Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Lizz Wright's sophomore release, Dreaming Wide Awake is a gorgeous, floating atmospheric journey. Her deep, rich alto, matched by a similarly incredible depth of emotion, makes for a beautiful, timeless record. Highlights include a bluegrass-tinged cover of Neil Young's "Old Man," a gorgeously sultry version of Joe Henry's "Stop" (better known as "Don't Tell Me," as covered by Madonna), and the Youngbloods' positivity-tipped "Get Together." But not all highlights are cover tunes. Wright, along with songwriter Jesse Harris and Toshi Reagon, created the achingly beautiful "Hit the Ground," while Chocolate Genius (a.k.a. Marc Anthony Thompson) scribed "Chasing Strange," and Wright penned the jazz-tinged title track on her own. --Denise Sheppard

Customer Reviews

Wonderful & Mellow (2006-03-13)

A true suprise. Reccommended by a family member and have been thanking them ever since.Having a hard time finding a "new find" I like as much. Highly suggest purchasing.

Best CD of the year (2005-07-28)

I'd never heard of Lizz Wright, but after reading rapturous reviews, I decided to give it a chance. It hasn't left my CD player since I first put it on.

Her interpretations of classics and obscurities, as well beautiful original songs, are absolutely stunning. Her voice is indeed "one in a million". It's just as raputurous singing a blues-style arrangements or a simple stripped-down acoustic piece.

I've recommended this CD to everyone I know. You will not regret getting this one!
