SALLY DOHERTY QUARTET - 'Second Time Around' CD (Tiger Records)
This album from Sally Doherty (ex-Sieben) features an inspired choice of material, an excellent band and faultless intonation and taste from Sally herself, sounding equally at home in Portuguese, Spanish and English. All the tracks are superbly arranged and produced and the sound quality is exceptional. The singing is not only technically accomplished, but very beautiful, and Sally manages to make these songs her own. Sally's exquisite voice is mostly backed by a piano trio with guest musicians on Spanish guitar and cello as well as violin and string orchestra on the final dramatic track.
