Nicolette!

[SnidelyWhiplash]

I just bought this wonderful vinyl record & it is a delightful listen. This is Ms. Larson's debut produced by Ted Templeman & engineered by Donn Landee. It has the cream of California country rock on backing trax/vox. It even has a raucous lead guitar break by someone listed in the credits as only ?.

She was great!
RIP, and thanks, ma’am.

Too young to pass away. RIP.

I know of her from Neil Young's Comes A Time album.
She had a sweet voice and could cover a few different styles.

Gone too soon.

I never get tired of Lotta Love.

Too young to pass away. RIP.

It's gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love or we won't get too far
So if you look in my direction and we don't see eye to eye
My heart needs protection and so do I

Surprisingly direct lyrics from Neil.

Ah, yesssss

I saw her at a rural county fair in the mid 80s - serious cowboy-crush material, from the ballads to the harder dancing bits.

RIP dearie

Remember album notes?

Nicolette sand backup on Sweet Blue Midnight, a Georgia Satellites tune. The credit read "Nicolette Larson appears courtesy of her own damn self."

That was bad ass.

EVH?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were Neil Young. He was pretty much the the person that brought her to the attention of the world.

It was Ed. NY never played like that in his life.

Never heard that song before. Thanks.

Indeed.

 

[brookdalebill]

I love her song, Let Me Be The First, and her duet with Steve Wariner, That’s How You Know When Love’s Right.

Confession time.

Until I became a radio announcer in the mid to late eighties, I thought Lotta Love was recorded by Linda Ronstadt.

Inattentive mistake on my part for some years--but also speaks to just how dang good a singer Ms. Larson was.

Neil considered that a throwaway song. She found it on a piece of paper on the floor of his car and he told her she could have it.

Which song?

Can't Get Away From You.
