"Audrey (pronounced Audraay) Morris is a Chicago treasure and legend, a peerless vocalist and pianist who is intimate, sensitive, reflective, witty and wise. Her beautiful voice and phrasing are truly memorable and she has wondrous taste in songs. Every album she's done has been remarkable and this is a nice introduction."

This is one super singer who has made another fine album.

"Audrey Morris is a unique, honest singer who understands and communicates lyrics in a voice that conjures up a smoke-filled cocktail lounge in the wee small hours of the morning. This tribute to some of the great singer/pianist songwriters is one which you will return to many, many times. Several of the songs will be new to the average listener, but it won't take long for Audrey to make you feel like each one should be a major standard. When she sings of "Blues for Breakfast," you know just what that state is like. She makes "When October Comes," a trunk lyric by Johnny Mercer set musically by Barry Manilow, into a first rate expression of longing. Each track is a gem unto itself. If you love jazz/pop vocalizing, you will surely love this album. By the way, you should pledge to yourself that you will buy any album by Audrey Morris that you can find."
