Lauded for her unique ability to reveal layers of depth, nuance and meaning in a song’s lyric, Susannah McCorkle was simply "one of the finest interpreters of the American songbook of her generation" [NPR]. From Bessie to Brazil, Susannah followed her musical muse to a variety of colorful musical terrain, resulting not only in one of her most artfully eclectic albums, but also one the most popular and critically acclaimed recording projects in her career. From Great American Songbook standards to contemporary classics penned by Paul Simon and Dave Frishberg; from a robust take of the Bessie Smith classic "My Sweetie Went Away" to her mesmerizing, intimate performance of Jobim’s "The Waters of March" (regarded by many as the definitive version); Susannah once again illustrated that her tenderly passionate singing "transcends trend and era."
