Superb fourth album, bare but sparkling, steeped in her vaudevillian take on Americana, rawly confessional and beautifully voiced as ever — a mid-thirties heartful of fierce discontent.
From 1971, contemporary settings of Handel, illuminated by psychedelic guitar, flute and electric piano, and a break-happy, funky rhythm section. Carol Kaye plays bass; Cannonball Adderley conducts the 38-piece orchestra (fresh from his own Black Messiah sessions). The gospelised choral sections carry the swing, as seems right.
‘In these recordings without amplification I could hear the natural resonance of the instruments and the subtleties in the vocals. They also played songs not heard in the dance halls: haunting, sad songs.’
