Music Review: David Cassidy's Departure is One of His Best!
Rating: 5 Stars
Finally, 22 years after it's initial release on LP on the now defunct Bell label, this collection makes it's debut on Japan's BMG label and it's well worth the wait and it's relatively high price sticker. This is Cassidy's third solo effort on the Bell label, home to all of the Partridge Family's recordings. This was the last LP released as a single recording for Cassidy, aside from the sadly yet unreleased "Cassidy Live" LP and his Greatest Hits. It is one of his first truly creative departures and contains some of his most soulful smokey vocals at their best. A truly mature, beautifully produced LP with a twist. The recording begins with an opening overture from the ending title "Hold On Me" which is minimalistic in music and showcases David's fine vocals and then segues into the piano pumping John Sebastian remake of the classic "Daydream" which David embraces and makes his own in an original honky tonk style.The single tune is followed by David's friend, song writer Tony Romeo's (writer of Partridge's smash "I Think I Love You")original "Sing Me" a great single release-worthy tune which was penned especially for David and was biographical in nature and lovingly rendered here. Next comes an homage to his father Jack Cassidy, the song "Bali H'ai" from the musical "South Pacific" which his father did on stage. A beautiful heartfelt redition followed by the tempo bulding sexually charged "Mae". Fittingly, next comes Cassidy's smokey version of the oft-copied "Fever" which David also makes his own. Another remake of a Partridge hit follows with Tony Romeo's "Summer days" which Cassidy already had a hit with the Partridge Family. The arrangements are different and th tempo changed but is more befitting this cleverly crafted set. Another gem here is David's version of Harry Nilsson's "The Puppy Song" one of my personal favorite's is a cutesy fun loving tune with a beautiful player piano sound in the background which adds to the daydreamer fantasy quality of the whole LP itself. The ninth selection is a remake of Terry Dempsey's "Daydreamer" a vocal masterpiece which tioghtens up the overall dreamlike quality of the selection. "Some Ol' Woman" is another fun loving sexually charged innuendo of a tome. Two of the biggest musical achievements by Cassidy are saved for the ending of the LP. Cassidy co-penned these tunes with songwriting married duo Kim Carnes and Dave Ellington. "Can't Go Home Again" and "Preying On My Mind" are two of my all time favorites by Cassidy and goes to show the true underlying talent of this artist that was long overlooked by the critics. Both are heart wretching tales of loss of love and innocence that Cassidy then felt. Two of the best from the heart of this truly talented artist. The CD wraps up with "Hold On Me" a great tune with solid meaningful lyrics. The LP has had a love/hate relationship with Cassidy fans everywhere. I t is a true departure from anything he had done to that point but in itself is a true musical achievement and in its time did not receive its proper attention it well deserves. Hopefully here,in this form as a re-release, it will receive the true acknowledgement it more than richly deserves whereas it is a undisputable milestone in this truly talented performer's career. A great CD which could make a believer out of the Cassidy detractors everywhere. A bluesy jazz oriented album for the discriminating tastes out there. Buy this CD! It's well worth the price of admission. A musical journey! Don't just listen, check out the lyrics, they are well worth your time. Rarely does an artist bare their soul so freely as this. This is David Cassidy!
