Sing It!

Description: Sing It! [Audio CD] Marcia Ball; Tracy Nelson and Irma Thomas Product Overview Format: Sing It! Product description Marcia Ball, Irma Thomas, Tracy Nelson - Sing It! - CD
Why settle for one great female vocalist when you can get three,
especially when they're stylish soul diva Irma Thomas, Tracy "Mother Earth"
Nelson, and swamp rocker (and roller) Marcia Ball. The talented trio take the
Sing It! title seriously, belting all hues of blues with satisfying sass and
sincerity. Backed by a fine and funky band of Memphis-soul stalwarts and New
Orleans session stars, the ladies shine both individually and as a team.
Thomas, the longtime "Soul Queen of New Orleans," struts her stuff on the
Bobby "Blue" Bland classic "Yield Not to Temptation," while Ball puts some
patented bayou boogie, powered by her slinky piano lines, into her spotlight
songs. Nelson repeatedly stops the show with her enormous, wraparound voice,
transforming tunes like "In Tears" from simple country-flavored ballads into
cathartic emotional experiences. But it's the combined voices that makes the
session so special, and the title track, a soulfully scintillating second-line
anthem, is the most enjoyable example of the vocal virtuosity of these women.
It's a quintessential New Orleans celebration of singing, well worth the
purchase price by itself, and it, like the entire album, also serves as an
excellent sampler of the multiple talents of the superb song stylists
involved. --Michael Point P.when('A').execute(function(A) {

...[a] funky, feisty trio ... of sassy rhythm and leavening humor. Backed by a
crack band of New Orleans and Memphis musicians, the three R&B stars assembled
for this album are a supergroup unto themselves. -- People Combining the
talents of three of the leading female blues-based vocalists ... must have
seemed an inspired idea.... Much of the time the concept works, especially
when their repressible triumvirate trade vocal leads ... or engage in spotless
harmonies.... Each singer receives her share of solo space.... But when Tracy
Nelson steps up to the spotlight, the wheels nearly fly off. -- Living Blues
