Review
It's not just Susannah McCorkle's smoky sensuality that grabs a listener. It's her wit and literacy, her jazz sensibilities and constant inventiveness in interpreting America's great popular songs. All those strengths stood out on this 1985 LP, issued here on CD for the first time. She created flawless tension and atmosphere on "While the City Sleeps" from the musical Golden Boy. By slowing "There's No Business Like Show Business" to a more contemplative tempo, she gained the space to plumb the underlying--and seldom explored--melancholy of Irving Berlin's lyrics. Similarly, she confers a level of majesty and humanity on Jim Webb's country-pop standard "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" that Glen Campbell's 1967 hit version can't match. Defining a song on both its terms and her own is one of her consistent strengths, be it "Where or When" or Dave Frishberg's sarcastic, satirical "Blizzard of Lies." "Outra Vez" reveals the mastery of Brazilian song she later explored in greater depth. Indeed, the entire album reveals McCorkle's talents fully formed, a harbinger of the excellence that followed. --Rich Kienzle
