I Am Woman/Long Hard Climb
(2003)

by
Helen Reddy
Raven's two-fer release of Helen Reddy's I Am Woman and Long Hard Climb is typically well-produced -- well-annotated by Ian MacFarlane, remastered expertly, nicely designed, adorned by two bonus tracks, and -- above all -- focusing on two records that capture the artist at the peak of her career. All well and good, so the question is this: Is this ...

Like a Seed

more music like this
by
Kenny Rankin
On his first Little David release, Rankin almost hits full stride. His reworking of "Peaceful" brought the song, and ultimately Rankin, a wider audience. The album eschews some of the preciousness of previous efforts and has a more universal appeal. Songs like the title cut and "Stringman" spotlight Rankin's continued growth as a songwriter. His ...

I Am Woman
(1972)
more music like this
by
Helen Reddy
This was the smooth set that elevated Reddy into the superstar league, and kicked off a run of seven albums that went gold or platinum. Although this was on the strength of a beefed-up, strident re-recording of "I Am Woman," the balance of the album is good, too. Given that the writers include Don McLean, Leon Russell and Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil ...

Mind-Dusters

by
Kenny Rankin
An ideal representation of the acoustic and ethereal side of the early, winsome singer/songwriter sound, this promising debut only hints at Rankin's traditional pop and world music vision. The Tin Pan Alley and ethnic roots of the music he grew up with in New York City are obscured by his alignment with the sounds of some of the artists he covers ...

Bobbie Gentry
Australia's Raven Records knows how to deliver the reissue goods to be sure. This packaging of Bobbie Gentry's second and third albums, Delta Sweete and Local Gentry may not have been as successful as their predecessor, Ode to Billie Joe, but how could they have been? If they didn't sell near as well, they certainly were more adventurous. Banking ...

Georgie Fame
There have been several Georgie Fame compilations over the past decade, but it is this one on Raven that boils all of it down to the essence of his contribution to the Brit R&B beat-crazy scene of the 1960s and early '70s. Here are the singles, the hits, the near misses, and the worthy album cuts compiled to show the audacity, imagination, and ...

Bobbie Gentry
At two discs -- one devoted to original compositions, one to covers -- Zonophone's 2007 collection The Best of Bobbie Gentry: The Capitol Years (its subtitle is unintentionally amusing, as Gentry only recorded for Capitol) is the most comprehensive Bobbie Gentry set yet released, which isn't the same thing as the best. Not that this compilation ...

Kenny Rankin
Recorded during a 1990 concert at New York's Bottom Line, this album embodies all the ingredients that make Rankin such a great talent. In an age when many artists were successful more for their ability to look sexy or menacing while lip-synching in videos, Rankin brought a host of skills to the musical table. His lush voice, with its lilting ...

Georgie Fame
During the late '60s and early '70s, Georgie Fame was pursuing a different path than most of his British peers -- Clapton, Van Morrison, Stevie Winwood. Instead of loosening up, with longer jams and bluesier, earthier playing, Fame was actually tightening up, with the charts and jazz players to match. (Recording with big bands was about the ...

Going Home boasts a maturity and subtlety often missing from Georgie Fame's previous LPs. Its simple approach strips away some of the more gimmicky elements of his earlier efforts, emphasizing the increasingly honest soulfulness of his vocals. Keith Mansfield's thoughtful arrangements likewise eschew excess in favor of a wonderfully mellow sound ...
