Engaging vocal arrangements
author: Ellen Collison, Cadence
Walker & Kays are an engaging trio whose vocal arrangements are very much in the Gene Puerling Hi-Los, Singers Unlimite vein. Kays is in the spotlight.... and is supported by Walker's spare but elegant comping as she
comes up with admirable interpretations of the lyrics, along with some fine understated vocal improvisation... listeners should be well satisfied with this release.

Polished and Spontaneous - Liquid and Alive
author: Rick Mattingly, Louisville Times
Guitarist Greg Walker and vocalist Jeanette Kays have been working together for 20 years and have developed a musical rapport that is shown to fine advantage here.
