Hmmm....
Reviewer seems to have a preconceived and formulaic logic. Large pinch of salt required I think.

The initial review (or preview) by the "Belfast Telegraph" of Nanci's forthcoming new album, "Ruby's Torch," is not very encouraging, with a rating of only 2 stars out of a possible 5. See the details at: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/lifes ... ory=711624 |

Here is the link to another, more favorable, review of "Ruby's Torch" by Fish Records at: http://www.fishrecords.co.uk/reviews/rubystorch.htm Note that there are one-minute clips of five of the album's songs: If These Walls Could Speak Late Night Grande Hotel Ruby's Arms Bluer than Blue Grapefruit Moon These clips give a greater appreciation of the songs than do the 30-second clips on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com |

Quote: but rather than picking an array of well known songs she's chosen an eclectic selection from a wide range of writers. If you put your preconceptions of sentimental love songs behind you then this disc will really surprise you That's a more open minded review than the first. Nice find, Bruce  Was hoping that some longer samples would appear somewhere. Really like "Bluer Than Blue".
