If you are looking for a female voice on SACD - buy this one. "Spanish Harlem" will
give you the heebie-jeebies (if you got good hifi equipment). The sound is phenomenal.

I bought this on sale, knowing nothing about the artist. "Spanish Harlem" is a reference grade piece and every song on the disc is simply penetrating. She does a version of Auld Lang Syne that I can not quit thinking about. Great vocals, the recording is masterful. Best $7.99 I ever spent.

Performance:  Sonics (S):
I took a chance with this album and was very pleased I did. Mrs. Pidgeon was new to me but the Chesky label was not.

The Music: A little soulful....bluesy with a strong taste of folk music. She tells stories and sings in a rather laid back way but expressively. I enjoyed the whole album and her rendition of spanish harlem and the final cut really making the grade.

The sound: iN A WORD...AWESOME. The realism of the music and the quality of her voice is extremely impressive. She is literally there in the room with you. Her voice is captured beautifully.

If you like to be adventerous and try new music I highly recommend this sacd to you.
The music and recording are fabulous.
