My Dancing Sweetheart: Just Songs
“Stacey Fraser hits notes that no one else ever does. No, really – this delicious smorgasbord of vocal rarities actually uses notes not normally found on the keyboard. Whether she is narrating a hilarious barroom brawl with Calamity Jane or mesmerizing with gorgeous settings of Emily Dickinson and Gertrude Stein, her boundless virtuosity and uncanny versatility hits the spot every time.” (KPFK Radio)
