Music reviews of A Song for You
Music Review: One of their best albums
Rating: 5 Stars
Containing four of their classic songs, this album served to further enhance the already considerable reputation of the Carpenters.
Tony Peluso plays the incredible guitar solo on Goodbye to love. He subsequently worked with the Carpenters for several years, acting as DJ on the oldies medley on Now and then, the follow-up album to this one and again on the intro to Calling occupants of interplanetary craft, on Passage.
The Carpenters never planned to release Top of the world as a single but Lynn Anderson (who had a worldwide hit with Rose garden the year before) recorded a version for the country market and it was a huge success in the country charts. Meanwhile, the original Carpenters version was released as a single in Japan, where it went gold. The Carpenters finally got the message and released their version as a single elsewhere.
Two other world-famous classics (Hurting each other, I won't last a day without you) helped to ensure the success of the album. Other highlights here include the title track, It's going to take some time and Bless the beasts and children.
Richard Carpenter says that this is one of his two favorite Carpenters albums. It's not difficult to see why.
