Big Time Sarah has been a sure-fire North Side draw and festival show-stealer for at least as long as she has had her tight Big Time Express band behind her, probably a lot longer. On A Million of You,
Sarah's powerful, commanding vocal style and the arrangements of bandleader/guitarist Rico McFarland translate into a disc as exciting as one of her live performances, or as close as one can get without being there. Highlights include the traditional "Train I Ride," and standards like "Red Dress" and "The Sky Is Crying," all with fine solos from her band, and near perfect singing from
Sarah: modern electric blues at its sweaty, steamy best. ~ John Duffy
