Eleanor Grant's album You Oughta Be Here With Me Tap Dancing For A Blind Man is a soulful and heartfelt collection of songs that showcases her impressive vocal range and songwriting abilities. The album is a mix of jazz, blues, and soul, with each track telling a unique story and conveying a range of emotions.

The opening track, "You Oughta Be Here With Me," sets the tone for the album with its smooth jazz sound and Grant's sultry vocals. The title track, "Tap Dancing For A Blind Man," is a standout, with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. "Every Time We Say Goodbye" is a beautiful rendition of the classic Cole Porter song, with Grant's vocals conveying the sadness and longing in the lyrics.

Throughout the album, Grant's vocals are accompanied by a talented group of musicians, including pianist Eric Reed and saxophonist Bob Sheppard. The production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal perfectly balanced in the mix.
