Awsome! Jenn Butlers vocals are so clear and dead on pitch that you end up listening over and over again, especially on "I'll be waiting". Sadly I understand that she is no longer with the band so this is a rare chance to listen to this outstanding talent. I once heard that Karen Carpenter was always dead on pitch and you never heard her miss a note. I imagine that Jenn has that same gift. The horns sound fantastic bringing back memories of the sound of Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago. The more I listen, the more I like! You just can't find this stuff anymore
