		Grace Darling is your standard tenor sax-playing vocalist, and Imaginary Lover is just another one of those discs where the leader plays tenor sax and sings in front of New Orleans funk-gospel backbeats.
		Darling's vocals are stylistically more pop- than jazz-oriented, but check out the beginning of “You're My Imaginary Lover,” which sounds a little like the startup of “Stairway to Heaven.” Darling can communicate a feeling with the best of them (This track was co-written, by the way, by Al Kooper, the giant of Sixties electric blues).
		Darling doesn't pick up the saxophone until the fourth track, “Going Nowhere Fast,” but she plays it on all six of the remaining tracks.
