Review:
Disappointing
I’m a huge admirer of Danny Kortchmar’s work with people like
Carole King, James Taylor and all those others, but I’m afraid that
this is another of those albums which show that a lot of brilliant
sidemen (and women) don’t make great solo artists in their own
right.
There’s no
doubting Kootch’s brilliance as a guitarist and the whole thing is
very competently performed and produced, but the material is pretty
ordinary and as an album it’s no more than OK. Some other
reviewers plainly think it’s terrific, but it really doesn’t do
much for me and the overall effect is rather generic and a bit dated
– and not in a good way. I might have quite liked it in 1973, but
I can’t say it’s aged well.
You may like this
more than I do, but personally I can’t really recommend it.
