Album Notes & Community Reviews
Compiled and finally released after a long period of label-related delays, this collection captures the transitional period of the iconic jazz-rock vocalist following her departure from Brian Auger and the Trinity. The music presents a sophisticated, slightly experimental shift toward singer-songwriter territories, blending introspective folk with experimental, psychedelic-influenced jazz-rock backing. It serves as a fascinating, often overlooked portrait of an artist evolving in the post-mod era.
