Diana Krall does it again
Once more Diana Krall has done it again with her latest release The Girl In The Other Room. My favorite is Almost Blue with Temptation also one I liked very much. The musical interludes add so much to the album. Diana Krall can play the piano just as well as she sings. Some people on Amazon have criticized this album but to me it is as good as her Grammy Award winning When I Look In Your Eyes album. When I think easy listening music Diana Krall is the first one that comes to mind.
Her husband Elvis Costello helped her on the album which some reviewers on Amazon didn't think was a good thing. The most up tempo cut on the album is Love Me Like A Man....this would have been good even without vocals....the musicians really are showcased on this one. Since I like the songs from the American songbook I liked her The Look Of Love album the very best. It has to be the most soothing music I have ever heard and great for insomniacs because they will be dozing off from the mellow sounds of her singing and playing the piano. This album was released Sept.18,2001 just one week exactly after the 9-11 tragedy. It came out at a time when people really needed that kind of music to get away for 30 minutes into a world away from stress of the day's news. When she sang Cry Me A River on the Look of Love album I knew she is a singer we will be hearing from for the next 20 or 30 years.
