The Art Of Dory Previn
American lyricist, singer-songwriter and poet unleashes her first ever compilation album.
Taken from her first four United Artists’ albums, released 1970–72, ‘The Art Of Dory Previn’, is all the evidence needed to explain why Dory Previn is so special.
Expressed with humour and a lightness of touch, few singer-songwriters revealed quite such naked emotion, uncompromisingly and candidly laying bare the unhappy experiences suffered.
Songs like ‘Beware Of Young Girls’ and ‘With My Daddy In The Attic’ explicitly draw on real-life experience in an intimate and open confessional approach.
The satire of ‘The Midget’s Lament’ and the narrative of ‘Mary C. Brown And The Hollywood Sign’ draw on Dory’s time in Hollywood - at the heart of big-time show business when she saw the effect it could have.
