Title: lush, sensuous and pure pop
Review: At the time of its recording, Hotcakes was one of the most expensive records ever made. Producer Richard Perry contributed a lush setting peopled with the best session musos and other stars to accompany one of Simon's best collections of songs. The singing is fabulous - Simon's ever distinctive voice sounds rich and carefree. The only song I have trouble listening to now is the duet with James Taylor of Mockingbird - for me it just jars with the senuality of the rest of the record, but hey, its still a good song. Hotcakes generally shows Simon at her best: sensuous, songwriting earth mother with a sublime pop voice showcased by Richard Perry's distinctive pop/rock production.
