Janis Ian turned to producer Gary Klein and a backup group of L.A.
session aces after the commercial failure of Night Rains, and they gave her the kind of pop-rock album that people like Carly Simon turned out regularly.
Despite the liner notes by former New York Times music critic Robert Shelton, little here was distinctive, and when the album failed to restore Ian's commercial fortunes, she retired for the second time at the age of 30.
