A 1978 second album—and a masterpiece—by American singer-songwriter Valerie Carter, who first gained attention through her backing vocals for James Taylor. Compared with her debut, the country and folk elements are toned down in favor of a lighter, more danceable soul\/R\u0026amp;B direction. A2 is beautifully mellow, combining a laid-back bluesy backing with Carter’s slightly husky, wonderfully expressive voice, while B3 brings to mind Steely Dan and Donald Fagen. B5 is another highlight, a ballad filled with subdued urban mellowness. The overall atmosphere feels somewhere between Minnie Riperton and Lani Hall, with Carter’s distinctive vocal tone giving the album an especially seductive charm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA2: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261020\/OMH26011083_a2.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDa Doo Rendevous\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261020\/OMH26011083_b3.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChanging in Luck\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20261020\/OMH26011083_b5.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWild Child\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039641596128,"sku":"OMH26011083","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_2237_5ed29a62-05fd-44fb-b352-c048eabf1167.jpg?v=1792484151","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/valerie-carter-wild-child-2","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
