Debby Boone reviewedClassical Voice of North Carolina Boone, Whelan, and Hunsaker Make Camelot Magical Once Again: “Debby Boone is terrific as the tragic queen torn between her enduring love for her husband and his ideals and her carnal passion for Sir Lancelot, the pious knight whose ostentatious quest to be the perfect knight and the perfect man draws groans from his fellow members of King Arthur’s fabled Round Table.” Columbus Dispatch Pop singer lights up jazz standards and more: “Her performance ranged from a wistful, subtle version of In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning to a playfully sexy You're Going to Hear from Me to an elegantly moving cover of The Music That Makes Me Dance.” JazzTimes Review: “Remarkably, as Boone, whose sunny vocal style is the antithesis of Clooney's distinctively duskier sound, navigates such varied touchstones as "Blue Skies," "Mood Indigo," "You're Gonna Hear from Me" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," her phrasing becomes startlingly Clooney-esque, making this tender embrace a loving reflection both literally and spiritually.” Review on CNN: Debby Boone's 'Blue Skies' “In performance, Boone is remarkably present, emotionally engaged, nestled in the curve of arranger John Oddo's piano and intensely aware of every syllable she sings.” The New York Observer's Rex Reed: Boone Treasures Clooney’s Songbook, “Somewhere above, next to that second star on the right, Rosemary Clooney is beaming approval and smiling proudly.” On CNN: Clued In On Clooney, “[Oddo] and Boone reassure us, one cut after the next, that we’re in the hands accomplished pros who know what Clooney meant to them and to a couple of generations whose lives seemed at times to be scored by her music.” Variety daily: “On his 50th anni in the biz, Pat Boone was toasted by the Jr. Philharmonic Orchestra's 68th anni Spectacular at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Saluting Boone were Richard Fredericks, a former Met Opera Baritone, Michael Antonovich, Mort Lindsey, Hugh O'Brian, Jack Sheldon, Johnny Tillotson, plus honorary conductors Buzz Aldrin, Mary Ann Mobley and a surprise presentation by Boone's daughter, Debby, whose (terrif) new CD, "Reflections of Rosemary," is her first for Concord. She bows at Feinstein's in N.Y., May 10. Rosemary (Clooney) opened the room in 1999.” Orange County Register: Labor of Love “The phrase "labor of love" is often overused, but in the case of Debby Boone's new Concord album, "Reflections of Rosemary," it couldn't be more apt.” See also: Debby Boone's Bio | |||||
