about

LaVon Hardison is one of the best vocalists in these parts. Everyday Gifts is a simple album of favorites and standards that are balm for the frayed nerves of the past year. With her accompanist David Rhys-Johnson at the grand, Hardison leads off with an intimate "Stand By Me." She slows down the erstwhile gospel rave-up "This Little Light of Mine" to a kind of personal sharing, yet without losing one bit of that song's majesty and affirming message. Her "Imagine" is pretty straightforward, and "Wade In The Water" is also as we're used to hearing it, unleashed celebration over churchy piano. Hardison stays in the gospel vein on the last tracks, too, but she brings in several nice breezes of pop and jazz. The album clocks in at a brisk 35 minutes, but that just leaves the listener wanting a replay, or maybe her other fine albums!
