<"b00005o6eg4999"> Album Description
Produced by Grammy Nominated Linda Tillery, this self- released debut is a meticulously crafted blend of contemporary blues, light jazz, and pop. Gwen Avery has a sensual voice, sultry and expressive. Like the great blues singers, Avery has a voice that slips seamlessly from sassy to seductive and right on to spiritual. The opening track,"Sugar Mama 2k showcases Avery's style. The song opens with slow jazz, then jumps into an appealing pop-standard style song with lively sax and piano. Her rendition of "The Thrill is Gone" masterfully evokes the woundedness and bitter determination that suffused B.B.Kings hit 1970 version. "Marianne" with its steel drums and inviting Caribbean flavor, moves the dancer with an irresistable beat, and Cry No More moves that listener to the deepest essence of anguish and joy.Her gospel tinged "I'm On My Way" rocks out with full on 50's style sax. Her disarming interpretation of the folk classic"Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen takes the song! to another place. She gives Precious Lord a gospel favorite, a new immediacy and freshness.
