Paul
McCartney produced this debut album of twee but pretty, romantic
pop-folk. Besides "Those Were the Days" the highlights are Donovan's
"Lord of the Reedy River" and "The Honeymoon Song," which
McCartney himself had sung with the Beatles way
back in 1963 on the BBC. If there's a fault to be found, it's that there's too
high a percentage of pre-rock/pop standards à la "There's No Business Like
Show Business." As it turns out this was more due to the leanings of
McCartney than Hopkin, who preferred the more simply arranged folk numbers such
as the Donovan covers
and the Welsh "Y Blodyn Gwyn." Also on board is a rather nice
composition, "The Game," by Beatles producer George Martin,
who contributed some piano and orchestra conducting to the album.
