Nancy Wright’s new album PUTTING DOWN ROOTS effortlessly blends blues, R&B, funk, New Orleans and gospel styles in a fresh, creative collection of twelve original compositions, intertwined by strong, tasteful arrangements and performances. Wright’s naturally bluesy voice conveys charm and conviction, giving her a very honest, unaffected sound all her own, which is nothing short of refreshing. If comparisons of her vocal stylings must be made, they would be to Ruth Brown and Dinah Washington. Her lyric writing gives the listener a peek into the twists and turns of a woman’s romantic life, while her instrumental work seduces us to party. The whole CD is enhanced by the emotional, melodic, and technical breadth and depth of Wright’s command of, and love for the sax. The language of her full-toned, throaty tenor moves from tight, syncopated funk, to broad sweeping phrases of soaring altissimo, breathy croons, purrs, and growls. Wright owns the mood of each song by changing gears and fluently shifting from technical control to raw emotion and back.
