Cheryl Barnes “Listen to This”
The title track, “Listen To This”, has a swinging band backing the
vocalist. This song was written by the leaders’ husband, Phillip
Cabasso. The pace slows down with ”I Wish You Love”, a song I
remember from the 1960’s featuring Gloria Lynn, but Cheryl makes
this one her own. Joni Mitchell’s composition, “Come In From The
Cold”, gives a fresh perspective of the songs’ meaning; this is the
longest selection on the project, and it’s oh so soulful. “What’s On
Your Mind” has Cheryl Barnes having a good time attempting to
discover what her man is thinking. Bassist Rickey Minor, leader of
the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, fits in nicely with the band.
“Baby’s Got Some Awful Kind Of Blues” has Ms. Barnes pouring her
heart out as she interprets the lyrics of this moving song. Another
selection from this recording that takes me
away is “What’s Fair In Love”.
Noland Shaheed plays some serious
trumpet alongside the vocalist.
