4.0 out of 5 stars Alot of good music, February 12, 2001

By A Customer

I listened to this recording back in the mid seventies when it was originally released and like it as much or more today. Compared to alot of the current popular music, it is nice to listen to someone who has some talent and sends a positive message. As far as the cover art goes, the CD I obtained (import by Festival records) has all the same artwork that the LP sleeve had including the words. Perhaps the US release was missing this part...

4.0 out of 5 stars OLIVIA SETTLES HER BOOTS IN COUNTRY, November 10, 1998

By	Lawrence J. Nona (Kankakee, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Determined to show the naysayers she did earn the Grammy for country music, Olivia Newton-John releases "Clearly Love". Debuting "Let it Shine" on John Denver's Christmas show using a farm as a backdrop strengthened her country appearance. The mixture of "Summertime Blues", "He's My Rock" with ballads "Just A Lot of Folk", "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" gives fans of country as well as folk music entertainment even today: 23 years after it's release." Special Note::The original vinyl album has wonderfully printed lyrics and great collage of Olivia down on the farm! This is a RARE CD to find!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Olivia---I CLEARLY LOVE this album!, March 12, 2003

By	Stephen K Sporer (Bronxville, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Olivia churned out album after album through out the 70's, but Clearly love stands out with its simple catchy melodies and Olivia's pure voice. The songs on this album are great to sing along to and, while they all represent her 70's style, they do so by covering a wide range of genres, such as the jazzy, blues-like Something Better to Do, the optimistic anthem Let it Shine, the poppy Slow Down Jackson, and the emotional cover of He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. By far, the most moving performance on the album is the somber Just a Lot of Folk--this song displays her ability to filter emotions into lyrics. How many singers can take lyrics that include the word "marshmallow" and still move the listener to tears? On that note, however, I could have done without the cover of Summertime Blues. That being said...this album is CLEARLY one of her best---put it in on a rainy day and simply "Let it Shine."
