Swingy and cheeky, the brassy blonde triumphs on her dazzling third album. Midler-like in delivery and choice of material, Woodward is likely to be with us for a long, long time. Especially captivating are the opening blockbuster, “He Got Away,” and the chillingly insightful “Babies.” Verve Music Group (www.vervemusicgroup.com).
