Shelly Rudolph - The Way We Love

Vocalist-songwriter Shelly Rudolph presents a unique and lyrical new song set, featuring legendary cellist David Darling whose layered textures blend with a subtle palette of piano-bass-guitar, and cameos from soprano saxist Devin Phillips. Along with six original songs are an inventively re-harmonized arrangement of Stand By Me, and a sweetly soulful duet with Redray Frazier on Chris Pierce's Slow Life. Long a poet as well, the album showcases her poetic and sensual expressivity on The Way We Love, spoken against a sumptuous bed of Darling's cello tones and Tom Grant's piano. Rudolph's gospel-tinged originals, Close Enough and Calling Me Home, open and close the session. Also joining Rudolph is guitarist Chance Hayden, bassist Dave Captein, and pianists David Goldblatt, Darrell Grant & David K Mathews.
