O’s Notes: Josie has a storybook career including time on the Lawrence Welk Show and as a member of the famous De Castro Sisters. After taking time off to be with her family she is back with Since You, a collection of thirteen popular classics. She has a rich cabaret style voice and takes her time making the performance easy to absorb. Courreges uses a fine group of musicians including pianist/arranger Joe Massimino and bassist Luther Hughes. Our favorites are “How Long Has This Been Going On” and “The Very Thought Of You”. Nice work.
