I am now the proud owner of what I consider to be one of the best albums ever made...
...Parallelograms by Linda Perhacs! {I've posted about her before on this post.}
I love her song "If You Were My Man" which only appears in demo form on the album.
{Demo, my foot! Her demos sound better than most people's real songs! ;)}
Listen:
This is a demo? Man, if my rough drafts were this good, I'd already be collecting royalties from my first novel!
ReplyDeleteLinda Perhacs has a very haunting quality to her voice, though that might be partly due to the reverb effect. Also, am I right in thinking that this song and album came out in the early seventies? It has that feel to it (as does the cover art for the album). And I'm a big fan of piano music in songs. :-)
Yeah, the album came out in 1970! I think she does have a rather haunting quality to her voice and her songs.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love piano in songs. :)
