Comments:
Sunday Wilde plays a nice brand of retro blues/jazz and her vocal are warm and inviting. She's hardly reinventing the genre, but she has such fun with it that it hardly matters. "Don't sit around waiting" makes good use of the growl inherent in Wilde's vocals and evokes a nice mood. "Smooth talking man" has some nice honky tonk piano and a sassy lead vocal. "Trouble coming at me from behind" is another winner, Wilde playing deft piano and adding a sultry vocal. It's as blue as can be and it really works. She reminds me of others in the genre, most notably Madeleine Peyroux, but she has her own voice. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)

Comments:
Sunday Wilde follows her previous bluesy outing with an even wilder and more focused adventure. Her sassy vocals are as strong as ever, and her piano playing is ace. The feline opener "That man drives me mad" is a high-octane opener as Wilde suggestively pants and growls her words out. The more subtle approach in "Sunday's midnight blues" works fine and shows her voice at its deepest and most beguiling. "My baby's dead" is an Eastern European tinged nightmare about a grieving woman that allows Wilde room to roam with her peerless vocal prowess. She's made a fabulous record that should appeal to many. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
