What About Love?
The question posed by this CD's title is an open-ended one indeed, and over the course of 11 tracks, guitarist and singer Deborah Coleman attempts to answer it in myriad ways, from the sensuality of "Undeniable" to the optimistic "Lookin' for a Real Love" to the somewhat plaintive title track. Coleman, who gets more polished with every album, is in fine form here; her rich, velvety voice and top-notch guitar chops makeWhat About Love?an uninterrupted treat from beginning to end. Whether she's telling off a lying lover in "Lie No Better" or letting her guitar do the talking on "The River Wild," Coleman has plenty to say, and she does so with the articulation and expressiveness of a maturing artist.--Genevieve Williams
