Hugs & Misses: Susan Cowsill

Category : Reviews

As you may know, Susan was a member of the 1960s pop group The Cowsills, and she obviously learned the value of writing songs you can hum after one listen. A couple tracks of note: she does a version of Sandy Denny’s Who Knows Where the Time Goes, a song covered so many times I cringed when I saw it listed. But she makes the tune her own, and worth listening to. Also, she does a dead-on version of the Beach Boys’ Don’t Worry Baby that deserves to be a hit on Triple A radio. By the way, Just Believe It was released last fall, and Hurricane Katrina apparently messed up its promotion, according to what I heard when Susan played the Narrows Center for the Arts recently. I hope Americana and Triple A stations will give this record a chance. For those who like to know such things, Lucinda Williams and Adam Duritz contribute vocals.
