Title: Mitch Miller meets Carly
Review: I am a worshipful fan of Carly Simon. Her album, My Romance, is my all-time favorite album, but Mooonlight Seranade is an awful album. Richard Perry, the producer, ought to be ashamed. The music behind Carly sounds like Mitch Miller with synthesizer. The beat is so mechanical that I suspect a drum machine was used. Clearly the tracks were pre-recorded so that when Carly went into the studio to add in the vocal, she was totally hemmed in by what had been done. Even Carly's superb voice couldn't save this album.Budget is no excuse for this travesty. The same material recorded with a trio: piano (or guitar), bass and drums would have been memorable but with a mechanized Mitch Miller feel...Lord... what was Perry thinking?!
