It's
amazing how many good singers from the early '70s have recorded several
worthy albums only to disappear from the scene forever. Tracy Nelson,
from the photo on her self-titled album, gives the appearance of just a
slip of a girl, but her voice defies one's eyes. From the first notes of
the album, Nelson brings her deep, resonant vocals to bear on ten
songs, nine of which were gleaned from her songwriting peers. She's
joined in the studio by the cream of Nashville studio cats, a sparkling
group of players who lay down a heavy R&B backdrop perfectly suited
for her powerful set of pipes. It doesn't hurt that Bob Johnston (of Bob
Dylan fame) is sitting in the production chair, nor that he lent Nelson
the sexy number "Rock Me in Your Cradle." The good songs on Tracy
Nelson run deep, so one needs to stick around long enough to hear the
funkiest, coolest version of Bob Dylan's "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It
Takes a Train to Cry" ever to grace vinyl. If you can imagine Aretha
Franklin recording with Little Feat, then you've got the idea. There's
also a stone-country version of "After the Fire Is Gone" (which charted
at the time) with Willie Nelson in tow. All this is to say that Tracy
Nelson is a solid, soulful album.
