Dorothy can sing it sweet, with grit, with zing, with smoke, with salt. The title is Southern Exposure but this is Doring Exposed, a gem of many facets, polished to a fine sheen and bathing a different color a different shading at every turn.
Minnesota based singer Dorothy Doring frequently draws from the well of Big Easy inspiration. She recorded her CD "Southern Exposure" here with local keyboard wizard David Torkanowsky as musical director and producer.
Every song, (Compositions w/Phil Mattson) in every sense of style and sound and musical grace is a little miracle. This is one of the finest partnerships to pop up in a long time.

Doring's delightful soulful voice collaborates well with Phil Mattson's keen lyrical sense and harmonic base from which Doring and Mattson work together hand in glove.
