5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting album Oct 25 2012
By Dr. Evan Wm. Cameron
Format:Audio CD
An early and riveting collection of songs by Holly Cole and her trio, remarkably in their focus and intensity, imaginatively conceived yet without any hint of pandering or cleverness. Fascinating performances.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fair Album With Some Stand-outs July 13 2005
By DigiCatJond
Format:Audio CD
The first time i became aware of the holly cole trio, i was watching a t.v concert special,possibly new years eve in montreal. i was utterly captivated by the dark haired singer in long black evening gown and long black gloves.When she sang she would find a point in the back of the auditorium and vocalize with such concentration and coolness, i couldn't take my eyes off her. a piano, a stand-up bass and a voice,absolute heaven.

This album has some stand-out songs, they are:
1. Trust in me- gorgeous,love it, calming and serene,BUT...
"trust in me, just in me, close your eyes and trust in me... slip into silent slumber, sail on a silver mist , slowly but surely you're senses will cease.. to exist"

At first i thought it was a beautiful sentiment, like a mother whispering to her child to fall asleep knowing she will protect him/her.But from the tone and wording,i swear she is lulling her victim into a false sense of trust.It turns out it is a song from the jungle book, the snake lulling mowgli? i don't remember the movie,but the song is awesome.

3.If i were a bell- i like this naughty little song, but HATE the violin. It was better in concert.

6. Calling you- now we're talking, a concert staple. "a hot dry wind, blows right through me" ...beautiful !!

7. God will- a song about infidelity. who will forgive? "god does, but i don't- god will, but i won't, that's the difference between god and me". Love it !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventurous!
I saw Holly on Canadian TV and had to get this CD as soon as I found it. She and her trio partners breathe new life into songs you'd never expect to be so rich. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent blend of instrumental jazz and vocals!
I am not an experienced listener of jazz music. However, I do know what I like. Holly Cole has a beautiful, throaty alto/tenor voice. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars dark, off pace, great stuff
I really like Holly Cole: got hooked on Don't Smoke in Bed, like the rest of her stuff too. Very different phrasing than I am used to, surprising, but well done and often more... Read more
