"This album is an uneven mix of styles and songs and does not represent what Dodo Greene is all about. While some tracks are above average, most of the arrangements have a 60's soap opera organ feel about them, with a pop-rock rhythm behind them. Unfortunately, as far as recordings go, this is most likely the only chance you'll have to hear Ms. Greene. However, now in her 70's, she still is singing regularly in Buffalo,NY at Buffalo's Famous Anchor Bar. It is in this setting that Dodo shines, backed by a Jazz Quartet in a small club. If you are ever in Buffalo, make it a point to stop and see her show...she's there every Friday and Saturday evening and The Anchor Bar is the place that literally invented the "chicken wing". Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to get to know Ms. Greene, as I am a 26 yr old singer who opens for her. She is certainly one of the last of her kind...definately transcending the eras."
Look at the personnel!!
