Description

Deana's career has certainly had some ups and downs. She began with an album (Did I shave my legs for this) that her American record label refused to release - but, somewhat surprisingly, managed to get a UK release. Deana continued searching for songs while writing some of her own. Eventually, she got an American release with an album also titled Did I shave my legs for this, but it was a very different album from the earlier UK release, with only the title track and two others appearing on both. The American album included Strawberry wine, a song that the record label reluctantly released asmore… a single. It became popular among country fans, who proceeded in their millions to buy the album, whose sales were further helped by other hits such as We danced anyway. After such a phenomenally successful album, Deana's future suddenly seemed bright. Then the follow-up album (this one) appeared. Airplay and sales were disappointing and the record label dropped Deana. So is this album so bad? No - it sold a fair number of copies by normal standards but nowhere near what everybody hoped for.The problem (if there is one) is that Deana didn't want to stick to a formula, preferring to do something a little different. Of course, it's one thing for an established star to change style from one album to another - it's quite another for somebody to do so with just two albums to her name and only one that most people knew about. In general, the songs here are less instantly appealing than those on Deana's previous albums, but they grow with repeated listening. Among the songs is a cover of Brand new key, the seventies classic written and originally recorded in 1971 by Melanie. With the singles from the album not doing as well as hoped, it may be the most recognizable song on the album.Apart from Brand new key, all the songs are originals except the title track, which Deana's father wrote in 1971. The opening track (You still shake me) is slightly quirky (like several songs here) but I love it -it's about how Deana feels about a former lover. She doesn't want him back but she clearly has a soft spot for him. The next song (Ruby Brown) is about a woman who has vanished. The next song (Absence of the heart) is about a relationship that's gone cold. After that and Brand new sky comes a very romantic song (Michelangelo sky).Next is another song (People miss planes) with an inconclusive ending, just like Ruby Brown. In this song, a woman decides she's had enough of her man and heads for the airport. She gets there but does she board that plane or turn back? You can decide for yourself how it ended. Next is a song (Never coming down) about a woman waiting for - and finding - true love. Then comes a song (Make up your mind) about a woman's impatience with a man. Maybe she gets the answer she wants, for the next song (Color everywhere) is really happy. Next is a song (Angels working overtime) about a baby who is dumped by her mother who feels unable to look after her.Next is a song (Dickson county) about a woman wanting revenge. The next song (The train song) has strange lyrics but features vocal backing by Lynyrd Skynyrd. The title track closes the album in a reassuring manner.
