Press comments

blue rhythm Nr. 5 / 97: "..was dabei herauskommt, ist R&B vom Feinsten. Satte Arrangements, gefühlvolle Soli und eine Stimme, die vergessen läßt, daß Ruth Brown eigentlich schon lange die Grenze zur Großmutter über- schritten hat. Mit dieser geschmack- und gefühlvollen Scheibe beweist eine große alte Dame des Showbiz, wie gut R&B sein kann."
