by Scott YanowEvery once in a while, the actress Cybill Shepherd records a vocal album. She has a nice voice and a straightforward delivery, and expresses warmth and an understanding of the lyrics that she interprets. Not much of an improviser, Shepherd nevertheless swings lightly and does a good job on these 14 songs. Accompanied by pianist Tom Adams, Shepherd is at her best on the veteran standards. There is a bit of a slump on the five more contemporary pieces (cuts eight through 12), which are pop-oriented, a bit too straight, and of lesser interest. More rewarding are her versions of"My Romance,""You Took Advantage of Me,""Begin the Beguine," and"All of Me." This set also included a CD-ROM of publicity material plus versions of"Menopause Blues" and a second take of"Graceland Revisited."
