...starring Alec Baldwin and William H Macey, AND on the soundtrack CD. This soundtrack features Diana Krall, Joey Fatone and Bobby Caldwell, and has been getting rave reviews…and so has Love Me Like Candy. "The first song is 'Candy' (aka Love Me Like
Candy) by Rebecca Kyler Downs… this is a sensational big band
swing anthem, playfully sensual, smoky and filled with lustful longings.
Not only is this a fine song which had it been written 50 years ago
would now be considered a standard, but it receives a glorious performance
by Ms Downs..." "I dug the contemporary jazz sound in the
songs, especially the torch style jazz song Candy with Rebecca Kyler
Downs. Her voice is sexy and the lyrics are cool…" "Rebecca
Kyler Downs gives a loose and playful, slinky performance of "Candy…" "Candy'
by Rebecca Kyler Downs will have you stripteasing for that special someone
in your life. It oozes sex-appeal…" "Il
n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir vu le film pour apprécier
le disque. C'est bon, c'est jazz, les interprétations de Rebecca
Kyler Downs et Diana Krall sont très belles. Il n'y a absolument
rien de négatif à dire sur ce disque qui vous fera passer
un agréable, un très agréable moment.
Boogie With The Bad Cats, another song from the Love
Me Like Candy CD, was used in Down With Love,
starring Renee Zellwiger. |

Gig News She recently returned from Hawaii, where she was singing the fabulous, 60’s-styled, Euro-tinged music of the Euro-Tones, led by JP Monche. …and speaking of exotic locations she also recently sang with The Rick Rossi Jazz Quartet, kicking off the maiden voyage of the Princess Line’s newest, biggest and most luxurious boat EVER!. The entire boat is exquisitely designed in the fashion of the luxury liners of the 1930’s. She worked with keyboard player Wally Minko, drummer Johnny Friday and bass player Dell Atkins along with sax player Rick Rossi – quite the line-up! At least one night a month you can catch her singing at the Harbor House in Marina del Rey while a 1940’s murder mystery takes place. Broadcast live (with a few exceptions) from the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, Who Killed the Radio Show? is filled with music, murder, mayhem and a meal, as you re-live the days of live radio dramas. You will find a link to it on her links page. February found her in Texas singing with her old friends, Red Young and Dina Bennett, as Red and The Redhots made several appearances in local jazz clubs as well as country clubs. Red Young is permanently in Texas now (except for when he goes on tour – really what musician ever stays put for long?) and has several new musical ensembles – most notably his Blues/Hammond Organ thang called the Red Young Quartet. She has been singing periodically with Pete Jacobs’ Wartime Review and the Pete Jacobs Quintet, enjoying those periodic returns to old-time swing at its best. You’ll find a link to his website on the links page should you be looking for a great band to lindy to. Voice-over and Actor news On the voiceover and commercial front, if you look hard you can see her in a Saturn commercial dropping her TV kids off at school, and you can hear her pitching Absolute Vanilla on the Radio. And of course she is on every installment of Warcraft. |
