Happy Talk, now available, is a collection of Pamela Hart’s favorite songs most of which she heard growing up in Los Angeles, usually sung by her mother Christine Whitehead. From the smooth style of “Tenderly” to the brassy swing of “Wonder Why,” the album has many textures. One thing consistent is the almost-live and personal feel the album has with the vocals and musicians interchanging organically in the studio between the intros and outros arranged by Dr. James Polk. The musicians were told “I want to hear you.” That is what you get with this wonderful album. It swings, soars, swoops and glides. It takes you home!
