From the liner notes “this is a collection of stories that deals in the duality of the human condition. Darkness and Light. Turns out we all have some of each-light and dark on the inside.” Perhaps some of this stems from Magness’ experiences as a Foster Child as the CD is dedicated to all Foster Youth. Her voice is at its best on this album on embracing original material written especially for her and songs from Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, Gladys Knight, Nina Simone and James Carr. Haunting, seductive, soulful B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Janiva Magness delivers a superb album.
