Led by Deanna Lynn (Campbell) - formerly the lead singer and main songwriter for the popular college band Violet Strange - the sensual sound remains. Even more so, now that she is backed by some of the best jazz players around -- typically Ron Brendle and Chris Garges. The lyrics are strikingly poetic -- sometimes dark -- and are presented in a soft seductive way.

The vocals are intricate and emotional -- running the gamut from vulnerable to resigned. Live shows are much more fun than one might expect based on the somber tone of the CD. This is due mostly to Lynn's sharp wit and ease with interacting with her audience.
