Jeannie C. Riley - Things Go Better with Love '1969

Tracks list

       Regardless of whether Things Go Better with Love ever appears on CD,
you'll want the original vinyl edition. The cover folds out to create a
three-foot-high poster of Jeannie C. Riley in all her backwoods
babe-aliciousness, clad in silver go-go boots and a glitzy red dress shorter
than a Pentecostal preacher's patience. And you can judge this record by its
cover, because Things Go Better with Love is big, bold, and brash. There's a
bizarrely right-wing feminist anthem called "The Rib" that celebrates women's
lib while placating the bruised egos of menfolk everywhere, as well as "The Back
Side of Dallas," a similarly misguided attempt to recapture the biting social
satire of "Harper Valley P.T.A." Only harebrained ballads like the title cut
make any real sense -- which is fine, because Jeannie's a lover, not a fighter.
