It seemed as though most of the WMOT members attending today’s Wired In concert at the City Winery were there to hear the impeccable harmonies of I’m With Her, but Yola (one name only) was a revelation.

Previewing her new album “Walk Through Fire’ – to be released tomorrow – Yola elicited quick comparisons to the ’70s soul of Dusty Springfield, no small accomplishment. Her sound isn’t retro, but it is reflective of an era in which vocal prowess and compelling melodies dominated the airwaves.

The new album was produced by Dan Auerbach in Nashville, and includes guest spots by Vince Gill and Dan Penn. Yola is special.
