Reviews :
"Jacintha sings 11 of Taylor's 'greatest hits' backed by a stellar lineup of Los Angeles studio musicians (two guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, and violin). She possesses a gorgeous voice and enjoys the advantage of top-notch arrangements. Performances aside, the exceptionally well-recorded Fire & Rain stands out because of its outstanding sound. Compare this 45 RPM set to most any other album on vinylreviews.com with a sound rating of five and add another point the sonics are literally off-the-charts good. It was recorded at the Henson Recording Studio, the former A & M Studios in Los Angeles where Joni Mitchell recorded Blue. Yet Fire & Rain far exceeds the recording quality of Mitchells iconic recordand, Id venture to say, surpasses the sonics of any recording of a female vocalist not issued by Groove Note. Take that, Diana Krall." Dennis Davis, vinylreview.com, September 2018
"Michael C. Ross on the mixing console created the well-balanced wide open and dynamic sound of this pure analogue recording. Bernie Grundman, admired as mastering genius prepared the tapes for the transfer, and also did the vinyl cut. A real treat for the ears" Winfried Dulisch, Stereoplay Magazine
