A rare find, recorded in 1994 in Queens, NY, incredible ensemble of players accompany Sara's voice and 4 string guitar on this live to disc recording. Many special moments and original takes of some of her best-known songs and vocal techniques.This CD is a must for the Sara K. collection ~ produced by Joel Diamond.

"...wonderful vocals, sparse backings and enough atmosphere to justify a film of the album..." - Hi-Fi News & Record Review

"...what you want is something peaceful, yet emotionally invigorating. What you want is the latest from Sara K." - The Audio Adventure

"The Santa Fe singer/songwriter sends out lyrical tendrils that attach themselves to the listener so an exchange of emotions can take place..." - CD Review

"...at once romantic and warm, as well as lyrically chilling and stark. As always, her "sound" is wholly her own - a distinctly hushed and warm tone fingering a flamenco guitar strung with low end strings. File Sara K. under vocal folk jazz with panache." - Alex Boyd, Leak, Winter/Spring

author: Robert Hiers
Tends toward jazz/folk with the exception of If I Could Sing Your Blues, which should become a standard.
