I mean, those album covers are priceless, aren't they? What do you think of the cat chasing the butterfly? And the static electricity bad hair on Magic?
I skip over her first album which I found to be uninspired folk rock of the most generic kind. Her discography is here. This is more of that seventies pop rock I can't get enough of, less folky than the earlier Leslie Duncan, but with nice moments. She progresses to get harder, more electric, and more uptempo by 1977. The best album is the middle one with the crazy cover. Title track of Magic is really instrumental Magic for sure:

Thanks
DeleteThanks for these, Julian. I, too, can't get enough of a certain style of 70s pop-rock. Parts of Blue Sailor recall to me the sound of Jimmy Thudpucker and the Walden West Rhythm Section. (Same year, in fact).
ReplyDeleteShe had a striking look, a quirky voice, talent on the 12-string gtr, wrote songs, and was surrounded by LA musicians in an LA studio. The die-cut design and artwork for "Butterfly" was particularly imaginative, prob because it was her A&M debut. A St Louis radio station used to feature the songs "High" and "Chocolate Candy", but nothing of hers has ever been released in a digital format to my knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
