专辑介绍

by Heather Phares

The title track of Timi Yuro's third album, What's a Matter Baby, was one of her biggest hits, both on the charts and in terms of sound: more than once, Yuro's voice saturates the song, sending recording gauges (and eardrums) into the red. Yuro's big, beautiful, powerful voice lent itself to a variety of settings; aside from the soulful &What's a Matter Baby& and &Hurt,& she tackled more mature-sounding orchestral pop, country-pop, and other styles, many of which are represented here. While the more staid &It's Too Soon to Know,& &Guess Who,& and &For Your Love& feel a little dated now, Yuro's performances inject them with enough passion to keep them sounding vital. Meanwhile, the country, soul, and rock-influenced tracks like the gently bittersweet &I Waited Too Long& (originally a hit for LaVern Baker) and the livelier &If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody,& &Hallelujah, I Love Him So,& and &Should I Ever Love Again& still have a lot to offer modern ears, even if they're not among her all-time best work. &That's Right, Walk On By,& however, is one of Yuro's brightest moments, and her version of &Fever& remains striking in its simplicity. Admirably, What's a Matter Baby doesn't feature one song after another that sounds like the hit single it supports, and it comes closer to being a full-fledged album than the works of many of her contemporaries. [The 2004 RPM reissue also features four bonus tracks, including 1962's &The Love of a Boy& and &I Ain't Gonna Cry No More& and the following year's &If I Never Get to Love You& and &Insult to Injury.&]
