Customer Reviews:

Debbie we will miss you.......2004-03-04

Debbie Campbell, a wonderful and gifted singer and musician, a gentle soul whose heart reached out to many during her time on planet Earth, passed away Febuary 28, 2004. She will be missed by all of us who were her friends. Her voice was that of an angel, and I am sure that Heaven is proud to have her joining in! This CD is a wonderful addition to any CD collection. Debbie, you will be missed.

A Classic.......2004-02-05

This is an extradordinary collection of familiar favorites that Debbie Campbell performs with such skill and grace that they become classics all over again. Her voice is exceptional and she maximizes its effect with the heart and soul she brings to the lyrics. Each song is memorable, but "The Days of Wine and Roses" is a particular standout, as Campbell seamlessly sings in concert with wonderful backup musicians.

Soulful & swingin' - Debbie makes these standards her own!.......2004-01-16

What amazes me about this marvelous gem of a CD is why some major label hasn't come along and snapped it up. I would have been enthralled simply with Ms. Campbell's captivating renditions of so many of my favorite songs on this album, but she and producer Pat Savage (who apparently is also a MIGHTY sweet guitar player, besides having the exquisite ears and velvet touch of a truly outstanding producer) have put together a collection of material and musicians that rival ANYTHING I've heard on a major label in a long, long time.

I'd have been a happy buyer if only for the way that Ms. Campbell captured the heart-grabbing essence of several eternal classics, such as "As Time Goes By," "Our Love is Here To Stay," "More Than You Know," and Hoagy Carmichael's endearing "The Nearness of You." I'd even have been satisfied if I had only been able to listen to Debbie's blues-tinged, but sophisticatedly sassy interpretations of the up-tempo and Big Band swing numbers such as "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," Duke Ellington's classic "I'm Beginning to See The Light" and the rollicking title song by Shelton Brooks, "Some of These Days". But on top of all that, Ms. Campbell has also captured several, obscure but priceless (read that, "almost naughty") novelty songs such as Julia Lee's "I Didn't Like It The First Time"(The Spinach Song) and "If I Can't Sell It (I'll Keep Sittin' On It Before I Give It Away" - The Chair Song) with the currency of a prime-time CNN news break.

Much of what makes this album such a priceless gem is the fact that Debbie and producer Savage have pulled together a truly amazing group of musicians who give their support to the project in the seemingly effortless way that only truly masterful, veteran musicians can achieve. Listen for example to the incredibly seamless solo transitions between the Savage's guitar work and the exquisite sax phrasing of Will Campbell (who toured for several years with Harry Connick Jr's band) on "Days of Wine and Roses." I tell you, it just doesn't get much better than that!

Like I said at the beginning, why oh why, dear major labels, can't you put out this sort of product? And why haven't you snapped up the incredible talent of Debbie Campbell? I can only hope that we'll be hearing more (MUCH more!) from her somewhere soon.

All the right songs. . ........2003-06-04

I bought this album because I love all the songs on it and it is hard to find them all on one album. Alas, I should have listened to it before ordering. Debbie Campbell's interpretations of these songs is just plain terrible. It's not that she alters them with a jazz interpretation, she just plain changes them, warbling all over the place. Often she rewrites the melody completely, without any understanding of what the song is about. I was hoping for an updated version of songs like 'Some of These Days', a song about a woman pumping herself up and strutting her stuff, but Debbie Campbell is no Sophie Tucker.

You Made Me Love You.......2002-05-11

I have listened to this CD at least 15 times since I first purchased it. I have yet to tire of it. Debbie's voice is incredible and the song selection is great. She puts emotion into the songs that can be heard -- and felt. I can't wait for the next one!
