Album Review

Sadly, "Brand New Key" had sounded the death knell on Melanie's commercial prospects. Stoneground Words was in another class altogether — a mature, intelligent and ambitious work, easily as good as most singer/songwriter fare of its time. Building on Gather Me's better moments, Melanie effectively shed her cuteness but didn't get cynical, either. The lyrics of "Summer Weaving," "Do You Believe," and "I Am Not a Poet" have a pretty, almost painterly quality, and Melanie's ear for an interesting melody was at its strongest. Session heavyweights Sal DeTroia and Hugh McCracken, as well as the first-rate arrangements of Roger Kellaway, ensure Stoneground Words' status as an under-heard classic. What should have been a renaissance ended up a mere footnote to Melanie's glory days.

Customer Reviews

Great Album... Remastered from what?

One of her better mid-seventies albums. Quality of the remastering is poor.

Remaster isn't bad

If I only owned 2 Melanie albums it would have to be this album and Photograph (double exposier). These are Melanies' albums that produce goosepimples on fans like myself. MASTERPIECE !!!
