Naked Beauty will leave you "breathless and inspired,"
to quote lyrics from the title track. The fourth recording by Patricia
O'Callaghan is her boldest to date, a gem-filled journey through idiosyncratic
pop and cabaret songs by composers including Randy Newman, Neil Young,
Leonard Cohen and Kurt Weill. Called "the most promising cabaret
artist of her generation" by Billboard Magazine, Patricia brings
the sensual theatricality of her live performances home with this new
release.
Patricia O'Callaghan is surrounded by a cast of Canadian greats on
Naked Beauty, including Steve Page (who sings two duets with
Patricia), Kurt Swinghammer, John Gzowski, Kevin Hearn, George Koller,
Robert Kortgaard and Tyler Yarema among others.
Produced by Steven Page and Michael Phillip Wojewoda. Additional Production
George Koller, James Robertson and Kurt Swinghammer. Mixed by Michael
Phillip Wojewoda.
