Downbeat Magazine: 3 stars This Californian sings with such electricity in the studio she risks sounding overwrought. But there's a reason for her ebullience. Parker has overcome life-threatening cancer and is counting her blessings in high style. On "The Bigger They Are," she settles down and articulates lessons learned about crushed love that tell of her emotional self assuance- it's a commanding performance.
