I'll go out on a limb here. The Other Side of Abbey Road is/was the best George Benson recording. I just rediscovered this interpretation of the Beatles and was again blown away. Great singing and some wonderful musicianship.
Oh, back in the day, when I had finished writing a paper this was the recording I used to wind down. Well, the vinyl wore down. Eventually a CD replacement was discovered at HMV but it migrated to the basement to collect dust. Now it's on the iPod. Look for it.
Mmmm, I think I will relax to it now.
Susheela Raman
The Times
A jazz-pop vixen, she exudes an erotic charge far sexier than anything we have heard from the demure Ms Jones. Fuses indian exotica with late-night jazz bar moods.
The Times review is true but somehow there is more to all of this. Ms Raman combines both the sensibilities of her Indian roots and British home. It's all somehow the "new Europe". World music or music for the world? At the right time or in the right place the songs are priceless.
