...ain't she cute...
...plenty of the former, but she can use a lot more of the latter. This album suffers from trying to make her sound less country, which is as hopeless as trying to make Frank Church sound less pompous. The worst numbers (it's a tough choice) are "Ain't That a Shame", a pathetic attempt at a rock number, and "Makin' Love Don't Always Make Love Grow" (honest, folks). Tanya has a rich, explosive voice, but until she quits trying to be a female Elvis Presley (she said it, not me), her records just make good Frisbees...

Kramer's "Notion" is a slick dance to a slick song, picking up its title from Billie Holiday's croon, "If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean, ain't nobody's business if I do." Kramer uses her own slinky way of moving to draw the sinuous lines of Holiday's lament. At one point she cooly trails her index finger along the floor, then follows its path with the rest of her lankiness...
...good band playing good music. It is no coincidence that the Stones' last album and its leading cut are entitled "It's Only Rock and Roll" (the refrain: "and I like it, like it, yes I do").

Unable to sustain their Pop myth, they ask (with false modesty) to be accepted just like any other rock and roll band. But no matter what...
...been reading about Mr. Collier and what he says about crowding in Mather House. His numbers are kind of confusing, and I ain't so good at math. But I measured my bedroom today, and it was 100 inches wide, 94 inches long, and 941/2 inches high...
