| "Her voice can evoke a full range of emotions
from lost love all the way to anger and angst. I particularly liked her
song selections, mixing late 60'srock and roll (Stones, Hendrix etc.) with
more traditional Blues standards. It is a credit to Diane that she is careful
to match her range with songs she can perform well, a lesson many singers
take a long time to understand! She was keenly in tune with the audience
that night, performing some crowd pleasers as well as introducing some material
they were not familiar with. Overall Diane was well rehearsed, had a good
connection with the audience, and chose a variety of material that complimented
her talents." -The Baltimore Blues Society " She has a tremendous voice, and is about to release, What I Got To Say, on her very own Postell Production label. She has brought together the region’s (Baltimore) best. People like O’Donel Levy (who is) a tremendous talent, and plays a masterful guitar. Also on this recording is John Thomakos on drums, Mookie Siegel and Benjie Porecki on keyboards, Michael McHenry on guitar, Jay Turner plays bass, Moziah Saleem plays African drums and percussion (and) Moses Lewis does the rap vocals on the opening track. Most of the songs on What I Got To Say were written by Postell, and Turner did some arranging. For the most part, this is a great effort. I am impressed but I was impressed before I even listened to the disc. For a white woman, this lady has a lot of soul. Her business card reads Rock, R&B, Funk, Blues, Jazz and its all in there. There are a couple of stand-out tracks, (and) in addition to the finest players she also employed the best we’ve got in business. Not only did she record at Secret Sound, she had Dick Rausch do the mastering, and Oasis did the duplication. Stay tuned for more on Diane Postell and company.” -Susie Mudd - Music Monthly - Publisher - www.musicmontly.com |
