“Doris Day is an emblem of sunshine, communion with nature and animals, and common civility… In a time when cynicism rules, her eager humanity is ever more precious…” – Nellie McKay, The New York Times Book Review
“Ms. McKay, whose voice is blithe and supple, is a Doris Day fan, but a knowing one, well aware of the distance from Ms. Day's era to ours. There's yearning, wryness, and ingenuity in her arrangements.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times
“ Thanks to (McKay), the Great American Songbook has a living, breathing present as well as a glorious past.” – Joan Anderman, The Boston Globe
Even with birthdays separated by 60 years and 10 days, entertainers Nellie McKay and Doris Day are cut from the same cloth. The two share a passion for animal rights, a sunny gosh–gee–swell positivity and a love for the Great American Songbook—as well as a depth, complexity and progressivism that belies the toothy grins for which both are known.
