OK, but better was to come.......2007-03-16

It's a tough world for female vocalists in the rock/pop business, but Valerie Carter had the best possible start here. In addition to her superb vocals, she had the backing of a stellar line-up of backing vocalists and musicians who included, to name just some, Linda Ronstadt, Lowell George, Fred Tackett and Jackson Browne.

This 1977 album doesn't (quite) live up to these credentials, but Valerie Carter was to produce a far, far better album, 'Wild Child' (1978), in the following year. Her excellent 1996 CD, 'The Way It Is', is well worth buying, too.

little gem.......2006-07-16

The stark, fragile beauty of Carter's performance of the late Lowell George's little known song, "Heartache" (see album: "Thanks, I'll Eat it Here"; his band, Little Feat), alone, makes this album worth having. One has to have lived hard and lost sufficiently in order to interpret another's despair so well... Backing vocals are simply stunning on this cut, as well. Transcendent.

A Lost Treasure.......2006-01-30

I first heard of Valerie Cater with her version of Ooh Child. It was featured during the end credits of the 1979 film Over The Edge. I fell in love with it and for years wanted to find a recording of it. Having purchased the film on DVD and listening to the song again, on a whim I did the search here for Valerie's work.

To my delight, I found this CD. Upon purchasing and listening to it, I found out just how talented this lady is. Along with Ooh Child: Ringing Doorbells in the Rain and Face of Appalachia are my favorite tracks. Somehow, City Lights is sort of an odd song, not really fitting in with the feel of the rest of the tracks on the CD. But nevertheless an exceptional album.

I hope everyone will find that Lost Treasure CD they so want. With this, I know I have!

An old friend.......2006-01-29

This album was my favorite at least 30 years ago. I remember discovering Valerie Carter back then and feeling like she sang my life. Over the years I sold my turn table and lost touch with my albums. What a treasure to find this cd and relive the connection that rocked my soul so many years before. She sings with such power and grace that you don't just listen to this album you can live it. I constantly have Ooh Child running through my brain as I watch my daughter sleep. I run to So,so Happy and Ringing Doorbells in the Rain on my ipod. I even cry to Cowboy Angel occasionlly and this isn't the forum to even discuss why that is!

All in all, this album is as contemporary today as it was inovative then. She is a pure talent, and this is a timeless cd. If they would only release the Buckingham Nicks album on CD...my life would be complete. I don't want much!

Mediocre talent.......2005-07-31

Despite support from big-name cameos such as Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt, this falls flat. Clearly well-trained voice is better as back-up vocals than a soloist: nice enough voice (occasionally piercing) but lacks the oomph of a star.
