Press Reviews HARRIET SCHOCK American Romance Future Schock FSD-19201-2 Best-known for writing Helen Reddy's 1975 smash `Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady,´ Harriet Schock defies easy categorization: composer, vocalist, musician, teacher, author. Such wide-ranging experience allows Schock to explore lyrical and melodic subtleties on her latest CD, American Romance (previously issued on cassette). According to the credits, Nik Venet `produced and directed´ American Romance, a tribute to the late producer's conceptualizing the disc as a seamless union of eight individual ballads. Nowhere is this more evident than on `The Lady Suite,´ a fresh seven minute interpretation of `Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady´ and `One Time Lover.´ Emphasizing the melody, arrangement, and singer -- pianist, Venet adds understated strings and atmospheric backgroud vocals, spotlighting the song and composer. Songs like `OK You Win, I Give Up´ and the title track would be hits, if today's radio formats broke free of their narrow restrictions. Celebrating the cherished memories a parent imprints on a child, Schock connects her personal longings to universal sentiments on `Dancing With My Father.´ In a rather different manner, `Coyote´ empathizes with the plight of that animal as development encroaches. More than echoing the singer-songwriter tradition, American Romance renews popular music for the 21st century. Joe Tortelli/ Discoveries Magazine/ January 2001
