This is a very nice album by Sylvia, who also has covered Cheryl's songs on her Where in the World album.
Soon As I Find My Voice is the lead song on this album, and she does an excellent job on this song.
If you aren't familiar with Sylvia, she has a nice voice that reminds me of a softer Nancy Griffith on some songs, and a lot like Beth Nielsen Chapman on others. This album has a definite country flavor, but still enjoyable (I'm not a big country fan.)
Sylvia wrote (or co-wrote) most of the songs on this album, including the title song (which is excellent, IMHO). This is quite a bit different than her later one, that contains mostly covers.
