"I still don’t quite know what to make of this after a few years
and quite a few listens. According to the liner notes “after 8 years of
living in the wilderness of her Adirondack farm” the 1940′s movie
starlet was spontaneously inspired to write and record music “as the
result of some happening”. Bewildering, right? Well, the sounds housed
within the ancient home-pasted jacket are equally puzzling. Aside from
the patriotic theme (with unexplained male vocal) that opens the lp, and
an esoteric keyboard instrumental, it’s a showcase of “Erica’s” rather
inept vocals and Hawaiian guitar playing. Overall it’s a unique and
intimate trip with a strange, sometimes creepy vibe, and a few truly
inspired moments. The most logical conclusion I’ve come up with is that
this was intended as some sort of songwriting demo." waxidermy
