Dreamsville marked twenty five years of Carol Kidd's partnership with Linn and saw the long-awaited return to the studio of this unique UK jazz legend.Originally released in 2008,Dreamsville has been re-issued as part of Linn's ECHO series which offers a second chance to enjoy the best of the label's award-winning catalogue.An exquisite album of hand-picked standards and self-penned songs,it is perhaps no surprise that Dreamsville was named the Best CD at the 2009 Scottish Jazz Awards and a Recommended Release'on BBC Radio 2 by Russell Davies.Well known for her impeccable phrasing and delivery and for her innate ability to breathe fresh life into jazz standards,Carol's performances of Gershwin,Rogers & Hart,Irving Berlin and Henry Mancini classics sees the singer deliver a masterclass in interpretation and shows why she is considered a singer's singer.Carol has co-written two new tracks with guitarist Nigel Clark:There Goes My Heart and Do You Believe?.Both take the listener on an emotional and intimate journey proving Carol's skills as a writer as well as a world-class performer.Dreamsville includes a re-working of Carol's most famous signature song When I Dream arranged by Nigel Clark and Wet Wet Wet's Graeme Duffin.The album is enhanced by an excellent production team of Graeme Duffin(producer)and Calum Malcolm(mixer).The musicians include up and coming artists Paul Harrison and Alyn Cosker,while Mario Caribe of Salsa Celtica and Nigel Clark of the Scottish Guitar Quartet are old favourites with audiences.
