Album Name: Almost Home
Artist: Courtney Fortune
Year/Label: 2007 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Courtney Fortune’s ep is a charming jazzy record.
She starts by covering Oasis “Champagne Supernova” and turns it into a jazz standard. Her croon is as warm as Norah Jones.
Her own “Like Always” is a classy song too, its subtitle “3rd murderer love song” implies a darker heart than the sound reveals.
“I’ll See You Soon” sounds like an instant classic and that’s her song too.
Tom Waits “Little Trip to Heaven” gets a cool reading too. A lovely ep by a great singer.
