Behind The Smiles is a wonderful compilation of 11 original and cover songs, opening with the Isaac Hayes' classic “Déjà Vu,” popularized by Dionne Warwick. She ends with “Song Of Praise/It Is Well,” a beautiful marriage of songs. One of her proudest moments is shared on “Mixed Signals,” when her daughter Lauren Highsmith sings background vocals with Lori and scats at the end. You'll want to hear the progressive sounds and creative prowess. Lori offers sultry deliveries on “The Island” (Ivan Lins) and “Through Your Eyes/Iris” (Wayne Shorter, Music/Lori Williams, Lyrics).
