Nancy Priddy - you've come this way before (RPM)

Occasionally i get albums purely because of the cover, i admit female artists tend to appear on most of these covers but i am sure that is purely a coincidence. Nancy Priddy's album intrigued me though because the cover just looked that cool and very much of its time.

This album by the singer-songwriter came out of New York in 1968 and has an interesting mix of late 60s folk pop and jazz. Take the title track for example with its easy melody and instrumental flourishes or "And who will you be" with its horns and spacey beats.

At times the album is a little odd, but its a good odd. Nancy Priddy is the mother of the actress Christina Applegate by the way, according to the liner notes Christina was named after a painting which one of the tracks on the album is about.
