Rachel's voice was
first heard all over Europe when she was singer and main songwriter
of Bliss, the british pop band that scored two massive pan-European
hits with "I Hear You Call My Name" and "The Morning
After" (both composed by Rachel). When the rest of the band wanted
to turn the groups into a kind of dancefloor outfit, Rachel left Bliss
(which, un-surprisingly sank into oblivion soon after!).
She married and in 1993 followed her husband Tommy to his home country
Germany, where she has since build up a new career. Her first solo album
"Live At Phoenix", recorded during an intimate club-gig, shows
Rachel true to her folk and classic-soul roots.
Wisely Rachel decided against all gimmickry in terms of orchestration,
so what we get here is just Tommy's competent guitar and Rachels unbelievable
voice, rendering captivating performances of originals such as "I
Hear You Call My Name" as well as breathtakingly powerful cover-versions
(namely of Aretha Franklin's "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman").
A real turn of for every lover of timeless, natural, handmade music
with a bluesy feeling.
