The title of this CD is quite misleading. I bought it because I thought it would be Blues. It is not. It's lounge music--though of a high order. If I had liked the MUSIC better, I would rate this CD 5 stars; nevertheless, it still gets 4 stars, on the strength of other good qualitites. This CD is well-recorded, with both good musical detail and a sonic warmth or lushness. This is an intimate recording of tranquil piano and voice. The result, at least for me, is immediate relaxation.Is this CD relaxing merely because it's boring? I don't think so (even though I do find the music bland). Rather, I think it's relaxing because it sounds warm, lush and intimate. Most "boring" music is therefore "annoying," but this CD is relaxing. Sometimes you want music you can sing along with or otherwise actively listen to; but there are other times when you just want to relax, and this CD will accomplish that. (Of course, YOU might also like the songs themselves. I hope so.)
