REVIEWS

This was a great CD to allow the full appreciation for Lydia Gray
author: Donald G. Jones
This was a great CD, that allowed us to listen to Lydia Gray's full range of skills. That light, soft music harks back to earlier days, but the best part is to listen to someone who sings so you can hear every word!
