Album Description

Sweet-spirited and gently eclectic as you'd expect...Wilson manages to keep things both interesting and fun. The fact that her voice remains as powerful and nuanced as ever doesn't hurt, either," says Rick Anderson of AMG. The album was also positively reviewed in Billboard (where it charted at #5) by Melinda Newman who commented that "The party to attend this year is at Wilson's house...just a collection of traditional tunes delivered with beautiful understatement by Wilson.
