That Wonderful Band In the Sky

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Nicolette Larson. How often do you see those names in the same sentence? Not a lot in common, except that they all died long before we were allowed to hear their full potential.

The Nicolette Larson albums suffered a bit from low-budget production. But they had wonderful musicians, great styling and Nicolette's vision. And they became great albums in spite of the shortcomings.

Was Nicolette competent? Read her Wicipedia listing and you'll see a true who's who from the 70s' and 80s'.

Did she make great music? I would offer "Rhumba Girl" and "Rio de Janeiro Blue" (which has been covered numerous times and is becoming a bit of a jazz classic...) as evidence that she knew her craft. And she could certainly sell a song in an 80s' sort of way.

Buy any of her albums. You'll be back for more.

not quite what i expected

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: the music content IS what i expected. her music was familiar and enjoyable. what i am disappointed with is that the sound mix in unchanged from the record. (i listened to it many, many times) it was created in the era of LP's and radio. this CD was not re-mixed for this era. the sound quality is a bit flat. i was hoping that someone had taken the time to take the sound that is (i would hope) available in the source tracks and make a CD that really shows off what nicollete is capable of in todays recording/listening standards.

Beautiful music

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: For more years than I can remember, I've been listening to a cassette tape version of this recording, which I taped from an 8-track tape, complete with channel-switching gaps in songs and so much hiss it sounds like it was recorded by a waterfall. I am overjoyed to find this album now available on CD. It's one of my all-time favorites! Between this and her first recording, you've got a LOT of good, timeless music!

Best find

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I had been looking and requesting this from the various music shops, but was unable to locate this or even get this ordered, I loved it as an album and love it as my newly found CD.

Endearing from Beginning to End

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This album means enough to fans that some reviewers seem to have written Masters theses about it.

Obviously, her self titled debut is what made most of us fans, but the variety and delivery on In the Nick of Time really showed how Nicolette had staying power.

Dancin' Jones puts a smile on my face every time I hear it, setting a mood that makes it hard to leave before the entire album has played. The highlight for me though, is Rio De Janeiro Blue, which was also recorded by Randy Crawford, among others.

The album photography shows a more sophisticated side of Nicolette than what we saw on her first and later albums. I mention this only because it reflects the subtle change in style on the CD, and really shows what a lovely lady she was.

I have no affiliation with the military and have no children but I can't help but admire how she did the USO tours back then and released the childrens' album.

I hope buyers will enjoy In the Nick of Time at least half as much as I do. I consider it my favorite of her albums, with the debut coming in a close second.
