Editorial Reviews
Jim Santella
Deep and heartfelt, Lois Dawsons delivery draws on the blues, Gospel, and jazz to offer ballads that contain dramatic tales of life and love. Her flexible voice, in the lower alto range, enables Dawson to remain clear and accurate while expressing with a full range of emotions. Its difficult to guess an artists main influences, but the vocal presentation on Sunrise combines Sarah Vaughans round sound, Betty Carters imaginative pitch shaping, and Nnenna Freelons dramatic storytelling approach. A talented songwriter as well, Dawson wrote or co-wrote all of the pieces for this session. The blues aura of "Will We Ever Learn," the swinging "Run Away with Me," the jazz tracks "No Goodbyes," "Incantations" and "Peace Offering," and the searing ballad "Desire" combine in one performance to certify the singer/songwriters versatility. Like a breath of fresh air, Dawsons vocals mark her as one artist deserving wider recognition because of her superb talents. Highly Recommended.
