专辑介绍

by William Ruhlmann

This discount-priced British compilation does a good job of assembling the highlights of Mama Cass Elliot's catalog on the Dunhill Records label, 1968-70, which was her most commercially successful material. (She also charted in 1971 with the duo album Dave Mason & Cass Elliot on Blue Thumb Records and recorded three albums for RCA Victor Records, 1971-73, none of which made the charts.) Almost all of her chart singles as a solo artist are included, which is to say, the Top 20 hit revival &Dream a Little Dream of Me& (recorded while she was still a member of the Mamas & the Papas); the Top 40 hits &It's Getting Better& (Top Ten in the U.K.) and &Make Your Own Kind of Music& (both written by the Brill Building team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil); the chart entries &New World Coming& (also written by Mann/Weil), &Move in a Little Closer, Baby,& and &California Earthquake& (written by John Hartford); and the movie theme &The Good Times Are Coming& (from the Lee Marvin film Monte Walsh), which reached the Top 20 on the easy listening chart. (Two other singles with minor chart success are missing: &A Song That Never Comes,& which grazed the Hot 100, and &Don't Let the Good Life Pass You By,& which made the easy listening chart.) The album is filled out with interesting LP cuts, such as Delaney Bramlett's &Lady Love,& Laura Nyro's &He's a Runner,& and a revival of &I Can Dream, Can't I?& done in an arrangement similar to the one for &Dream a Little Dream of Me& that was actually issued as a B-side single and probably should have been the A-side. Elliot's strong, well-rounded voice is surrounded by lush pop orchestrations on most of these tracks, which sometimes lean a little toward Dixieland jazz, ragtime, or country, but always have a light, happy tone, even when the lyrics are not entirely sunny.
