Schuur lets sentiment drive her latest album, a tribute to her mother, on which the blind singer spins through 13 pop and jazz standards that were household staples when she was growing up in Auburn, Wash. The material is a fine fit with Schuur's clear, confident voice; her delivery is a bit more restrained than she tends to be on the more pop-oriented end of her repertoire, but the subtle work by...

I’ve lost track already of how many times I’ve watched the 7 minute 7 second YouTube video of Susan Boyle’s audition for Britain’s Got Talent. (In just five days, it’s been viewed over 15 million times, so someone besides me out there is helping boost the numbers!) And now, the only known recording she’s done [...]

Thankfully, with Blues For Schuur, Deedles has some material she can really sink her teeth into, and the result is one of her best albums in years! The program, as the title suggests, is all blues; gut-wrenching,...
