Olivia Newton-John looks improbably lovely and chaste in the cover photo on her newest album. On the record itself she still sounds as demure as she looks.
Even when she does such things as her own version of Greensleeves or the steamier Wrap Me in Your Arms, it is with all of the sylvan innocence of a maiden skinny-dipping in a mountain waterfall. Well, you go be Young Werther if you like; all this album really does is bring out the Dirty Old Man in me.
Miss Newton-John turns me an. Unfortunately, though, her rеcordings have nothing to do with it. P.R.
