CD Reviews

Masterpiece.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Why it took so long to release this on CD is a mystery. The provenance is amazing -- Van Dyke Parks is here, along with many well-known L.A. studio musicians, not to mention some of Ry Cooder's greatest bottleneck work. But best of all is Pamela Polland's voice, as soulful as any of the era on songs like "Reelin' in Love," maybe a little reminiscent of another underrated great, Beverly Bivens of We Five. Polland's voice is so vulnerable and commanding at once it can just tear you up. Gentle Soul has a kind of stately, medieval quality in lyrics and delivery, and the harmonies between Polland and Rick Stanley simply soar. California mystical, slightly psychedelic folk-rock at its absolute peak. I wore out two copies on vinyl before this one finally arrived. Thank you Sundazed!"
