Stevie Vallance

A collection of projects by Stevie Vallance's production company.

Shared Vision, Vancouver

by John Beaudin

Recording a live CD in one day, without any band rehearsals, proves that when you know what you're doing, you don't have to worry about the details. Stevie Vallance, who won rave reviews a few years ago with "A Closer Walk" with Patsy Cline - playing and singing the role of the immortal vocalist - has produced her own unforgettable piece of music history. On Practically Naked, Vallance makes the old standards shine anew, without the over-the-top thunder which usually accompanies most 'A' list singers on the charts. This salute to classics, like the ever-lazy Lush Life, and the Roger's and Hart's My Funny Valentine, is the album most of us have been waiting for. Practically Naked sounds real and true, and Vallance's voice will remind you why these songs are truly irresistible. "This lady can sing!"
