I have to admit that when I am asked to review a vocalist doing a program of predominantly new material, I  approach it with a bit of trepidation. What will it sound like? Will I understand the words? Will I know the titles? Will the songs resonate with me? My trepidation disappeared shortly after Rita Wilson took the Café Carlyle stage. Her voice, beauty, humor, engaging personality, and excellent enunciation made for a delightful evening.

Although country-rock is not my genre of choice, I found myself tapping my fingers to the beat. Wilson said that, as a young girl, she listened to all genres of popular music, but liked country music best, because it told the best stories.

” The introspective “Look How Far We’ve Come” is about a couple almost breaking up, but ending by staying together.

Her closer, “Throw Me a Party,” explains what to tell friends and family to do after the narrator has passed away. Wilson’s enunciation is perfect, which makes each story have an impact, especially with the energy she brings.
