Holly Cole is one of the unsung hero's . Her  ( Volume One ) CD is worth it's weight in gold , in fact I'm going to put in on right now .

Does STEREOPHILE have a policy of never reviewing records that are not released in the US? Holly Coles last few records seem to have been ignored, even though she does have a fan base here. Just because she apparently has no American label now, her recordings are still available via her website. "Shade" is absolutely fantastic!

Your fellow forum members have not overlooked Ms. Cole. Just check out my list in the second post of this thread:

Ever since Stereophile contributor Jonathan Scull raved about The Holly Cole Trio back in the late 90's, I have been a huge fan. I went out and bought 'Don't Smoke In Bed' and fell in love with that album. Beautiful voice and a beautiful Lady.

Love her trio as well.
