"Bill Daugherty lights up a CD the way he lights up a cabaret or a concert stage--with passion, drive, and an awesome talent. His impeccable taste leads him into beautiful, unfamiliar landscapes by Portia Nelson and Francesca Blumenthal, lifts off into jazz riffs by Dave Brubeck and Antonio Carlos Jobim, and rests comfortably in the nurturing musical arms of Yip Harburg, Burton Lane, Jerome Kern, and the Gershwins. He can surge with power or croon with warmth, equally at home with new material or timeless treasures, always finding a fresh spin on every song, regardless of mood or tempo. I dare anyone to equal his creamy-dreamy way with a ballad like Cy Coleman's "Love Makes Such Fools of Us All" or swing with more self-confidence on a rhythmic big-band-era classic like "Dontcha Go 'Way Mad". Old-timers with twice his age and experience would tremble at the thought of a duet with Margaret Whiting, yet his phrasing is jaunty and assured, his timing perfect, his exuberance thrilling. Versatility is his bedrock, a love for great music is his talisman. Let's get real here and just flat-out admit it--male singers selling style, class and first-rate songs don't come any better than Bill Daugherty. He's just plain terrific."
