Like so many country veterans who have seen their airplay diminish with the music's changing demographics, Suzy Bogguss has begun targeting a different listenership--in this case, the cappuccino crowd. Here, she strays farther than ever from country convention with arrangements that suggest smooth jazz with a breezy Brazilian lilt. She receives a writing credit on most of the material, which ranges from the sophisticated supper-club bluesiness of "Chain Lover" and the midtempo "Baby July," with minimal piano backing, to the melancholy, contemplative balladry of "It's Not Gonna Happen Today." An unexpected highlight is her stripped-down version of "If You Leave Me Now," which really gets to the heart of a song that sounded schmaltzy in Chicago's original. Whether this is a new career direction or simply a side excursion, it shows that the supple singer has plenty of versatility beyond country. --Don McLeese

Album Description
Multi might be the best adjective to describe talented singer/songwriter Suzy Bogguss. Multi-award-wining, multi-platinum, and as her new CD Sweet Danger so expertly proves, she's multi-faceted. She co-produced the album with famed jazz/pop keyboardist and producer Jason Miles, who's worked with Miles Davis, Luther Vandross and Sting. The two brought together Nashville and New York musicians, culling the best of both worlds to create an instantly engaging, groove oriented record infused with jazz rhythms and Bogguss' signature vocals. This highly anticipated album will be released September 4th on Loyal Dutchess Records. Digipak.

Customer Reviews

Best Ever
I've heard Suzy Bogguss on the radio for years, but never bought anything of hers until now and I love it. It's the best ever.

Wow, surprise!
I just recently purchased this new release by Suzy and at first I was a bit confused by it. I really enjoyed her prior album "Swing" and was half expecting another light and fun album, but was a bit taken back by this moodier-bluesy album. Her vocals are outstanding as usual, and there are some excellent songs like "Bus Ride", "Baby July" and the title track "Sweet Danger". The cover of "If You Leave Me Now" is currently stuck in my head-and I'm torn as to whether that's a good or a bad thing. The one disappointment as to be the second track, I don't think "Everything" works, it masks and layers the best voice in music under a lot of reverb and techno processing. It's also pretty obvious who wrote "Chain Lover", it's all Suzy, all the way. The remaining songs are all nicely crafted and add to this wonderful little jumble and yields a great album for those quiet rainy days at home. Great job!

Rich, strong music with some meat to it!
A fan of everything from Country to 40's Standards, I find it difficult (and unnecessary) to classify Sweet Danger. I just know I'm impressed. The timbre of her voice has brought me back to this recording again and again. Unlike most of my music collection, I simply don't tire of listening to this album. There is a resonance to her voice so pleasing to my ear, coupled with an ease and sincerity of delivery that is just a pleasure to experience. I'm anxious to see more of this type of material from Ms. Bogguss.
