''On My Way to Where'' was the first solo LP by Dory Previn, released in 1970. Dory Previn established herself from the late 1950s as a lyricist for movie songs in Hollywood, in the process being nominated for three Academy Awards.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dory-previn-singer-and-songwriter-hailed-for-hersearing-honesty-6945652.html〕 However, by 1970 her marriage to composer and conductor André Previn had disintegrated, following his affair with Mia Farrow and her own mental health problems.〔http://www.ohsofreshmusic.com/2012/03/dory-previn-appreciation-by-kenyon.html〕 She retreated into a hospital, where, as therapy, she was encouraged to write songs of self-analysis.〔http://www.ohsofreshmusic.com/2012/03/dory-previn-appreciation-by-kenyon.html〕 With producer Nik Venet, she recorded ''On My Way To Where'' for his Mediarts company, which was later taken over by United Artists. The album established her as a confessional singer-songwriter, revealing and analysing problems of childhood abuse, mental health and divorce.〔http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dory-previn-singer-and-songwriter-hailed-for-hersearing-honesty-6945652.html〕 "Beware of Young Girls" was a sharp attack on Mia Farrow set to the melody of a traditional lullaby.〔http://www.ohsofreshmusic.com/2012/03/dory-previn-appreciation-by-kenyon.html〕 The songs were performed by many of the top session musicians of the time. In 2013, jazz singer Kate Dimbleby and pianist Naadia Sheriff revisited Previn's body of work -- with special attention to the songs of ''On My Way to Where'' -- in the London cabaret show, ''Beware Of Young Girls: The Dory Previn Story''. 〔http://www.stjamestheatre.co.uk/events/beware-of-young-girls-the-dory-previn-story/〕 〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JskHB-QRHu4&feature=kp〕 ==Track listing== #"Scared To Be Alone" #"I Ain't His Child" #"Esther's First Communion" #"He Lives Alone" #"With My Daddy In The Attic" #"The Veterans Big Parade" #"Michael Michael" #"Beware of Young Girls" #"Twenty-Mile Zone" #"Mr. Whisper" 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「On My Way to Where」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
