Michelle Coltrane

Awakening

2017-11-16

Quite a few cover songs on here, but I have to say I welcome in hearing some of the changes and beats to these classic tunes. Kind of crazy to hear a Jazzy version of "I Want To Know What Love Is" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice." Most of the songs sounded like Cigar Room Jazz, but it was still very enjoyable, especially with the Coltrane's behind the wheel, and their long family history in the business. Pick it up, its worth a spin when you need to relax and unwind a bit...
