Phenominal!
author: Shawn Ryan
From the first moment, this CD captured my ear...as Shaynee joins the band on the first track "My love must be a kind of blind love, I can't see anyone but you.." it is definate that I would only have eyes (or ears in this case) for Ms. Rainblot. Killer arrangements and phenominal vocal colorings make this album one of the new "must owns!" for every music enthusiast. With the laid back feeling of Diana Krall and the moxy of Bette Midler, Shaynee Rainbolt is here to stay!

SHAYNEE RAINBOLT AT HOME 33 Jazz Records:
She has vocal command, a distinctive tone with an intimacy and depth of meaning. It doesn't just stop there. For a jazz singer it's very much interpretation to go along lyricism. Shaynee Rainbolt is all the above, with a very easy going style and the irony jumps out with her version “In These Shoes,” (Carmen Miranda should' ve had such a good day.) One of those days you never get tired of, especially with guitarist Gene Bertoncini on “Moonglow.”
She has that post Yiddish vaudevillian angle with “Mink Schmink.” They love ya in Brooklyn, darling!
Onto Frishberg's “Blizzard Of Lies” and you get more of a composite Rainbolt confunction. This CD provides you with the kind of show that Shaynee does live, from the Plaza on Park Avenue to Yoshi's in Jack London Square. She'll work both rooms with an energetic frenzy.
PS: The Plaza hasn't gone karaoke?
A myth Shaynee Rainbolt will diffuse with a superb performance in a sing along that no silly machine will duplicate like this lady can with ”Stuff Like That There, “ in a New York minute!
