Jazz and folk singer Ryoko Moriyama got her start in the 1960s and scored a number of hits in Japan. This top 10 LP (in Japan) finds Moriyama traveling to Music City and enlisting the help of harmonica great Charlie McCoy. It's more of a 60s-style chamber pop LP than a country record with tracks like "Honey," "Frank Mills" (from Hair) and a few Japanese numbers, but she does get out of town with a version of Green Green Grass of Home. I bought this album mainly for the cover, but I throw it on every now and again. Moriyama, by the way is still active today, and as lovely as ever, it would seem.
Joining you in the well wishes for the storm victims, Thomas. I have a little bit of family near Nashville, but have not yet been able to confirm whether they were affected.
