It’s a wonderfully intimate disc that communicates the tangible enjoyment that she and Lepper find in performing together…Time has inevitably taken its toll on Palmer’s voice, though her way with her material is, as one might expect, penetratingly insightful…Lepper is unfailingly supportive and comparably insightful…It’s a lovely disc. Do listen to it.
