Barely There

Carrie Wicks' 2010 debut created great anticipation for what this ''gorgeously warm and intimate'' voice would do for a follow-up. That time has come as Wicks reassembles the same creatively sympathetic group, offering up another interesting set of music including standards, such as Laura and A Kiss to Build a Dream On , to Townes Van Zandt's No Place to Fall , to eight of Wick's original songs penned along with her writing partner Ken Nottingham. All About Jazz referred to her first CD as ''...an extraordinary debut, a first-rate jazz vocal effort''.
