Sherry Williams - You Must Believe In Spring (2003)

Sherry Williams' release, "You Must Believe In Spring", is a collection of popular songs that have thought provoking, profound lyrics which Williams uses to conjure up images that are illuminating and uplifting. The Bergman tune "On My Way to You" is a hauntingly beautiful self portrait. The timeless "You Must Believe In Spring" tells us that all things are possible. Brenda Russell's amazing "The Last Day" asks us to remember what it's like to live "in the moment like when we were young"... and to examine our inner beliefs. Sherry also turns the standard "Blue Skies" into a happy jazzy samba and briskly swings "On A Clear Day".

When you listen to Sherry on "You Must believe in Spring" you realize immediately that Sherry Williams is a consummate singer - the real thing. "The sound of her voice reminds one of a muted coronet" said colleague Mary Stallings. She is also more engaged in the meaning of a song than many artists will allow themselves to be. This is who she really is - open and accessible. This is a powerful and moving CD. When you listen to "You Must Believe In Spring", you will definitely feel a breath of fresh air.
