Format: Audio CD
Tracy Nelson really came into her own as a solo artist with these two LP's (now combined on one CD) in the late seventies and early eighties. Previous efforts on Atlantic and MCA were fine in their way but a bit strained. Here she sounds comfortable and strong. Apparently Flying Fish gave her the leeway that the bigger labels did not. What I didn't realize at the time was that after these efforts and a subsequent Direct-to-Disc release (Doin' It My Way -- words that Tracy lives by from what I know about her)she would virtually disappear for over a decade. That made these releases all the more valuable to me. The albums reflect her blues, country and folk influences. But most of all they present Tracy Nelson at her vocal best--strong, clear, emotionally rich singing that will make people who have never heard her wonder why she's not a superstar. (Answer--at least in part: she's not interested in being one). It's hard to recommend any one TN release, but this one is a certainly a good intro.

In 1978 I was 24 years old and a sophisticated urban music lover, or so I thought. It was around that time that I was introduced to the music of Tracy Nelson, and my taste in music and perception of what good music is was immediately altered forever. Although I had heard some of the earlier efforts by this wonderfully eclectic artist, Homemade Songs was powerful enough to cause me to declare Tracy Nelson as my favorite singer shortly after I first heard it. Twenty-eight years later, she is still my favorite singer, and Homemade Songs remains one of my favorite albums of hers.

This CD represents two releases by Tracy (Homemade Songs and Come See About Me) that were originally issued on the Flying Fish label in 1978 and 1980 respectively. Of the two, Homemade Songs is my favorite, but each has its share of high-power moments. Tracy Nelson has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. No, make that THE most powerful voice I've ever heard, and although no mere recording can even quite capture the immense power that she presents in a live concert, this album will give you a very good idea of what she's capable of.

Homemade Songs starts off with the Randy Newman penned God' Song, which was also recorded by Etta James. Tracy reduces the lyrics to a sparse scale-down of the previous versions, but she does not hesitate to blow the roof off at the climax. Her final notes are so overwhelming that I sometimes stop the recording after the first track, just so I can allow my ears to rest for a moment and reflect on what a potent statement the song is.

Well, now, I KNOW I'm getting old. I could have sworn that I posted a review for this "twofer" a while ago, but I don't find it here. Wasn't until I wrote up a review for the recently released SOUL SESSIONS compilation (culled in its entirety from tunes already available on this record) that I realized I didn't have anything posted here for this now-classic release under my name. Gotta remedy that one, cuz this is one record I've always made a point to promote to friends, family, total strangers who don't mind being accosted by a rabid Tracy fan--you name it.

Tracy Nelson first gained real prominence as the female lead singer for the San Fran (and subsequently, Nashville) based band Mother Earth. She officially went solo in '74, although she actually continued to tour with the and for several years to come. The first several solo albums were on major labels and it was pretty evident that the producers of same were going for fairly elaborate production jobs. They were interesting, and I didn't hesitate to snap THEM up when they came out on CD a few years back. But Tracy really was NOT about elaborate production jobs. She's always had that down home thing going on, and her unpretentious band--in its various incarnations--seemed well suited to her. Tracy Nelson was "indie" before there was indie.

When she landed on the small Flying Fish label in the late '70s, it seemed like she'd found a home at last. HOMEMADE SONGS had been the title of one of the tracks on her and the band's early '70s TRACY NELSON/MOTHER EARTH album (the first time they'd been billed that way, and the first indication that she was leaning toward a solo career).
