"Lotta Love" was a staple of FM radio in the dim, dark 70s, and remains a joy to hear. However, this album showcases Nicolette's wide range of vocal styles from wistful ballads (French Waltz, Last In Love) through to funky up-tempo numbers (Baby, Don't You Do It, and Can't Get Away From You) to more laid-back AOR (Give A Little). Personal favourites are the good-humoured country-flavoured "Come Early Mornin'" and her beautifully phrased interpretation of Sam Cooke's soul classic "You Send Me".

There's something for everybody here who likes their music soulful, with a dash of spice.

Nicolette Larson was a great singer and song writer who was loved by all. We all miss her very much and her music will stay with us forever. I love you Aunt Nicci -- love, Jessica

Eddie Van Halen plays on "Can't Get Away From You"--on the intro and the solo. It was a favor for Van Halen producer Ted Templeman.

An absolute gem of an album. Each song is different, and done with style. Lotta Love of course is the big hit, familiar to most. Rhumba Girl is jaunty, sprightly fun(Thank You, Jesse). Baby Don't You Do It rocks nicely as well. Sadly now poignant, is the hauntingly tight vocals on Angels Rejoiced. Just beautiful. A real keeper of an album, delightful and fun. I miss her dearly. Get any albums you can, as they are becoming hard to locate. (Check this site.!!)

The death last year of Nicolette Larson was very sad...I've been a fan of hers since the early '80's, and am having trouble getting some of her early albums on CD. Her voice is pure, without the pretentiousness of some other female vocalists. Listening to her music always brings back memories for my husband and me of the time we were courting!
