Randy Crawford Raw Silk

180g High Quality Pressing! Pressed at Pallas in Germany! Re-mastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering!
Why didn't this girl get the recognition she deserves? There are some absolutely wonderful songs on this album and even better vocal performances that few have come close to. The collection is slightly jazz tinged but don't let that put you off. Outstanding tracks include Someone to Believe In and Endlessly and Nobody, all of which will touch your heart.
But there is a moment in the first couple of lines of the song - Love is Like a Newborn Child- when Miss Crawford hits a note and holds it for a few seconds that just takes your breath away! Worth buying just for that moment alone. If you are into the great vocalists of our time then buy this. It's fantastic.
"...one of Crawford's best albums...the up-tempo numbers are just as strong as the quiet storms." - Andy Kellman, allmusic.com
