Title: Nope.
Product review: This album really doesn't work. I've been a life long Babs fan and have most of her records. The gap in my collection is most of her 1970's output. I recently purchased this on amazon because I hadn't heard it in a long while and read some of the positive reviews. So I played it a couple of times and realized it's just as bad as I remember it. For me, the only songs that work are Lazy Afternoon, which is really superb; Moanin' Low is fun, but suffers from a clunky arrangement; and A Child Is Born, which I have always enjoyed.I think that Barbra was in a state of confused musical identity during much of the 1970's and was really grasping at straws for most of the decade. This album suffers from sub-standard material and really crappy arrangements. Why, oh why did she waste her time with Rupert Holmes??????? Most of the album is a throw away, in my opinion. I think that Stoney End and The Way We Were studio album are her two best from that era.
