"What exactly causes an artist to pull ahead of the pack and emerge to be a cut above the rest? There may be no answer for this question other than magic, and if magic is the answer, Deb Barber will be considered the Houdini of the music industry. Chemistry, teamwork, and outstanding musical talant merge beautifully to create "The Best Of Life". The one-and-only Buddy Greco (or as I like to call him "Mr Music") not only co-arranged and co-produced the tracks on this CD but also lent his talents by playing piano, organs, and synths. To quote Buddy, "In all the years I've been in the music business, I've only met a few very "special" musicians. As you will hear, Deb is certainly one of the best." The beauty of Deb's music is no cliched formulas - each song is refreshingly unique. Some tunes are down-home fresh with the distinctive feel of Midwest rock; others diverge into blues or have a distinctly Latin feel. "A Little Bit Of Mmm Mmm" is bursting with wonderful Latin percussion and brass accenting the sensual lyrics and melody. Weaved in to the fiber of "Mmm Mmm" is electric guitar and organ solos that merit this tune to stand head-to-head with a "Santana" song. It's for real. This is a great adult contemporary album. Just give a listen, it's some of the best ear-candy I've heard in a long time." - Jimmy Scalia
