Album Notes

"Sara K. can deliver a song with smoky soul. This is the jazz chanteuse's third album with Chesky Records - the 'high-res' wizards of the music biz...She wrote most of the songs on the record, with the exception of Greg Allman's 'Whipping Post,' which she beats into a buttery gem with sultry vocals and a classy arrangement." - Yoga Journal, June 1996

"Sara K's third for Freres Chesky is a pisser...raunchy-driven crowd-rouser... Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' is Sara K's best work to date,...There's not a dud on the disc...the Chesky sound mates well with this disc, and the overall result is a wonderful way to end the day." - Alan Taffel, Audio Adventure, June 1996

"Dallas native Sara K. has the type of voice that can effortlessly be described. Her angelic range is as impressive as her third release for the Chesky Records label, Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'. Influenced by an uncommon list of performers from the Temptations to Joni Mitchell, Sara has delivered eleven original compositions and two covers, Don McLean's 'Vincent' and a version of Greg Allman's 'Whipping Post,' that are a gorgeous presentation of her ability." - The Friday Morning Quarterback, November 17, 1995

"...wonderful vocals, sparse backings and enough atmosphere to justify a film of the album. But the real kickers are two cover versions, a chilling take of Don McLean's 'Vincent" and an unplugged performance of the Allman Brothers' raunchy-driven crowd-rouser, 'Whipping Post'." - Hi-Fi News & Record Review, June 1996

I had tried her other CD "Water Falls" but was disappointed in that one, for years I have had "Closer than they Appear," and wanted the same sound, her high notes, her scat, her energy, this CD has it. I am very happy with this choice, and might order her very first recording.
