Music reviews of Don't Call Me Mama Anymore
Music Review: A confident, self-assuerd Cass just hitting her stride!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have listened to this CD many times and like many reviewers I am still struck by the quality of the sound. I will swear that I am in the same room with Cass Elliott as she belts out these tunes! Cass is truly in control of her performance and she seems able to lead her audience in any direction she wishes. Indeed, her rapport with her audience is excellent; this CD includes two "raps" (times when she speaks) with the audience. She talks about a recent knee injury, making light of her having to temporarily use a cane to share something of her personal life with her fans. She also reminisces about the clubs called "basket houses" in which she sang early on in her career--it was considered a "big night" if she made six dollars. Ha!
The CD is actually a live recording of Cass's performance at a Chicago nightclub called Mister Kelly's. There is also a studio recording of Cass singing "I Think A Lot About You." I agree with fellow reviewers who write that it's so tragic that Cass seems to be just hitting her stride when she passed away from a very untimely death.
There are GREAT songs on this CD that demand our attention. In particular, Cass sings the song entitled "My Love" written by Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda; while "Don't Call Me Mama Anymore" is very personal and well as beautifully arranged. "The Night Before" is awesome. She sings "I'll Be Seeing You" and "I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues" written by Harold Arlen (who wrote "Over The Rainbow") and Koehler-Warner. The "Theme From L'Amour" is both catchy and playful, too.
The liner notes by Richard Barton Campbell are extensive and very informative. Between the song set and the liner notes a person can really get to know a lot about Cass Elliott--as well as what she wanted to do with her life had she lived longer. Campbell writes how Cass quit high school just two weeks before graduation to rush to New York to seriously pursue a show business career; how Cass actually despised being called "Mama" Cass; and to support what he writes Richard Campbell peppers his liner notes with Cass' own words. A clever writer! The liner notes include photos of Cass including a picture of an 8 track tape of this performance. Ooooh, an 8 track tape of a Cass Elliott performance--nostalgia!
In short, the song set from this concert reflects an optimistic, emotionally healthier Cass ready to reach new heights in her career and her relationships, too. Yes, maybe Cass didn't live too long after this album was released; but I somehow get the feeling that she still managed to accomplish a type of self-fulfillment than some people ever experience in their entire "normal life-spans." We are all better off for Cass Elliott being amongst us in the 1960s and the early 1970s. Bravo, Cass Elliott! She went out a winner and with songs like "Listen To The World" she taught us much.
I recommend this CD for fans of The Mamas and The Papas, pop music, and people who want to get better acquainted with Cass Elliott's talent.
