Barbra Streisand - ButterFly
Information
Out of all of Barbra Streisand's albums, this is probably one of her oddest (save, say, Barbra Streisand and Other Musical Instruments). The songs are pure 60s/early 70s rock, sound very hippy-ish, and are more fascinating than engrossing. It is semi-notorious for being produced by her boyfriend at the time, Jon Peters, who at that point had no experiencing producing movies or music. And while it is an album that requires multiple listens to completely appreciate, there are some good recordings on here.
Her last album, The Way We Were, was purely commercial, as it was released to promote the single of the same name, and hence was hastily put together from leftover tracks from past recording sessions, so it is understandable that Barbra wanted to do something different (again). Admittedly, many of the songs first listens will go in one ear and out the other, particularly many in the middle, such as "I Won't Last a Day Without You," "Life on Mars," and "Crying Time." But the more often you hear it, the better they sound. The only two songs that will capture your attention with one listen are "Love in the Aftermoon" (beautiful and romantic) and "Guava Jelly" (a catchy, if not altogether successful attempt at reggae).
In short, while the album is not the best, it is not terrible, especially if you listen to it more than once. It will eventually sound good, and be a great part of your CD collection. Not for novices of Barbra Streisand, but good for her fans that want to hear her do something different.
