专辑介绍

by Greg Adams

&She's Got to Be a Saint& is a song about a woman who lets her man walk all over her; he repays her in the end by sneaking out as she sleeps. One wonders whether the buyers who made it a number one hit in 1973 (and a crossover pop hit as well) heard the song as a celebration of devoted womanhood rather than the depressing tale of insensitivity that it is. In any case, the song offers a degree of hard realism that holds a certain appeal. Price's age is creeping into his voice at this stage even though he was still a very popular singer with many good years ahead of him. The album She's Got to Be a Saint is made in the smoky pop and country-pop style Price began to favor in the '60s, with lots of strings and slow tempos. Price adds a touch of big-band swing to &Goin' Away& and &I Keep Looking Back& with their soft horn sections, and remakes the Louvin Brothers' &My Baby's Gone& as a mournful pop ballad worthy of Ed Ames or Reprise-era Frank Sinatra. The only unusual cut is Wayne P. Walker's &The Sweetest Tie,& and only because it borrows some of its melody from &Cold, Cold Heart.& She's Got to Be a Saint is short on variety but nicely consistent for fans of Price's ballad style.
