Like previous reviewers, I pretty much wore out my vinyl copy of this wonderful album long ago, and then had to wait too many years for it to be released on CD at last. Well, it was worth the wait! As good & rich as their debut album was, the Joy of Cooking upped their game considerably with this second release, laying down funkier grooves & singing with enough passion & tenderness & longing to tear out anyone's soul. As before, Toni brings the folkier element to the album (though she can get into the rhythm like nobody's business when she wants), while Terry brings her bluesy, jazzy side, all sass & broken-hearted aching; and as before, they blend to perfection.
It made a difference that they were a bit older than the usual musicians of the day, with more time & experience behind them. These were women, not girls, and they'd lived enough to gain a fair amount of hard-won wisdom. That shows in their work. When they sing about loss or regret, you can feel it because they've been through it; and even their songs of unabashed love are colored by a certain melancholy that comes from having lost a few youthful illusions along the way. This is a band that never truly got its due -- it's about time they were finally recognized for being as good as they were -- most highly recommended!
