Ilona Knopfler:
Live the Life
Featuring Marty on guitar

Ilona’s CD is an accomplished production, from the opener, “I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song” with background vocal support from Kim Nazarian of New York Voices, to “Comment Allez-Vous,” which is given the full orchestral treatment, through the simple arrangement of “No Tomorrow.” Throughout, Ilona sings in a style that’s both lilting and mellow. Always competent, forever skillful, and proving here that she is a qualified and consummate professional.
