With numerous bonus tracks including the rare Jim Burgess 12-inch Disco Mix of ‘Lotta Love,’ the first-time-on-CD soundtrack cut ‘Summer Hearts’ from National Lampoon’s Vacation, and Nicolette’s duets with Emmylou Harris, Christopher Cross, Steve Goodman, and The Doobie Brothers!
Produced and annotated by Joe Marchese of Second Disc Records whose notes feature archival quotes from Nicolette Larson, Neil Young, Ted Templeman, Andrew Gold, Linda Ronstadt, and Russ Kunkel.
Nicolette Larson rose to fame singing with Neil Young on his classic albums American Stars ‘n Bars and Comes a Time. Signed to Warner Bros. Records as a solo artist, she teamed with a ‘Who’s Who’ of the West Coast rock scene for four shimmering studio albums and one live set that effortlessly blended pop, rock, soul, R&B, country, gospel, bluegrass, and jazz.
Key tracks include Neil Young’s ‘Lotta Love’ (heard in its original album version, 12-inch single remix, and The Lotta Nic Mix), and songs by JD Souther and Glenn Frey (‘Last in Love’), Jackson Browne ('I'll Fly Away (Without You)’), Burt Bacharach (‘Mexican Divorce’), Leon Russell (‘Say You Will’), Bill and Fran Payne (‘Give a Little’), Michael McDonald (the duet ‘Let Me Go, Love’), and Lowell George (‘Trouble’) plus sizzling and soulful covers of Dusty Springfield’s ‘I Only Want to Be with You’, Marvin Gaye’s ‘Baby Don’t You Do It’, and The Supremes’ ‘Back in My Arms (Again)’.
