NAOMI “COTTAGE SONGS” (U.S. Private) 1975

Record is still in shrink wrap. Vinyl is clean and shiny and void of any scratches. Play tested using a Technics SL1200 fitted with a Shure V15 Type V. sound quality was VG++/EX with occasional surface noise. Overall EX….A delightful album full of authentic creativity. There are both acoustic led and backing band full on songs on tap here. “Get On Down” has a cool brass arrangement with funky vibes and a male backing vocal part. “I Have A Blue Sky” and “I’m The Lucky One” are both dreamy songs full of subtle synth/keyboard moves. The spunky “Mellowside” is a cool change up. It said that her second album is jazzier and not as good as this debut effort.
