I confess – as a kid I loved David Cassidy in the days before I discovered Leonard Cohen. Of course I also thought The Partridge Family were a hot band. I think that of these songs, Rock Me Baby, Go Now and How Can I Be Sure were all hits. But I much prefer Soft As A Summer Shower, a truly beautiful atmospheric love song with great imagery. David had some catchy songs but over a whole album’s length, his music is not that engaging. I think The Partridge Family albums are a bit better as their catchy songs had more of a pop sensibility than David’s often cumbersome ballads. I’m giving the album 3 stars for old time’s sake.
