(4 out of 5 stars)

"With her smooth vocal tones and jazz underpinnings, McKinley reaches some great hieghts on Big Top Shop Talk. Her songs are inviting and fresh. While her mellow natured songs and clever guitar riffs beckon you to listen again and again, it really is the wit of the lyrics that shine through and make this CD a singable delight.Her treatment of the Prince classic "When doves cry" proves that she has the depth to create something fresh and new. For good measure, she retools a couple of her own songs from her previous self-titled release and throws in 7 new songs to boot!It's these new arrangements of her older songs I find so hard to swallow. If you like this album and are really seeking a treat, look for her first release "McKinley". I promise the violin and cellos will sweep you off your feet!"

Good album!

"I saw her in concert in Keizer & she is so very talented. Her version of "When Doves Cry" is incredible. She comes across sounding real & honest."
