San Francisco's Alternative Daily Online News
Reeves is a great singer. The Rrazz Room has pulled
off a real coup to get this talented singer to come to San Francisco. The great thing about Reeves is not only is she a fabulous
singer, but she has tons of charisma....Seeing her and hearing her live is a real treat. What you get is pure Reeves, there
are no gimmicks, no echo chambers--just the best bluesy songs ever written. All in all, this great legend has never sacrificed
her art. She is the real deal. Talk about "Blues," she served up a big plate of that in the song "Mood Indigo."

Reeves' songwriting talent,
something overlooked when she topped the charts, has finally come to the limelight. Her voice sounded particularly good on
her own compositons, "Watch Your Back" and "Home to You," which she wrote for her father and son,
respectively. And she also got down and bluesy with Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo."
