O’s Notes: Cheryl’s voice is as beautiful as ever in front of a full band with strings on this collection of romantic love songs. The style moves around a bit including the bouncy “Blue Moon” with John Pizzarelli crooning with Cheryl. Most of the arrangements were done by pianist Corey Allen including “Let’s Fall In Love” and the seductive “Don’t Say A Word”. Mark Kibble and Alvin Chea of Take 6 add warm harmony on “The Book of Love”, one of our favorites. We also liked “You Go To My Head” featuring guitarist Geissman and Chris Tedeso (t). This set of love songs is exceptional!
