Appealingly literate lyrics, yet they manage to be diverse.
Catherine Russell: A Valentine’s Day Show
Her voice shifts from flannel to shantung (slubbed silk) to shiny satin.
Cynthia Clarey: Bridge Over Muddied Waters
Cynthia Clarey’s regal presence and individual likeability were as compelling as her phrasing, investment, and, of course, her message.
Mary Foster Conklin: These Precious Days
Mary Foster Conklin has a voice that unfurls like a wide roll of satin ribbon.

This recording is definitely celebratory.

Tracye Eileen’s confident swing, Chicago-inflected pronunciation, and engaging attitude are appealing.
