Sweet simple melodies4
Growing up in the late 70's this album is ingrained as part of the sound-track to my youth. Never one to follow the crowd at the time I loved (and still do) this collection of tracks, some of which (unusually for the artist) have a sweet sentiment of their own, while others are just plain curious additions to the selection here.

His better known (and, to my mind, more forgettable) songs from the era are here - Daydreamer and the Puppy Song - but there's also a couple of gems that have been long forgotten. Summer Days is a sweet, happy song celebrating long, warm summers in that bitter-sweet period between child- and adult-hood.

My all-time favourite, Can't Go Home Again, captures so perfectly the happy times and wistfulness of a lost youth. In the days following 9/11 I found myself a Brit stuck on a week's vacation in New York - having survived the horrors I was anxious to escape Manhattan and took one of the first trains out, to Southport, MA. A lovely, sleepy town full of local colour, this song truly came alive for me - it'd be so perfect for someone like Jamie Cullum to re-interpret today.

The final track - Hold On Me - I can still remember every word of, some 30 years on.

The oddity on this album is Bali Ha'i - until you realise this track is a tribute to his mother - Shirley Jones(who also appeared in the Partridge Family tv show) - who starred in the stage version of the show South Pacific.

If you're looking for a typical example of 70's pop - or of the teeny-bop phenomenon that characterised the artist's other recordings - this isn't it. But if you're interested in sweet songs with simple melodies ... keep an open mind and give it a try!
