Jenni Muldaur - Dearest Darlin [CD]

Jenni Muldaur's career to date has mostly been spent as a backing singer, offering vocal contributions on any number of high profile releases from Eric Clapton, John Cale, and Steely Dan. Right now she is touring with the enigmatic David Byrne, following on from a recent tour with Lou Reed. Listening to her new solo project, “Dearest Darlin’”, recorded and mastered in NY, it’s understandable why her voice is in such demand. She has that strong, confident, yet soulful style reminiscent of fifties swingers Brenda Lee and Connie Francis, with a little Aretha thrown in. That’s not to say she couldn’t give her contempararies such as Duffy and Winehouse a run for their money. Tracks: I've Got A Feelin' / You're Breaking Me Up / Just Ain't No Love / I'd Rather Live Like A Hermit / Blame It On The World / Dearest Darlin' / Hopali / Lost Someone / Just Hiss Me Once / You've Got Me Uptight / There's Another Place That I Can't Go / Comatose Town
