REVIEW! GOING SOLO BY FAYE PATTON

''Eleven songs written and performed by Faye Patton on vocals and piano. She writes really good hooks, not just on the voice but in her piano parts too, so its just all there in your head days later. Faye won my heart years ago with her line âThereâs a woman on the tracks and Iâm going to lay down by her sideâ. That spirit of empathy is alive as ever in âI Know thePrisonerâ. This new collection sees Faye laying down her piano grooves as solid gold as ever with richer chords than formerly, and some intricate classically inspired excursions. With warmth, soul, delicacy and an impeccable sense of technique and tuning, she patiently unfolds her stories, from the heart rending âA Foolish Foolâ to the humourous âDarling I doâ. âSeason for Everythingâ could be a classic jazz blues gem.'' (Reviewer Jazz Singer Sue Mccreeth)
