Transcription

Album information

After four years of modelling, Twiggy retired in 1970, and embarked on an acting and singing career. Twiggy spoke of her debut album, "My first real album after my record deal with Phonogram - I'd always absolutely adored country music, I guess it was always my 'thing'. This album was slightly more country than 'Please Get My Name Right', which was more pop I suppose. The first album did rather well, earning me a silver disc, although they both did very well. This album was produced by Tony Eyers, who was a hot record producer at the time.".[2]

The album included the UK top-20 hit, "Here I Go Again", which peaked at number 17.

Critical reception

The album was warmly received by Rolling Stone, with reviewer Billy Altman opining, "Her voice, which at alternate times recalls Olivia Newton-John and Melanie (but without the former's calculated submissiveness or the latter's hyperextended vulnerability) is strong and self-assured". Also commenting, "she has a fine sense of where the heart of a song lies (...) There is a delicateness and vitality in Twiggy's music that is well above the usual MOR fare and one wishes her good luck in a field that is, if anything, more volatile and fickle than the modeling and fashion world".[3]
