You’re Following Me!

Overview

You’re Following Me! --- 2008

Vocally, Ms. Dexter has the power of a mighty gospel singer with the will to move heaven and earth. The voice projects strength, solidity and a heartiness that runs counter to the songs’ images of people in thrall to fantasy. Ms. Dexter isn’t kidding. The theme of addiction, of someone being pursued by all sorts of demons, runs through this intelligent but disturbing set. It wasn’t until “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart,” her encore on Thursday, that the monkeys suddenly vanished, and Ms. Dexter sounded a call to pure joy and celebration. She had found a natural high.
