While her compositions have been recorded by artists as diverse as Suzy Bogguss, Garth Brooks, Bette Midler, and Linda Thompson, Wheeler's burnished alto, nimble guitar playing, and sly sense of humor insure that she will always be her own best interpreter. Standout tracks on Defying Gravity, like the bittersweet "Summer's Almost Over," the aching opener "Since You've Been Gone," and the careful character study "Alice," are defined equally by Wheeler's gifts as a writer and performer. "On the Plane" and "It's the Phone," both recorded live in concert at the now-defunct Bottom Line in New York City, are priceless examples of Wheeler the satirist. Taken as a whole, Defying Gravity paints a portrait of a performer and composer continuing to discover rewarding new avenues in her finely-developed craft.

1959年出生的Suzanne Vega 似乎始终保持着优雅仪态,1951年出生的Cheryl Wheeler 已经不折不扣是位大妈了。但是听到她的歌依然会觉得无比美好,一个人,一把琴,娓娓动听的吟唱。有种阳光下舒展的感觉,就像现在的她,还是抱着吉他,笑,歌唱,一点不在乎岁月、身材和皱纹。
