O’s Notes: Esther is a dramatic singer. Her lyrics are clear and pronounced, colored with inflection. Her band has a tight rhythm section with a full brass complement. They open with “Remember When”, the first of seven songs written all or in part by co producer JC Hopkins. The combination is strong on tunes like “Either He’s Crazy Or I Am” and “Do You Want To Go To France”. The three covers are well integrated into the program, one that we found to be appreciably entertaining.
