SONNY & CHER: "Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer, Papa Used to Write All Her Songs"

Original released on LP MCA 2102

(US, February 1973)

At their best, Sonny and Cher were about having good, semi-clean, campy fun.  Cher would wear her outfits and insult Sonny, they'd sing their songs to cheesy arrangements and occasionally you'd hear something that might make you sit up a little and say to yourself "Hey, that's ain't half bad." "Mama Was A Rock and Roll Singer, Papa Used to Write All Her Songs" is a little different, there are no fun parts. It's not for lack of effort, mind you, but they just can't get things moving in the right direction. Everything that came naturally in the records and shows before this album now sounds forced. The arrangements are corny, but who cares? The life has left their relationship, and you can hear it on the tracks of this album. (in RateYourMusic)
