Denhert uses the lush soft-pop folk influence as a focal point to craft the twelve tunes on Lucky 7. She shares a version of “Over the Rainbow,” a popular favourite for singers to create their own spin of (after the extraordinary success of the blended song with “What a Wonderful World” as sung by Iz Kamakawiwo’ole – If you haven’t heard it, you NEED to track it down). Denhert’s version is a smoky-jazz tune that adds favourably to the song’s long line of variable versions. “He’s Not Coming Home” is a brilliantly bittersweet piece with a Roberta Flack feel that will have you returning to the song frequently. Its theme of severed friendships because of time and space separations will hit home to many.

Lucky 7 deserves attention for it is a grand collection of superior songs that not only sound great but also have important things to share; things that we all have in out heart’s closets. I’m suggesting the album to help open those closets and as a moment to encourage the enjoyment of the bittersweet aspects of life and its many revered memories, even if they bring forth a few sighs. Denhert’s refreshing approach to old-school styles of folk, blues, and jazz is the highlight of Lucky 7. Every track is an experience with life and a heart-felt love affair with the respected music to convey the depths of that raging river.
