    LORA LEE AMRAM, The Other Side
    (CD12): This one lands smack in the middle of
    adult contemporaryland. Not made for kiddies,
    but for those with kiddies, Lora Lee Amram has
    assembled one hell of a cast of musicians who
    lend a colorful variety of feeling and texture to
    her intelligent, insightful songwriting. Fleeting
    reminders of Toni Mitchell appear from time to
    time, not only in terms of lyrical quality but also
    in the smart combination of musical stylings,
    from folk to Brazilian-flavored jazz. The
    production is top-notch, as are the arrangenients.
    My favorite tracks are "The Hawk." "Neurotic.
    and "Keys." Each one is as different from the
    other as is imaginable, which only serves to
    highlight the range of their author's capabilities. -
