Although Canadian jazz/pop chanteuse Holly Cole is idolized in her home country, she is adored by a smaller but no less ardent fan base in the States. This 2008 release finds the singer at the peak of her vocal powers, breathing new life into gems like "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries" and "You're My Thrill," as well as some kookier numbers ("The Alley Cat Song"). The album was recorded live in the studio with an excellent backing band directed by John Zorn sideman Greg Cohen.
