Monica Tornell in 1974's Don't Give a Damn

 




Information on this one here. Might be a good idea not to look too closely at the cover photo which shows to some grooming extent that she really doesn't give a damn.

I was surprised the beautiful track An Angel Died was written by country singer Bobbie Gentry (of Ode for Billie Joe fame and I'm pretty sure I don't want to hear her version):




And this album is a mixed bag, with John Lennon's (highly overplayed) Jealous Guy making an appearance, she does try to hard rock it out on certain tracks with mixed success especially vocally, though the "Weekend" composition is pretty listenable, this album, on the whole, does feature one of the single worst songs I've ever heard in recent years, the title track which is atrociously repetitive to the point where by the end she even starts laughing as she keeps repeating don't give a damn, I mean you have to hear it to believe it folks.

  2. Thanks Julian, I kinda like this soul rock in a Genya Raven vibe. Do you also have Bush Lady? Best,
