I have been an admirer of Renee Geyer's singing for more than 20 years now, and I rate this as perhaps her all-time best album. Forget your Dusty Springfields et al: THIS lady is the closest thing on the planet to a black voice in a white body. And what a soulful, evocative voice it is! For me, it's dusky tones are a cross between Marianne Faithfull and Aretha Franklin. Backed by the brilliant talents of Paul Kelly and Joe (Jo Jo Zep) Camilleri, this album displays beautifully the tonal and emotional vocal range of Ms Geyer. Although it has always been great, her voice seems to get better and better with age. Sweet Life is an album you will listen to over and over, without ever getting tired of it. I would have given it 5 stars, but I like to keep some headroom in my ratings - just in case there's a better album waiting in a studio somewhere around the corner.
