(2-LP set) Lauren White is an extremely talented 20-year old from Texas who has been studying under the same vocal coach as Norah Jones. Lauren blends the sensuality and vulnerability of Jones with the vocal range of Linda Ronstadt combined with a voice that exhibits emotional depth as well as nuance and delicacy. Her debut album features a wide array of songs, including the Billy Holiday-styled opener My One & Only to the Anthony Wilson-arranged Love for Sale and a swinging cover of Mack the Knife. Featuring Anthony Wilson on guitar, Bill Cunliffe on piano and Ricky Woodward on sax.
