Definitely, tey are in the groove!

Apple and Britt have a winning combination. Rhonda Apple has great vocals, which have only gotten better over time (I have heard them, ever since they began, several years ago.). She can be jazzy, boppy, driving, sultry -- you name it; she can do it. And Dale Britt, on the piano and electric piano, with drum rhythm with it, is an outstanding keyboardist. He has really never had a "day job" having played piano and electric piano for his livelihood, which is hard to do, when you live in a small geographic area as he does. Although he lives in a small geogeographic area, he is widely known as a keyboardist extaordinaire, in his area and for far distances outside of it.
The album "Groovin" is great. It, like Apple and Britt, has a wide variety of songs, from smooth, easy-listening to more upbeat songs. "Peel Me a Grape" is one of my personal favorites, on this album.
Apple and Britt perform at Phillips-by-the-Sea, in Ocean City, a lot, during the season, but they also do other gigs, elsewhere, as well - several of them are on an ongoing basis. They were invited and played at the famous Blues Alley, in Washington, D.C., for example, which shows how good they are. I encourage you to buy this album, whether it's your first or whether you have some of their other ones. You won't be disappointed, with their "groovin."

Fantastic CD, perfect for easy listening

This CD was everything I expected. The songs were easy listening selections, great for relaxing after work. I felt like I was in a lounge listening to the real performers. I would definitely recommend it to any one who enjoys smoky lounge music.
