Release.Info :
Since Robin McKelle╞s intent was to move away from the big-band swing that
defined her first two albums and closer to a classic R&B groove, it would seem a
reasonable assumption that the title track is a cover of Ray Charles╞
career-igniting 1953 hit. Actually, McKelle╞s nod to Charles comes later in the
album, with a hip-twitching, brass-and-organ-fueled ⌠Lonely Avenue.÷ This ⌠Mess
Around,÷ one of four McKelle originals included among the 11 tracks, is a
bluesy, midtempo swinger about alleged infidelity. The boisterous brass and
thumping organ are either muted or altogether eliminated on the other McKelle
compositions, an impressively wide-ranging trio with the achingly meditative,
post-9/11 ⌠Angel÷ offset by the sly, slinky ⌠Until the Day I Die÷ and
restoratively romantic ⌠Since I Looked in Your Eyes.÷
The balance of the album further substantiates both McKelle╞s intrinsic comfort
with a retro vibe and her marvelous dexterity. She transforms Leonard Cohen╞s
⌠Everybody Knows÷ into a spicy, splashing soul gumbo, teams with a rollicking
Houston Person to lift ⌠Never Make a Move Too Soon÷ off its hinges, and shapes a
⌠Cry Me a River÷ that is equal parts black-silk sexiness and revenge-tinted
black-heartedness. Best, though, is a galloping ⌠Eleanor Rigby÷ that suggests a
heavily caffeinated union of Dusty Springfield and Archie Bell.
