Free Music Notes for Love Song/Highly Prized Possession

Free Music Review: Two lovely albums from 1974
Hit: 5 Stars

The first album, A love song, contains exquisite covers of Just one look (an American hit for Doris Troy but a British hit for the Hollies) and You won't see me (John Lennon once told Anne that this was the best Beatles cover he'd ever heard - I wouldn't go that far, but it is rather nice).

The album includes Another pot o' tea, written by a Canadian songwriter about his Irish grandmother, and Send a little love my way, which won a Golden Globe nomination after it was used in the movie Oklahoma crude. Kenny Loggins co-wrote two of the songs - the title track and Watching the river run. Listening to those songs, it's not difficult to figure out why he became such a great songwriter.

The second album, Highly prized possession, contains two great covers, including Dream lover (Bobby Darin) and Day tripper (Beatles) but is otherwise filled with lovely original songs. The best of these is the final track, Please don't sell Nova Scotia. It is a song about the perils of development - if you sell the land to build houses or factories, you can't get it back. Although set in Anne's home province, the message of the song is universal.

So, these are two excellent but often overlooked albums from Canada's finest singer.
