On Come With Me, multi-lingual vocalist Allison Adams Tucker takes you on a musical journey throughout the globe singing in six languages taking part of the repertoire from the Great American Songbook. She starts her trek with the Koehler/Arlen standard “World On A String” voiced in English of course and demonstrating her more than capable reaching vocals in which she is wonderfully accompanied here on guitar by the great Peter Sprague. With one of the most unusual reads of Richard Rodgers' “My Funny Valentine” I've heard, Allison opens the song singing in the Sakura Japanese tradition before she emerges with the standard melody again singing in English. On the fourth track Allison provides sweet vocals in French on the beautiful rendition of “La Vie En Rose.”
The lady turns to singing in Italian on the pop tune “Rosa” before returning to English voicing the warm and gentle “You Got Me,” the only original on the album but an absolutely delicious number and clearly one of the best on the disc where once again sh e receives another fine solo from Sprague's guitar. With a bit more of the world flavor, Allison does the lyrics in Spanish on the sensuous “Volver” and provides a nice samba-shaded rendition of “O Barquinho” singing of course in Portuguese for another highlight of the album.
Come With Me is an exceptional slice of music from all corners of the world performed by one of the better vocalists around in Allison Adams Tucker. As a self described vocalists in many genres, Allison blends a varied selection of pop, world and jazz music on this album, so much so that one would be hard pressed to categorize it as a purely jazz recording. Nevertheless, Come With Me has something for everyone to enjoy and Allison Adams Tucker makes the experience pleasurable.
