Wendy Ealey - 'Out of the Shower'
Jeb
Tyler, Down Under, Australian Hi-Fi, Sept/Oct 07
"It almost took me longer to read the 'thank-you's' on the back
of the CD than
it did to listen to Out of the Shower. Ealey's contralto voice
is a superb instrument,
her lower registers are almost tenor and so superbly earthy you can
smell the humus. At times when she sings, she sometimes seems to 'dual
pitch', with her voice briefly catching the upper octave (or second
octave!) before regaining the 'real' note, which I found quite fascinating.
It's also lucky she's singing her owns songs. No Right Way
is so fiendishly difficult I don't think it'll every be covered. Her
songwriting abilities are demonstrated by Child of My Heart,
easily the finest lyric I have heard in
a long time, and Wendy is so obviously singing from the heart that it
will stick in your memory."
