—You might remember this lady as a Giant Records country artist. She still writes for mainstream country stars such as Faith Hill, Joe Nichols, Terri Clark, Tracy Lawrence and Martina McBride, but on her new CD she unveils a sublime, new pop/jazz sensibility. This title tune features lovely Mark T. Jordan piano and Kris Wilkinson strings in sympathy with her bell-clear vocal. Elsewhere, folks like Jim Hoke, Pat Buchanan, David Hungate and Harry Stinson scamper through their paces. Check out the delightful “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” “I Couldn’t Have Said it Better Myself” or “I’ll Take What I Can Get.” Heck, every song on this set sounds like a hit."
