Any Wendy Waldman fans out there? I've enjoyed her music ever since discovering her via a Rolling Stone review of her album Strange Company. The review called it "a nearly perfect LP" so I had to give it a listen. It was produced by Mike Flicker, who had been working with Heart, so it had a nice rock edge. I like a lot of her other albums but that's my favorite.
Yesterday thru Facebook I learned that she has released two long-out-of-print CDs, Which Way To Main Street and Letters Home. They are both available at her website, wendywaldman.com.
Which Way was produced by Eddie Kramer who did some work with Kiss among others. The album has a "tougher" sound than any of her other albums. It has some terrific songs, including the original version of "Heartbeat" which was later made famous by Don Johnson, and my favorite, a rocker called "Fighting It Out in the Heart of the City."
Letters Home is more typical Waldman fare, kind of country-rock-ish. It has some outstanding tracks as well, with the title tune being a favorite.
Anyway....I've been looking for both of these for quite a while so it was a real nice surprise to see they're finally available, and not as downloads!
