Miriam "Nobody's Baby" 2014

What a wonderful album. Miriam Linna, a longtime hero of rock n roll, with both her defunct magazine Kicks, one of the greatest magazines, done by her and her husband Billy Miller, who were also together in the A-Bones and before that The Zantees, and who also run the fantastic label Norton Records, she has put out a record so great it surpassed my expectations……Opening with a song by the great Del Shannon (Del lives forever!), a song off his Home and Away masterpiece, she does a superb cover of it. The Everly Brothers' So Lonely follows and again she is covering songs that many huge artists would fall flat on, and triumphs. This whole album is terrific; take There Goes My Babe. This is AMAZING. Miriam took a great demo by Neil Young, and transformed it into a classic '60s Girl Group sound. FANTASTIC!!! I'm Nobody's Baby Now was a song by Reparata and the Delrons. That I didn't hear theirs until I first heard this is one of many reasons I thank her. Great cover. Her cover of Bobby Darin's Not For Me; we're talking one of the greatest songs ever written! What a superb choice of material on this album! Nothing less should be expected of Miriam. I mean, the Ramones' Questioningly - of course. This whole album is totally great, Miriam's voice is wonderful to me, and this has great production ranging from the '60s girl group sound to a nice '60s garage sound. I hope she gives us another album one day soon. I need it! This album is a true treasure. - Shlomo Sinatratrax:
