The one downside of the album is the track, "Willow Weep for Me." In and of itself, the song is nice, and Krall's delivery is just as strong as on the other tracks, but her voice is so mournful and the song so sad, it sticks out and doesn’t meld with the rest of the tracks. Appearing midway through, it is jarring and pulls you from the mood of the rest of the album. It's a minor complaint and more a personal observation. On its own or in another setting, I would probably find the song just as enjoyable as the rest of them.
Jazz enthusiasts and fans of mellow and soft music will enjoy this album as much as I do. More information on Diana Krall can be found on her official website, including news, photo galleries, links to tour dates, and fan club information.

Willow Weep for Me will always belong to Billie Holiday for me. Wonder if Krall and Costello will ever hook up - er, not that way. They already have - to make an album.
