City Lights : With A Wink And A Smile   

The star-spangled "City Lights," from the Garden State, 1992 Sweet Adelines International Champions, have returned with their third CD. Whether it's a plaintive ballad, such as "Little Girl Blue," originally done by the 1957 champion Cracker Jills, and arranged by the legendary Renee Craig, or Gershwin's "Someone To Watch Over Me," the sassy "Hit That Jive, Jack," with it's horn fills and athletic bass line (arranged by Greg Volk), or even City Lights' version of the Aretha classic, "Respect," each song is approached with the same concentration of musicality, originality and elegance.

Songlist: Cornet Man, Jazzman's Serenade, The Colour of My Love, A Wink And a Smile, Little Girl Blue, Hit That Jive Jack, Dayton, Ohio - 1903, All Dressed Up With a Broken Heart, Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams, Respect, Someone to Watch Over Me, Thank You World

Maryland-based Wheelhouse are relatively new to the barbershop scene, forming in January of 2002, but all of the members have deep roots in barbershop, as well as a cappella in general- Bass Mike Kelly, for instance, sings with a cappella jazz quintet "High Five," and Tenor Brandon has another a cappella quartet, "Crossroads." That feeling, that ring, that magical place where 4 voices become one, and the intensity of sound becomes greater than the sum of its parts-that's what these guys love, and from this strong, confident debut CD, and from their 8th place finish in the 2004 International Finals, it's what's lifting them steadily to the ranks of SPEBSQSA's elite. 14 classics, "Anytime," "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," "There Goes My Heart," "How High the Moon," "All Alone," "The Old Folks at Home," "You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You" and "When I Leave the World Behind"-we've heard them all before, but never quite like this. In baseball, your "wheelhouse" means a pitch is right where you like it, where you can just nail it, like Wheelhouse nails these tunes. Watch out for these guys!

Songlist: Anytime, A Wink and a Smile, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, South, I'm Confessin' (That I Love You), There Goes My Heart, Red Head / Nobody Knows What a Red Head Mama Can Do, How High the Moon, All Alone, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, The Old Folks at Home, A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening, You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You, When I Leave The World Behind
