Reviews
Edited one year agoSound is amazing on this, an exceptional record crying out for a decent reissue, much more complex than her first. Not sure why genre is defined as Pop/Ballad on this release. Not how I'd describe it, much more folk with hints of Nick Drake throughout. If you can find it grab it!
This is one fine Mike Moran record - he really exhibits professionalism on this album.
Edited 6 years agoAmazing record. Very much a lost record, and apparently influenced a great deal by Tanega's feelings about her relationship with Dusty Springfield.
This definitely would benefit from a lovely LP pressing, though not sure who owns this or would have the masters at this point.
In the meantime, well worth the download, which can be done from Tanega's website (and affordably, too).
