Female performers usual- ly find themselves relegated to turning out tunes by male songwriters. Seldom does a woman break the singer/songwriter barrier énough to be taken seriously. There are few_ OF: Carole Kings and Janis Ians. Stepping over the boundary with asser- tive force is Carolyne Mas, whose debut recording last year was a stunning combina- tion of superb sek tte and energetic performances. Hold Op.jmproves on the for- =sMula as Mas belts of her emotional love songs with even stronger conviction. With the verve of a seasoned performer, Carolyne gives ussome~of-the~best-rock around. Equal to the task is Big Heat, her tight, brash band, featuring the throaty sax playing of Crispin McCormick Cioe. If there were any doubts about Carolyne’s gutsy voice, they are dispelled on * Steve Forbert’s You Cannot Win If You Do Not Play. It’s a marked contrast to Forbert’s bovish treatment. Mas is one macho lady. Long Nights — Shari Ulrich (A&M) A quiet, idealistic girl in Alice-in- Wonderland dresses, Shari Ulrich brings the * sme qualities to her songs. And more. The music Carries a strong undercurrent of in- security, wrapped up in melodies reminis- cent of Ian Thomas’ songs. _ It’s a pleasant surprise from a woman who has never taken full advantage of her leading roles of the past, in the Vancouver band Pied Pumpkin, and The,Hometown ~-One-track, Oh Daddy, -is-a-poignant and touching portrait of her father. Colleague Claire Lawrence produced this * delightful first collection of ultimate Ulrich. Xanadu (MCA). Here’s the lineup: Olivia Newton-John, Electric Light Orchestra, Gene Kelly, The Tubes, and Cliff Richard. But hold it! Before you write off such a combination as sheer lunacy, hear me out (or is that see me out?). Whatever the strengths or weaknesses of the film Xanadu, the soundtrack is an in- triguing mix of unlikely artists pulled together by fine arrangements from John Farrar and Jeff Lynne. In addition to the half-dozen new ELO tunes, there are some surprises on Olivia's side of the album as well — for example, an unexpectedly tasteful big band/rock number, Dancin’, with The Tubes. - ~The Longest Road — Seals & ——— Crofts (Warner Brothers/WEA) Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts played out their brand of sugar-coated musical philosophy in the early 1970s, but the phenomenon continues on in uneventful albums like The Longest Road. Even the inclusion“of jazz titans Chick brea and Stanley Clarke isn’t enough to salvage the effort. Seals & Crofts’ downhome | goodness and Baha'i ideology have worn thin. Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl are far behind them. ae ee ee ee | oo
