Album Notes

A great Torch Album. A very individual voice, great choices, good storyteller, great diction and great pipes – can’t beat that combination!
- Broadway and cabaret legend Julie Wilson

His name is Perry Wood and he’s an emotional singer: (his heart is) right there on his sleeve. Most of the renditions are imbued with lots of passion and an extra serving of reflection. The stoic, macho card is not in his deck. He tends to ….dramatic readings, painstakingly slowly wringing out a lot from each word of some lines. It works…it’s a choice that speaks perhaps of his penchant for crawling inside the lyric and unraveling step by step. He has many attractive tones in his voice, control and strength…refreshing energy and dynamic singing on “The Last Night of the World” (Miss Saigon) and the peppy Nat King Cole hit “Orange Colored Sky”. I respect and enjoy the tender laments that dominate the album and the willingness to go for honest, deeply felt sensitivities. The album’s title come from a line in the lyric of “Here’s to Life”, a song tailor-made for Perry’s preference for looking back and forward with the utmost sincerity. This is a good late-night, rainy-night, lonely night album. With all the heartfelt singing and memory embraces from “The Hungry Years” to “When October Goes”; it might even keep your winters warm

Perry Wood has a smooth and polished voice…that should rocket him to the moon, The next time you see his name – Run, don’t walk. His choice of songs is pure romance. And one might think they were hearing Frank Sinatra in the early days.
