Lauren Cregor

Of Lauren Cregor's last album, No Time For Shy (2004), Mark Mandelbaum of Anatomically Correct Music said "(Cregor's) lyrics are so cinematic in scope that listening to her record is practically a visual experience, wordplay reminiscent of writers like Elvis Costello and Cole Porter. With memorable melodies, a big, expressive voice, a big presence on piano and a smokin' band, this disc offers much warmth and humanity."
