Review
Shirley opens up. She shows who she is leaving behind her all shyness. Swinging along on a belling organ (only the introduction of the first track reminds of a church choral) Shirley has obviously changed her attributes of playing the organ. The tenderness and restraint of earlier albums have given away to a more impulsive, more eruptive way to play the organ. Shirley has become more dominant in regard of her co-players.
Nevertheless: Great!
