious to see her on TV. She's a diamond in the rough!
