Deborah Berg has a voice so clean that you feel as if you have taken a long bath after listening to this album. Berg, along with her
Eye To Eye partner, keyboardist
Julian Marshall, are impressive songwriting and performing talents. In fact, "Nice Girls," which was a Top 40 hit, is a pop music masterpiece. A who's who of studio musicians are all over this album, including
Chuck Rainey, Elliot Randall,
Jim Keltner,
Abraham Laboriel, and
Dean Parks, in addition to
Rick Derringer,
Timothy B. Schmit, and the late, great
Jeff Porcaro. Produced by
Gary Katz of
Steely Dan production fame (Donald Fagen also makes a guest appearance),
Eye To Eye's debut release is almost as stunning as any of the Dan's albums. Unfortunately, the pinheads at Warner Brothers have never released this album on compact disc in the United States (though it may be available in Japan). ~ Tim Griggs
