Turning Point: Matador
by Woodrow Wilkins
Turning Point is a small group with a big sound.

Sara Gazarek: Yours

And a small part of me was rooting ...
Dan Siegel: Inside Out

Siegel is such a mellow mood on his first new studio CD in six years that if you're not completely relaxed after his latest, you should probably get your money ...
