Title: BIG DISSAPOINTMENT
Review: Karen carpenter's solo album can best be described as a wacky,directionless recording session. No one can honestly say that this is a good album.-and that is the basic reason it wasn't released in 1980.This album tries to pass karen off as a top 40 pop-rock singer and she's NOT a top 40 pop-rock singer.Karen Carpenter is a torch singer-and this should have been the album that solidified her standing in the jazz world.(next to her peers Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney).The material on this album is very weak,her vocals are too high on several songs and the overall production is poor.(although I admit "if we try" is a good track-minus the rousing horn solos).What amazes me is that a horrible album like this was recorded right after a masterpiece like CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT.
Is this product review negative?
