But it's the material inside on the disk that grabbed my attention. Her vocals are serene, subtle, like floating silk. Most of her tracks on this CD fall into the "jazz" genre and were for the most part impressive like a club singer that stands before the mike wearing a dress that sparkles like her voice. Harmonies are classic in style and only add to the wonderful presentation of the pieces. There is a mix in of folk styled rhythms with soft and sultry jazz pieces. Both genre seem to mix for the most part, with a few exceptions. You get an impression of a softer "Cheryl Crow" in the title track "Tough on Crime" while presented with the "sexy night club singer" in "Tangerine". "Ordinary Blues" takes on a very definite "Steely Dan" feel but with more subtlety. The addition of Billy Preston on keys and Walter Becker probably adds to that feel in these tracks.
