You'd recommend Katie, Vivien? I tried to do an online preview, because I was interested, but for some unknown reason the
sound didn't work! However, I remained mellow!

well, I love it, very introspective, great timing and lovely mellow jazzy-bluesy sound. Most are new songs with a few oldies, including Blues in the Night, which I love Sinatra singing as well (a favourite from both).
There's some tracks I like much more than others but none that I dislike - usually there's a track or two that you want to skip and this isn't the case here.
I like words that
mean something too.
Christmas good spirit is wearing off grumpy husband - perhaps time for headphones and play it again!
