Carolyn Hester Coalition - Magazine (CD)

2009 reissue of this album from the American singer/songwriter, originally released in 1970. This is highly enjoyable in a style similar to the first Coalition album; a small step or two towards moody Folkier sounds all over and a little less Sunset Strip Bubblegum. Setting is unchanged with a stripped down teen guitar/organ sound supporting Hester's candy acid vocals. The acid fuzz rework of St James Infirmary with modernized political lyrics is very good. Calico Sky should appeal to fans of soft femme vocal pop.
