“Joanie Pallatto is in fine voice in this collection of tunes, delivering melody and lyric steeped in mellow maturity. Backed by an A-list band, singer and musicians played in a toe-tapping groove of pop numbers with hints of rock and jazz inflections, making for happy, satisfying pleasure. Well done, Joanie Pallatto." —Marilyn Lester, Journalist

From Fareed Haque

“Unlike many of my producing gigs, Joanie was an equal partner, choosing musicians, making edits, creating vocal parts and much more. It is a joy to work with someone who has such a clear and big vision of her art. Bravo!”

From Joanie Pallatto

As I've said, these words are all I ever need to hear... from my friend, guitar legend George Freeman: “Joanie, it gets to my SOUL! It's sentimental, and it makes you reminisce."
