The Complete Cass Elliot Solo Collection 1968-71 by Cass Elliot - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

Volume 1

Volume 2

Although she will probably always be first remembered for her work as a member of the Mamas & the Papas, Cass Elliot had a surprisingly productive -- if abbreviated -- solo career after the group called it quits in 1968. She released five albums (and another in which she shared billing with Dave Mason) between 1968 and her death in 1974, and while it’s natural to wonder where this wonderful singer would have taken her talents had she lived longer, she left a larger recorded legacy than most people realize. This two-disc set (covering 1968 to 1971) includes material from her first two solo albums (plus related period songs like the single “Make Your Own Kind of Music”), leaving it as a nice summation of the first half of the post-Mamas & the Papas Cass Elliot story. ~ Steve Leggett
