My interest was peaked after reading about the tragic end of Ms. McCorkle in the local newspaper and her ties to our area--Berkeley. After ordering two of her recommended albums, I had to literally force myself to listen several times to her albums, "The People That You Never Get To Love" and "Thanks For The Memory". I have to be honest and admit I'm quite stymied as to why anyone would endorse buying her CDs. Yes, Ms. McCorkle can sing. Many people can sing but that doesn't mean they should be selling CDs. Maybe seeing her in a small caberet would be more appropriate. The only "jazz" I hear is in the fine instrumentals, not in her voice which seems to lack depth or versatility. At times her clear and succinct diction is very painful to listen to. "No More Blues" is the only decent song on this album; "Foodaphobia" sounds so strained and out of tune, it's difficult to endure. Listen to her singing somewhere for free before you lay your money out.
