You might say this album is a labor of love—it's certainly a labor about love. The two principal players here, John Pizzarelli and Rebecca Kilgore, are clearly well-versed and vastly experienced with regards to this thing that we call love: they quickly reveal that they are intimately familiar with it«s whys and wherefores, hows and whens, its highs, its lows, its ups, and its downs....It's even more obvious that Mr. P and Ms. K have the musical wherewithal to get their message across. Mr. Pizzarelli's skills are known the world over—it's hardly a secret that there is no better guitarist, singer, singing guitarist, or guitar-playing vocalist anywhere...After 30 albums, Rebecca Kilgore also hardly requires anything like an introduction, but I have to say that every time I hear her, Miss Kilgore's voice becomes increasingly sonorous and bell-like. It«s ethereal and earthy at the same time, both saintly and swinging...in the end, there's nothing like love.
