Diana Krall, Wallflower

Has anyone heard this new recording? I picked up the CD today and just got through listing to it. I'm normally not a fan of covers of hits but, she and her team knocked this one out of the park for me. You're not going to hear her killer piano chops, or bass, drums, guitar or whatever else instruments chops from the musician.. this album is more about the songs. The recording is really good, too.. on my system, anyway. Looking forward to hearing some thoughts and comments on this recording. Opinions from Negative Nancy's and Debbie downers are always entertaining, too. It's all subjective.

I listened to the album and heard the first track and thought, 'wow, not bad at all'. Then I heard 8 or 9 more tracks where she didnt even try to sing. Ouch. Yep... Diana makes my skin Krall.

Cerrot, I hear that ,compare and contrast to Sophie Millman,
a young Diva who, like Krall, doesn't have all that great of a voice, but who stuns you on every song by giving it ALL she has.

Sophie draws you in. Diana just does her thing.

Both tend to have recordings with excellent sound quality fwiw.

You guys have any highly recommended albums for Sophie Millman and Gaby Moreno? Would like to hear them, but on a good start. Female vocals are my first choice.
BTW, I do like to listen to Diana Krall, though I do find that she can get monotonous.
