Second post: an interesting LP from Kansas City lounge singer Kay Dennis, who seems to have rounded up an effective bunch of local musicians at Cavern Studios to record her debut (and only?) LP of jazzy pop covers. According to this Cavern Custom Records discography, Pearce Records was a vanity imprint of Cavern Sound Studios of Independence, Missouri, along with Cavern Custom Records and Cave Records. Cavern Studios was located in an actual cave, according to information provided by area musician Bob Theen to garagehangover.com.
Kay Dennis' LP is especially notable for a groovy 7:45 cover of the Doors' "Light My Fire" and a great drum/clapping break on a cover of the Bacharach/David composition "Walk on By." The rest of the album is also a very enjoyable listen, apart from Dennis' histrionics on closer "Impossible Dream," which are charming in their own (extremely irritating) way, clawing the listener back to harsh reality after a pleasant half hour spent with Kay and the boys.
