''Heaven Help the Child'' is the 1973 album by country singer-songwriter Mickey Newbury. The album was Newbury's third consecutive release recorded at Cinderella Studios. Noted for its dramatic remakes of four previous Newbury songs: "Sweet Memories", "Good Morning Dear" from ''Harlequin Melodies'', "Sunshine" from ''Sings His Own'' and "San Francisco Mabel Joy" from ''Looks Like Rain'', the album is considered equal among Newbury's acclaimed ''Looks Like Rain'' and ''Frisco Mabel Joy''. Apart from its definitive versions of three of Newbury's early songwriting hits, the album is also acclaimed for its title track, with its multi-generation narrative, the haunting "Cortelia Clark," and the bluegrass classic "Why You Been Gone So Long." ''Allmusic Guide'': "Newbury, for the third time in as many recording sessions, came up with a record that defies categorization. And for the third time in a row, he had done the impossible, created a masterpiece, a work of perfection. " ''Heaven Help The Child'' was collected for CD issue on the eight-disc Mickey Newbury Collection from Mountain Retreat, Newbury's own label in the mid-1990s, along with nine other Newbury albums from 1969-1981. In 2011, it was reissued again as part of the four-disc Mickey Newbury box set ''An American Trilogy'' on Saint Cecilia Knows, alongside two other albums recorded at Cinderella Sound, ''Looks Like Rain'' and ''Frisco Mabel Joy''. This release marks the first time that ''Heaven Help The Child'' has been released on CD in remastered form, after the original master tapes (long thought to have been destroyed in a fire) were rediscovered in 2010. ==Track listing== All tracks composed by Mickey Newbury #"Heaven Help The Child" - 5:16 #"Good Morning Dear" - 5:18 #"Sunshine" - 4:34 #"Sweet Memories" - 3:28 #"Why You Been Gone So Long" - 3:27 #"Cortelia Clark" - 5:12 #"Song For Susan" - 4:30 #"San Francisco Mabel Joy" - 5:43 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heaven Help the Child」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
