Fools Rush In pairs Monica Lewis with arranger/pianist Jack Kelly for what would prove her most intimate and nuanced LP. Kelly's soft, moody approach perfectly complements the feminine complexity of Lewis' vocals -- while never the most gifted or accomplished singer, there's no denying the kittenish appeal she brings to familiar material like "But Not for Me" and "Am I Blue." Moreover, the songs and sequencing create a unified whole all too rare among albums from the era in question. More than just a slapdash collection of performances, Fools Rush In is a stunning evocation of mood and texture from a singer all too often overlooked in favor of less compelling contemporaries.
