AMG Review of Eye to Eye

Tim Griggs
All Music Guide

Deborah Berg has a voice so clean that you feel as if you have taken a long bath after listening to this album. Berg, along with her Eye To Eye partner, keyboardist Julian Marshall, are impressive songwriting and performing talents. In fact, "Nice Girls," which was a Top 40 hit, is a pop music masterpiece. A who's who of studio musicians are all over this album, including Chuck Rainey, Elliot Randall, Jim Keltner, Abraham Laboriel, and Dean Parks, in addition to Rick Derringer, Timothy B. Schmit, and the late, great Jeff Porcaro. Produced by Gary Katz of Steely Dan production fame (Donald Fagen also makes a guest appearance), Eye To Eye's debut release is almost as stunning as any of the Dan's albums. Unfortunately, the pinheads at Warner Brothers have never released this album on compact disc in the United States (though it may be available in Japan).
