But that’s only half the story. Right alongside all those freak-out power trios and gut-busting blues singers stood prim folk-rockers and fine pop stars — artists shaped by hippie culture but who retained a sense of melody and arrangement that connected them to a tamer time. We’re talking the summery jangle of Simon and Garfunkel, the loungy chic of Burt Bacharach, and the Edwardian pomp of the early Bee Gees. It’s that sift of sounds that shaped the entire inner life of Susanna Hoffs. While the result peeked out frequently in her work with her ’80s band — remember, they even had a hit by covering Simon and Garfunkel’s “Hazy Shade of Winter” — never has Hoffs so fully and lovingly drawn on her influences as she does on her latest CD, Someday. It’s her first solo flight in far too long. In the meantime, Hoffs has toured with the remnants of the Bangles. They even released an album in 2003 (the surprisingly ample ). But 16 years have passed since the star went out on her own. Hoffs most recent record- ings have been several collaborative CDs with , covering the most melody-mad power-pop hits of the ’60s and ’70s. Consider them K-tel collections for hipsters. Lest anyone should miss the fetish object of Hoffs’ latest work, she released it on an imprint named Baroque Folk — the very term coined by critics for hits like the Bee Gees’ “Holiday” or the Zombies’ classic 1968 song cycle “Odyssey and Oracle.” The album’s first track, “November Sun,” brings back the tone and style of those works with a nostalgia that’s both un- ashamed and exacting. While the song (co-written with The Heartbreakers’ ) starts with a spare acoustic guitar, soon Hoffs and ace producer Mitchell Froom sweep in frilly strings. By the time they reach the bridge, they’ve added on fruity flutes, autumnal French horns, and even a harpsichord (which is as baroque as it gets). The strings in “Always Enough” sound like they could have just fallen off the Tallahatchie Bridge in “Ode to Billy Joe,” while “Picture Me” has a Bacharach-like flurry of woodwinds that could make Dionne Warwick weep. At 53, Hoffs sounds as girlish and vulnerable as ever. Small wonder you could imagine songs like “Always Enough” or “Hold- ing My Breath” being covered by Lulu or Cilla Black back in the day. As studiously retro as such references may be, the album never feels like an intellectual exercise or an act of regression. The melodies have a faithful ache, and the arrangements a meticulous charm, that fully earns their sources’ beloved company.” - NY Daily News 7/17/12 Coming Up... 8/13: The Whigs “Waiting,” Citizen Cope “Something To Believe In”... 8/20: Ben Folds Five “Do It Anyway,” Slightly Stoopid “Top Of The World,” Somebody’s Darling “Cold Hands”... 8/27: John Hiatt “All Right Now,” Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Martin Harley...
