Helen Reddy's No Way to Treat a Lady/Music, Music is the fourth installment of Raven's admirably packaged two-fer releases, and contains those 1975 and 1976 albums, in their entirety, plus one rare bonus track ("One Way Ticket" from 1968). No Way to Treat a Lady contains the titular Top Ten hit and a host of other, primarily piano-driven, ballads (like the Neil Sedaka-penned "Don't Let It Mess Your Mind" and the Paul Williams/Kenny Ascher gem "You Know Me"), as well as some forays into country-pop, bossa nova, and blues. Music, Music is a decidedly more eclectic and upbeat affair, pulling in stylistic cues from all over the place. There are breezy, Bacharach-ian excursions ("Gladiola," "You Make It So Easy"), bluesy numbers ("Get Off Me Baby," "Ladychain"), light country ("Mama"), jazzy ballads (Paul Williams' torchy contribution, "Nice to Be Around"), and even a little Philly soul ("I Can't Hear You No More"). Reddy tackles them all with admirable gusto and shows a grittier side than she had on her previous albums. Looking at the songwriting credits, it is obvious that there are some heavy hitters contributing here, but there are quite a few exceptional studio musicians in tow as well -- most notably, future Toto founders Jeff Porcaro, David Hungate, and David Paich. After a long string of streamlined, ultra-successful albums, No Way to Treat a Lady and (especially) Music, Music provide Reddy with a chance to move a bit outside of her strictly ballad-oriented repertoire and show her to be a commendably versatile vocalist. ~ J. Scott McClintock

MORE THAN PHYSICAL comes in a box consisting of the CD HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW and a 150-page book: OLIVIA--MORE THAN PHYSICAL: A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MELLOW is also available separately on CD on Griffin (373-2).
This early release from singer Olivia Newton-John showcases her country-pop mode, with "Have You Ever Been Mellow," "Goodbye Again," and others showing off her refined vocal grace.
The hit single "Have You Never Been Mellow" carried Olivia Newton-John right back to number one, six months after "I Honestly Love You" brought the singer to that coveted position for the first time. The title track is a masterpiece of songwriting by her producer, John Farrar, an exquisitely pleasant melody with a sunny and peaceful theme. Having ...

No Way To Treat A Lady
$19.99 
Raven's two-fer release of Helen Reddy's I Am Woman and Long Hard Climb is typically well-produced -- well-annotated by Ian MacFarlane, remastered expertly, nicely designed, adorned by two bonus tracks, and -- above all -- focusing on two records that capture the artist at the peak of her career. All well and good, so the question is this: Is this solely for the diehards or will those who like "I Am Woman" and know nothing else also enjoy this two-fer? The answer is yes, they should enjoy I Am Woman/Long Hard Climb, but it's a qualified ...

No Way To Treat A Lady
$14.79
It's no accident that so many of the songs on the first album by the Potato Eaters are about death, transcendence, and ghosts; the members of this band had all played with Philip "Snakefinger" Lithman, and most of these songs were written just after his shocking death. The title of the best song here, "As You Are Now We Once Were," comes from the sign over a Roman catacomb that Potato Eaters bassist and lyricist Ben Guy had visited with Snakefinger the day before he died. It would seem from that description that these songs would all be rather morbid, but they aren't -- many have a spooky, ethereal atmosphere, but there are relieved ...

Nickel Creek guitarist/vocalist Sean Watkins put the Grande Ole Opry behind him with Blinders On, a 15-track foray into pop, rock, and the wonders of digital recording. From the opening Adrian Belew-esque guitar loop on "Summer's Coming" to the angsty, mandolin-led love song "Whipping Boy" -- the latter evolves into a full-on flat-picked guitar and cello jam about five minutes in -- it's clear that the shy, quiet Nickel Creek guitar player is coming out of his shell. Like fellow Creek members Chris Thile and sister Sara Watkins, Sean is a musical sponge ...
| | Motors Tenement Steps CD (1980) (Import) Import; Canada
No Way To Treat A Lady
$17.69
After the release of their second album, Approved by the Motors, the Motors were reduced to a duo after the departure of drummer Rick Slaughter Wernham and guitarist Bram Tchaikovsky. As most casual power pop and new wave fans know, Bram went on to slightly bigger and better things as a solo artist, taking the Motors' guitar-driven sound with him. Although the band had introduced keyboards on their second album, fans were not prepared for the synth sounds that dominated Tenement Steps, their third and final album. Although an enjoyable, if not entirely consistent, release, the duo of Nick Garvey (guitar/keyboards/vocals) and Andy McMaster (bass/guitar/keyboard/vocals) overextended their talents, creating an ambitiously over-produced album that sounded -- ambitiously overproduced! Garvey and McMaster were still great songwriters, but the songs got lost in a synthesized Spector-like wall of '80s sound. In other words, the Motors one-hit machine was running low on fuel. Keyboards seemed to drive the songs, with guitars added to the mix almost as an afterthought. For a debut album this would have been a fairly impressive feat, but for the Motors, it was step backwards while they were trying to make that crucial stop forwards. The triumphant "Love and Loneliness," the album's opener, remains one of the band's finest moments, although its chorus sounds suspiciously similar to Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With." "That's What John Said," another of the album's three singles, is a standard rock & roll number dressed up in slick '80s production, and is one chord away from being fantastic. "Metropolis" (another single) and "Slum People" are average songs with overactive imaginations, awash in huge, swooping production ...
