I guess people know these last 10 or so, if they've been following the blog for a while now. This was my favorite album, and this is what I wrote before. I don't have much else to add to it, but here it is again.
Funny that my top pick is an album that is largely all covers, when I generally don't go for covers albums. It's not like there are any hits here though, and Kelly easily demonstrates that "Stay" is very likely the greatest track that Charlie Rich ever laid down (which is maybe why he did so himself 4 or 5 times). She definitely has some incredible musical knowledge and taste. I remember many of my peers complaining how Kelly had the tools to make an orchestrated Dusty Springfield style opus and was under-utilzing her talent here, but I, for one, enjoy the mouth trumpet solo quite a bit.
