Fever – The Peggy Lee Songbook with Connie Evingson

“It’s a daunting task to record a tribute album to a legend like Peggy Lee, if for no other reason than every song will be compared to the original, but Minneapolis-based Connie Evingson does it, and does it well. While she uses similar arrangements, she doesn’t try to sound like Lee. Her voice is deep and sultry like Lee’s, but it’s also somewhat lighter. To her credit, Evingson’s tribute is not only to songs that Lee sang, but to those she wrote, reminding us that the multi-talented Lee was also a composer of some note.” – AllMusic
