Music reviews of Cass Elliot/ The Road Is No Place For A Lady
Music Review: The Road To Revelation
Rating: 5 Stars
2 Cass Elliot albums on CD , plus bonus tracks is a real bonafide gift. The wait was long for the second of the 2 albums, THE ROAD IS NO PLACE FOR A LADY, to be released on CD. It has absolutely been worth the incredibly long wait for this album to be released on CD. Both albums have been remastered by the ORIGINAL producer, Lewis Merenstein, which is amazing in itself. After listening to the original album for 35 years, the sound of this great album on CD is stunning. All the songs sound much clearer, with Cass' voice front and center, as it should have been back in 1972. The liner notes explain that the mixes for the album had some problems. Well, now you can listen in splendor to all the songs the way that it should have sounded. [ IF YOU'RE GONNA ] BREAK ANOTHER HEART immediately sounds different with Cass out front. On the vinyl album, her voice was buried in all the strings and orchestration. You can discern the differences on every song on here , and the results are a revelation. If Beatles fans have been waiting so long for clarity, Cass and Mamas and Papas fans can revel in the sound of both of these albums getting remastered for CD after decades of waiting.
THE ROAD ... sounds like hearing these songs fresh for the first time. On WALK WITH ME, you can hear Cass singing solo , and not just blending in with the background singers. DOES ANYBODY LOVE YOU, SAY HELLO, SATURDAY SUIT , LOVE WAS NOT A WORD - each one of these Cass classics sound amazing. They all could and should have been hits. One of the most astonishing differences is on OH BABE WHAT WOULD YOU SAY. This song sounds totally different with a remix of Cass right out front. On the vinyl album, Cass' voice was drowned out by the piano . On this honky-tonk number , you can hear that old familiar sound that Cass did so well , in a totally new way, the way that it was meant to be heard. It closes with possibly one of Cass' strongest vocal performances ever, THE ROAD IS NO PLACE FOR A LADY. On this stark arrangement only with a violin and piano, you can clearly hear Cass give voice to the instrument that shone her talents so amazingly. It's depth lyrically and musically is one of Cass' high artistic points in her career. Truly, hearing this entire album finally remastered on CD is the manna from heaven for Cass fans.
CASS ELLIOT, her 1972 debut album for RCA after her albums on ABC/Dunhill sounds better than ever also. This is the 3rs time it's been issued on CD, and you can hear nuances that are not on either the 1988 US or the 90's Japan issues. This album is one of Cass' greatest albums. She was given the freedom to be herself, and sing a variety of genres . Sumptuously produced, every song on here is unique and a classic. Pop , oldies, ballads, and a touch of jazz and blues are all over this album, regarded as possibly her best album. Every song is classic Cass, with contemporary pop like JESUS WAS A CROSS MAKER, I THINK IT'S GOING TO RAIN TODAY, and CHERRIES JUBILEE [ what a song, arrangement, production and singing on this classic ] being some of my favorites. Even old familiar songs like BABY I'M YOURS and IT'S ALL IN THE GAME are given new arrangements from the 60's oldies. You can hear the differences in the remastering on this version too, particularly on I'LL BE HOME and Bobby Darin's I'LL BE THERE. As with THE ROAD IS NO PLACE FOR A LADY, one of the best songs on here was written by Leah Kunkel, Cass' sister. WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK OUT is a beautiful heartbreaking ballad with jazz and blues influences, that again is one of Cass' career high marks.
What more could you want? How about 3 bonus tracks! WE'LL SEE is a John Sebastian song that has an old-time feel. EAST OF THE SUN WEST OF THE MOON gets it's first US release [ it was only on a UK Cass collection ] and it's a traditional jazz tune. the 3rd bonus track is Cass covering a Motown song, TRY IT A BABY. One of Cass' favorite singers was Marvin Gaye, and hear her sing this 1964 Marvin hit is amazing. PLus, you get expertly written & detailed liner notes and photos. After the long wait, the producers of this reissue did a perfect job at restoring 2 of the albums of one of the greatest singers who ever sang a song. Every Cass and Mamas and Papas, and music fan should have this CD.
Description of Cass Elliot/ The Road Is No Place For A Lady
This is a very special reissue for us at Collectors Choice Music, and it s not just because we re restoring to availability some classic albums that have been gathering dust in the vaults (that s standard operating procedure around here)! No, it s also because, as Cass Elliot s daughter Owen put it to us, these albums were by far the most representative of her mother s artistic vision, as Cass, freed from the commercial strictures at ABC/Dunhill, the Mamas & Papas old label, was given free reign by RCA to select her own repertoire and collaborators. The result was two absolute gems, both of which have been mysteriously absent from CD ('Cass Elliot' has been out of print for years, 'The Road', her final studio album, has never been on CD at all). Plus, we ve added unreleased bonus tracks a full portrait of an artist at the top of her game! Arranged and conducted by Benny Golson, Cass Elliot includes I ll Be Home; Baby I m Yours; Jesus Was a Cross Maker; That Song; When It Doesn t Work Out; I ll Be There; Disney Girls; I Think It s Going to Rain Today; Cherries Jubilee, and All in the Game, plus the bonus tracks East of the Sun (and West of the Moon); We ll See, and Try It Baby. The Road, which features Chris Spedding on guitar among other luminaries, includes (If You re Gonna) Break Another Heart; Saturday Suit; Does Anybody Love You; Walk Beside Me; All My Life; Say Hello; Who in the World; Love Was Not a Word; Oh Babe, What Would You Say; The Road Is No Place for a Lady, and the unreleased bonus track Don t Make Me a Memory.
