A largely under-appreciated gem--by 1974, the singer-songwriter genre was well past its commercial peak--WRAP AROUND JOY was still a commercial success, largely due to the terrific top 10 single "Jazzman." A return to TAPESTRY-style basics after the orchestral experiments of 1973`s FANTASY, WRAP AROUND JOY is a bit slicker and fuller than that watershed album. Also, because limits herself to writing only the music, leaving the lyrics to longtime friend David Palmer, there seems to be somewhat less intimacy than listeners will find on more autobiographical albums like MUSIC. On the other hand, this is still a terrific album, with the gently swinging kiss-off "You Go your Way, I`ll Go Mine" and the wistful "Change In Mind, Change of Heart" among the highest points.
