I agree. And Love Song (Capitol ST 11266), her fourth and latest al- bum, amply corroborates that assessment. The voice is there, clear and full, and with the kind of control -that few popular wo- men singers can match. Murray has p u I I e d together material covering a wide r:nge of musical genres, and makes most, if not all, of it work. The advantage of this kind of sampler is obvious: songs change and sometimes grow from new interpretations, it's fun, and we can all learn from the endeavor. The disadvantages are subtler: insipid work, whether front lack of attention or lack of ability detracts from the enjoyment of' both artist and artwork. That's usually not a catastrophe - cer- tainly not in the case of Love Song-but it does inject a note of melancholy. Hugely talented people-musi- cians, arrangers, production per- sonnel, even the photographers who did the album cover-have flocked to work with Anne Mur- ray, in part because she's proved herself capable of delivering fine performances of stuff ranging from blues to country to rock to gooey romantic ballads. So why does she insist on singing Mo- town? Ask any gypsy. "Just One Look" is safely the album - cut - to - drop - a - brick- on - of - the - week. Everyone sings and plays all the right notes at the right time, but it just doesn't have the basis of creative raunch that would have made it worth listening to. Lennon and McCartney's "You Won't See Me" works better, but Murray's sunniness overpowers the wail of desperation that the song needs. On the other hand, she sal- vages everything possible in Mancini and David's "Send A Little Love My Way," but I don't understand why she felt a need to salvage anything from the film score of Oklahoma Crude. But do not be deceived: Love Song is a fine record, one that deserves c 1 o s e attention. The title song will make the toughest honcho get all warm and mushy inside. "Children of My Mind" is a strong and powerful statement of an artist's need to be heard and understood. I have the notion that Murray is the kind of person who tries to live with tenderness and con- cern, who lives by reaching out. That concern shines through all of the nmbers, but especially in "Real Emotion," Loggins and Messina's "Watching the River Run," and "Son of a Rotten G a m b 1 e r." And "Backstreet Lovin"' is excellent bittersweet blues. My favorite is Paul Grady's "Another Pot of Tea," which is the kind of gentle, gracious, and carefully-focused vignette t h a t will make me listen to almost anything Annie M u r r a y ever sings-even Motown-even love songs. I Message By BARBARA CORNELL re t They'll perform for just about anyone - high school audiences, fo migrant workers, poor people, ci and University audiences - to sa spread their message. of They are a boistrous group, ex- an '{pecting and receiving input from B the audience: hoots for the bad guys, and rowdy applause and Cl cheering for the good guys. ve Their performance was part of sa the Chicano Awareness W e e k Festivities, which aims to show is the problems faced by Chicano th students, and emphasize their unity. sa The idea for the Teatro de los s Estudiantes grew out of an Amer- ican Studies course taught by . Fernando Gomez. According to. IX ou Gomez, it is one of the 73 to S c 100 Chicano theatre groups in sju the U.S. Gomez said that his theatre is "a reflection of life," and em- in' AP Photo phasized that the group was not vi erP? strictly propagandist. ig "People tend to get toa hung g r in Win- up with labels," he said, "and he movie people say Chicano Therre is a Boston political, but it is no more so eators of than any other theatre." hem. He He said that the groun philoso- ars." phy was based on the Aztec idea that "You are my other self. I love and respect you. I love and to the spect myself." The material the group per- rms is somewhere between so- al satire and comedy, Gomez aid. He added that it is a way saying, "Yo soy Chicano (I m Chicano), I am not the Frito andito." "It is a way to show that hicano culture is "just as di- erse as any other culture," he id. The goal of the presentations to destroy the stereotypes of e media and his society by owing its absurdity. Gomez id the group does not achieve s point by insulting other cas- . We don't want to harm any- ne else. We want to tell about ur culture. We don't want to ream for justice and not give stice." Two months after the group's ception, it has already been in- ted to perform at Eastern Mich- an University, Western Michi- an University and for the Ad- masses rian, Ann Arbor and Willow Run public schools. They have also been invited to perform at the Chicano Theatre Festival in Mexico City in June. The group has both Chicano and non-Chicano members. "They are not tokens by any means," said Gomez. "We want to create the feeling that somehow whire., brown, black, or whatever, we're all people." Along with making perform- ances, the group has also been asked by the University to make a documentary on their efforts in forming their company, and they are also compiling an anthology of Chicano drama, myths, bal- lads, and "acts," or short plays which Gomez insists "are not in a skit, but an act because it is too serious to be called a skit," Said Gomez, "We want to gen- erate a consciousness among our people. We're defining for our- selves what our literature and culture is."
