''Motor-Cycle'' is the debut album by singer-songwriter Lotti Golden released on Atlantic Records in 1969.〔David Edwards, Patrice Eyries, and Mike Callahan) ("Atlantic Album Discography, Part 5" ). 8000 Series (1968-1972) SD-8198 to SD- 8305〕 The album is an autobiographical account of Golden's immersion in the life of New York's East Village,〔Saal, Hubert (July 14, 1969). " The Girl's-Letting Go". Newsweek, pp. 68,71.〕 written in music & lyrics because, according to Golden, "a book is too flat.” 〔Hentoff, Nat (July, 1969) "Cosmo Listens to Records". Cosmopolitan, p.74.〕 ''Motor-Cycle'' describes the underground world of the late 60's counterculture, “down to the last seconal capsule.”〔Barry, Thomas (Sept 9, 1969). "The Salty Socking Soul of Lotti Golden". ''Look'', pp. 76,76,78〕 ''Newsweek'' hailed Golden as a new breed of female troubadour—an artist who not only sings, but writes her own songs: "What is common to them -- to Joni Mitchell and Lotti Golden, to Laura Nyro, () Melanie... are the personalized songs they write, like voyages of self discovery…startling in the impact of their poetry."〔 Listed among the most influential albums of the era in ''The New York Times'', "The Best of Rock: A Personal Discography," by music critic Nat Hentoff,〔Hentoff, Nat (March 8, 1970). ("The Best of Rock: A Personal Discography" ). Sunday Section: Rock Recordings, ''The New York Times'', p. M3.〕 ''Motor-Cycle'' is a synthesis of stream of consciousness confessional poetry, R&B infused vocals and a "sometimes satiric mélange of rock, jazz, blues and soul"〔 with lyrics that evoke "a Kerouac novel."〔Otto, Amanda (August 25, 2009). Needle Points, ("Who The #@%! Is Lotti Golden" ), Gutter Magazine〕 Golden's coming of age saga is likely the first rock concept album by a female recording artist.〔Baker, Robb, (June, 8 1969). "The Sound" Chicago Tribune p.S2〕 On an album of "restlessly epic roadhouse suites"〔PATH ( May 29, 2008). 1969 ("Lotti Golden- Motor-Cycle" ), Delorean, Tiny Mix Tapes〕 Golden uses the story-based format, featuring a cast of archetypal characters while playing the part of "emcee" of her own "aberrant cabaret."〔 Music critic Path, of Tiny Mix Tapes, explains how ''Motor-Cycle'' plays like a musical, transporting the listener to the late 60's underground: "Golden gets help on ''Motor-Cycle'' from an impeccably arranged Atlantic Records session band… with a flawless, swinging rhythm team. Then, at key moments, the curtain goes up and they've got rows of saxes, trumpets, vibes…and you begin to realize that this is not the same song and dance… it's as if The Velvet Underground recorded for Motown."〔 Golden writes of a "season in hell "〔 she somehow manages to survive. "It's an extraordinary evocation of a life-style… and one girl's plunge into and out of it."〔 ==Track listing== #"Motor-cycle Michael" #"Gonna Fay's" #"A Lot Like Lucifer (Celia Said Long Time Loser)" #"The Space Queens (Silky is Sad)" #"Who Are Your Friends" #"Get Together (With Yourself)" #"You Can Find Him" 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「Motor-Cycle (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
