A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd

This album is absolutely lovely-- the amazingly expressive readings from the book that inspired it, and the folksy songs that retell the tales in a brand-new way are lovely, and the lyrics are delightfully clever. Solidly an all-time favorite! kiritanpo
