Take Me Home Reviews

 

Scott Yanow, Jazz critic and author
Ms. Hull's Take Me Home pays tribute to ten standards by adding subtle creativity, a real feel for the lyrics, and swing. Throughout this very pleasing set, Laura Hull both inhabits the songs and serves them well. All of the individual composers would be pleased with her tasteful treatments, as will listeners who enjoy superior material and classy singing."
John Hoglund, Cabaret Scenes

Laura Hull's dynamic new album is a solid mix of flawlessly arranged tunes sung with a contagious flair by a savvy jazz stylist who, like Daryl Sherman and her ilk, are passing the torch of the great American songbook.

A graceful singer, Hull draws upon rich vocals to express the warmness of soft ballad-like songs. Of course Hull does have another swinging side where she demonstrates her assertive and expressive vocals belting out the lyrics in tasteful fashion. Just listen to the lady's interpretation of Frank Loesser's burner I've Never Been In Love Before to sample the singer's reach. If you favor music from the Great American Songbook, then you will be more than pleased with Take Me Home. Laura Hull is a melodic singer who puts her heart in this album and it shows when you hear her sing. Trust me, take this one home with you and let Laura Hull's elegant style mesmerize you as she did me.
