This latest release from Renee Olstead, the precocious young singer and actress (a mere 18 years old) shows that an artist can deliver quality material simplly and effectively to achieve success. Renee continues to show that refined sense of style and sophistication that belies her tender years and makes her well worth watching, and hearing. With the able, guiding hand of uber-producer, David Foster, Renee offers a clever blend of tunes - classic standards (Skylark, When I Fall in Love, Lover Man), pop/swing (Thanks for the Boogie Ride, Ain't We Got Fun, My Baby Just Cares for Me), R&B/Soul (Hit the Road, Jack, You've Changed) and leans toward the bounds of country (Midnight Man; Stars Fell on Alabama; Midnight in Austin, Texas; Nothing But the Blame) - and ties them all together with an engaging charm and seamless ease. She is a true phenomenon who is only beginning to gain the kind of mainstream exposure that she deserves. If you're a fan of "great girl singers" as I am, Renee Olstead's Skylark CD is a most worthy addition to your collection.Read full review
A lifelong musician, I was unaware of Rene Olstead, but that, thankfully, has changed. She is one of the most impressive vocal artists I have ever heard. Her beautiful voice combined with unique artistry make this CD an absolute treasure. I give it the highest possible recommendation.

Bought this CD because I own two of her other ones. Hard to beleive she is only 18! She loves singing these old standards, and the arrangements are just great! Have listend to the CD 4 times since I got it and enjoy all the songs. Title song stands out and so does Hold me Now, Midnight in Austin. Very enjoyable Cd for a drive or just some music to play while doing other things. Would put this young lady on a favorite singer list. Really enjoy all her music. A Great Buy in my book.
This artist has a wonderful sound and will please the listener with her versions of great old standards.

This new CD of hers is really good just like the first one from about 5 years ago. She does a fantastic job of anything she sings especially on the standards that she records. A very good cd for any one who likes the standards, and Smooth Jazz. I highly recommend it. Give this artist a chance since airplay of her music is very limited. You won't be dissapointed.
