Ronee Blakley (CD)
Ronee Blakley took multi-tasking to the next level, a lifetime of movies and records that included starring in Robert Altman's movie Nashville (performing her own material), scoring and directing a host of films and being an impressive singer-songwriter. This, her debut from 1972, has elements of Carole King and Joni Mitchell (not to mention the folkie rock of Renaissance): all frail, soaring voice and dancing piano lines. Blakley veered from the singer-songwriter norm on two counts. Firstly, her leaning towards country, blurring the boundaries between laid-back West Coast hippy and the slick country productions coming out of Nashville (such as the pedal steel on the uptempo Bluebird). Secondly, a theatrical edge that suggested a much broader picture than simply a song: dramatic playing more akin to a soundtrack on various numbers such as the grandiose Graduation Tune and the wistful Gabriel, both of which top the five- minute-mark.
