What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Linda's 11th, and a close call for a passing grade. Quite a drop off from her previous in sales also with a #32
showing. The leadoff track and first single was a clunker for me and only reached #29, the highest charting of the
4 singles released. Some covers, Billy Joe Royals I Knew You When, which I loved by him, does get a fair effort
here, but the Knickerbockers Lies and Tell Him by (drawing a blank) should have been left in the studio. Best for
me is Talk To Me Of Mendocino, which is a Kate McGarrigle song, so I assume it was done by her, but I don't recall
hearing it. I prefer Linda doing the softer material. In fact, I think her best albums for me were those big band
covers with Nelson Riddle. A duet with James Taylor here on I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine passes, along with a
Dolly Parton song, My Blue Tears, which features Dolly and Emmylou. Not sure if that one is on one of those albums
they did together. The album was nominated for 2 grammys losing out to Mellisa Manchester and Pat Benatar.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Lies

Best Track - Talk To Me Of Mendocino

I bid farewell to the state of old New York
My home away from home
In the state of New York I came of age
When first I started roaming
And the trees grow high in New York State
And they shine like gold in the autumn
Never had the blues from whence I came
But in New York State I got 'em

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me

And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
Flat out on the western plain
Rise up over the Rockies
And down on into California
Out to where but the rocks remain
And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I'll rise with it till I rise no more

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me
