Alice Stuart: Full Time Woman [Fantasy, 1971]
Beautiful melodies and clean, countryish, somewhat static postfolk arrangements transform these lyrics into memorable statements of feeling and principle. A bit male-identified, I admit, but the salutory synthesis of small voice and independent spirit proves that a woman doesn't have to be macho to be autonomous. Now who'll prove it for men? B+
Believing [Fantasy, 1972]
The winning combination of tiny voice and tough lyrics is washed out by the lyrics, and the melodies don't exactly triumph either. When the two best songs on a singer-songwriter's album are written by others, you know something's wrong. C+
