Title: Jane at her Darkest and Moodiest
Review: Following up on the brilliant "First Night," Olivor's sophomore album "Chasing Rainbows" shows her at her darkest and moodiest -- very much the chanteuse. There is much to like here -- the heartrending "It's Over, Goodbye", the charming "The French Waltz", the vibrant "The Big Parade." The material here doesn't rise to the level of "First Night" and the band/arrangements get a bit sluggish and the producer lets Jane oversing a bit, esp. on "Come In From the Rain." But still a worthy effort. It's too bad that Columbia skimped on the packaging for this as the incredible Norman Seeff picture of Jane is SO small (and you miss the second Seeff photo which headed up the back of the album).
