Rita Coolidge And So Is Love CD

 Another Triumph
Her entire reputation and legacy could rest just upon the vocal power of the original version of "We're All Alone" and be secure. The breathy Julie London quality of her performances here further highlights a monumental talent and a diversity of abilities. Rita, you're fantastic !

 What a backup band!
Rita isn't half bad. Jazz isn't her forte as she sings the correct notes without any inflection or soloing, but there couldn't be a better backup band. Just check out the great rhythm section (Russell Ferrante on piano) with a great producer (Jimmy Haslip-both from Yellowjackets). The band will give you goose-bumps if you are a jazzer.....

 ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST??????
Jumping on the jazz bandwagon seems to be the "in" thing for older rock and pop artists to do, which leaves us, the older fans and consumers, out in the cold. Even though I know she's always liked jazz, I really didn't believe that Rita Coolidge would toss in the towel re. soft rock. So I waited anxiously for the release of this cd, hoping that it would touch me the way Rita Coolidge's music always has. I was wrong. This whole cd is one step above elevator music, and at times, I do like jazz. But these tunes are humdrum and without rhythm, neither of which is Rita's fault. I couldn't believe they actually tried a jazz remake of "We're All Alone." That hurt. The ironic thing is that Rita Coolidge's voice is really better than ever, and her wisdom and sophistication could bring a whole new dimension to the soft rock world. Maybe she'll return someday. Meanwhile, I guess all the record companies think they can make money with these lounge act records. But Rita Coolidge is not too old to rock! Please...........
