Description:

The lighting is dim, the air thick with the scent of perfume and free-flowing whiskey and wine… Barbara Ireland’s CD, “Turning Back Time – Classic Songs To Kiss By” sends you back in time to when classic jazz and blues filled the smoky nightclubs of New York and other great cities. Barbara’s sultry voice – which has been described as “Peggy Lee and Julie London with a modern twist” – heats up the lyrics and brings the passion of the music to life.

Reviews of “Turning Back Time – Classic Songs To Kiss By”

“If you like your Jazz sultry, moody, sensually charged, and exquisitely sung by an equally described beautiful singer, then this collection of music – this CD belongs in your music collection! Barbara Ireland Delivers!” – Justin Case

“Ireland’s cover [of ‘St. James Infirmary’] is as slow as molasses and just as dark, and was one of the night’s easy highlights.” – Kim Ruehl, www.nodepression.com : The ‘Roots Music Authority’ blog

“The mood of Barbara Ireland’s album is smooth, sexy and flirtatious in a fashion rarely seen in music today… The beautiful singer also set the mood with an original song she penned entitled ‘Angel in Blue Jeans,’ which seamlessly fits with the tracks which are 50 years its junior.” – Troy Michael, InnocentWords Magazines and Records

“Barbara Ireland has recorded sexy songs! The kind of music that make you want to rip his clothes off.” – Losille @CFM Music Scene: Music News & Entertainment/Records

“Ireland’s new album, ‘Turning Back Time: Classic Songs to Kiss By,’ is a sultry, sumptuous collection of jazz and blues from the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s… She has a sweet, supple voice that is completely at ease with the material she has chosen.” – Gene Stout, Seattle Times/Post-Intelligencer
