Review: Eileen Farrell was in a class all her own. She was the first great opera diva to cross over into Pop and do it with an incredible ease. Beautiful operatic voice and honey smooth pop voice. "Torch Songs", mostly contains songs of lost love, regret and "what might have been", always with an emphasis on the blues. Once again, here's Farrell sounding much like she had thirty years before. Still intimate, still expressive, still tender and perhaps a little wiser while she tells you her stories in song. Incredible.
Personnel: Eileen Farrell (vocals); Greg Hyslop (guitar); Phil Thompson (flute, saxophone); Joe Wilder (trumpet, flugelhorn); Loonis McGlohon (piano); Jim Stack (vibraphone); Bill Stowe (drums).
