Title: Definitely Not Dory's Best Work
Product review: If you're not familiar with Dory Previn's story, she is well worth a Google or a quick scan on You Tube. If you want to give her a spin, I recommend "On My Way to Where" as a musical and accessible entry point into her work. On the other hand, "Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign" seems to map sonic territory that is probably best left unexplored. This is a strident-sounding LP powered by an incompetent mix that does nothing to grace Dory's naturally-thin voice. I doubt that the increased sonic resolution of a CD would improve the situation. That's bad enough. Worse, the psychologically-loaded word play that makes some of her other albums so charming seems to coagulate into a pretentiously-introspective dirge on "Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign". Buyer beware.
