Neshama Carlebach – Journey

Rating:

There was never much doubt that Neshama could carry on her father’s legacy. The real question was whether she could extend it and make it her own; Reb Shlomo cast a long shadow. This CD, her best to date, answers the question with a powerful affirmative. Most of the songs are by Reb Shlomo, but the interpretations

are distinctive and original. Neshama is in fine voice, with a smokier, more expressive sound than ever. Darker and a bit more brooding than any of Shlomo’s records, a terrific recording.
