Susan Jacks - Dream (1975) CD Release 2014

Susan Jacks (nee Pesklevits) began her singing career at the age of 14, was a regular performer on a national Canadian television show at 15 and appeared as a guest on numerous other television shows in Canada and the U.S.

At 18, she hired Terry Jacks to accompany her on rhythm guitar. Craig McCaw was soon added on lead guitar and Susan stopped performing solo engagements, dedicating her time to the trio. They would eventually add Satwant Singh on tablas, recording and performing as The Poppy Family featuring Susan Jacks. As the voice of the Poppy Family, Susan and the group recorded a string of hit records, the most notable being "Which Way You Goin' Billy?", "That's Where I Went Wrong" and "Where Evil Grows".

Susan left the Poppy Family in 1972, resuming her solo career and recorded a string of hits through the seventies and eighties. The Dream album, recorded in 1975, was received with rave reviews as she crossed from a predominantly light pop genre to a more alternative format, moving easily through blues, country rock and alternative rock. Produced by Claire Lawrence, who was not only an accomplished rock musician but also an innovative and solid producer, the album was abruptly removed from the market a few short months after its release, its future uncertain. After regaining her rights to the album and re-mastering by the best in the business, this extraordinary album is now available on CD.

Reviews

Dream is definitely the best album of Susan's solo work (she had some great music early post-Poppy, but produced by Terry Jacks, and I'm not aware of a studio album), containing the big Canadian hit "Anna Marie", as well as surprisingly strong versions of "You're a Part of Me", "Love Has No Pride" and "Watching the River Run".

For those not familiar with Susan Jacks & the Poppy Family…. they were somewhat unfairly pigeon-holed as bubble gum. But I believe they had the all-time biggest hit by a Canadian artist on the U.S. charts ("Which Way You Goin', Billy?") until "American Woman" dethroned it. Her ex-husband Terry Jacks gave her some great tunes, but also held her back a bit stylistically- and contributed to their bubble gum classification. (For example: Wouldn't "That's Where I Went Wrong" have been better without the distracting percussion flying back & forth between channels in the refrain?)

Hopefully, that info helps you, AND hopefully the price of this CD will come down a bit!

Review by Dave from the States, Amazon.com

If you have heard the beautiful voice on the Poppy Family records, then you'll instantly recognize the beautiful voice of Susan Jacks….. I had heard some of these songs on Youtube, but this CD a beautifully mastered edition that better highlights Susan's talent at bringing emotional life to the songs. Highly recommend not only for the enjoyment of listening to the songs, but for anyone (uncluding vocalists) who want to listen to a great voice!
