Don't Stop Believin' album review

Olivia Newton-John, Don’t Stop Believin’ MCA-2223

Super-smooth and soft Olivia vocals and elegantly tight Nashville studio production make this an outstanding musical treat. The Nashville touch is thoroughly contemporary and doesn’t date or type the John Farrar production in any way.

Newton-John’s singing is at it’s most expressive and the songs chosen for the LP are of high quality in the ballad-to-midtempo range. The singer can sound perky or ethereally pretty to suit the material and bring off either style. This newest Olivia LP shows her gifts continue to sharpen.

Best cuts: Every Face Tells A Story, Compassionate Man, Don’t Stop Believin’, The Last Time You Loved, Sam.

Dealers: This LP has a wide variety of the kind of material the artist has been successful with in the past.
