5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and well-produced 21 Jun 2001
By S. J. Merrick
Format:Audio CD
The technical quality of this recording emphasises the slightly husky Ian voice. It sends shivers down my spine; it will do the same to yours!

I always think of this album as the best of a gradually-improving trilogy, the other two being "Stars" and "Between the lines".

If you like good singer-songwriters (James Taylor, the criminally-underrated Dean Friedman, Susanne Vega...), you'll love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars tones that stay with you, gently 19 Mar 2000
By Nanci - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This album did not receive much critical or popular acclaim when released, but has some amazingly excellent writing on it, especially considering that in 1975 Janis was 23 years old. Harmony on the song "Hymn" alone is worth the album, but you won't be disappointed with her obvious talent in singing and writing blues. Her sense of humor shines through on "Boy, I Really Tied One On" (recorded also by Esther Phillips). A few songs foreshadow her struggles and disillusion with the Business of Music, and the angst of the performer has always been a theme for her. There's real quality work here. You wonder how she can get better, but she does. Fortunately she stayed in the business and is still writing and producing quality CDs against incredible odds. Her latest CD "god & the fbi" will be released March 21, 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar singing, fabulous production, one of the 70's best 16 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
One of the better albums from a master song crafter. Fabulous arrangements and engineering, horns, strings, jazz and blues influences. It starts out with tart take on Elliott and ends with a swell vocal ensemble featuring Odetta and Phoebe Snow. With salsa and torch songs in-between (including Love is Blind, a song that still holds the record for longest-running #1 single in Japan -- there, now you know). I never tire of this album, even after nearly 25 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Janis Ian, Aftertones 7 Sep 2005
By K. M. Barnes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Delicate, sensitive lyrics which characterized Ian's early work. I was glad to find them in CD form.
