From the start of her career, Jackie DeShannon was a great singer, with a strong instrument and a fine sense of how to invest her performances with emotion and nuance. However, DeShannon has said more than once that Liberty, the label that she was signed to through the 1960s, was more interested in her as a songwriter than a performer (shed already penned a hit for Brenda Lee, "Alone with You"). So it was a real paradox that when she recorded her first LP in 1963, Liberty insisted that she record a set of covers rather than her own material. (The album included three tracks by Bob Dylan, only months after the release of The Freewheelin Bob Dylan, though the label turned down her suggestion to cut a full album of his work.) DeShannons debut was a glossy exercise in commercial folk music, but 2026s Girl of Yesterday: Acoustic Folk Demos gives a picture of what it could have been if her label had shown a bit more confidence in their new signing. Girl of Yesterday features acoustic demos of 12 songs DeShannon cut for her publishing company, Metric Music, which distributed the recordings to producers and A&R personnel looking for fresh material for their artists, and in most respects its a more impressive set of work than DeShannons official Liberty debut. These recordings capture her performing solo, with her vocals accompanied only by her own acoustic guitar, and the intimacy of the performances is remarkable and effective. If the recording doesnt always flatter her upper range, her vocals are outstanding, filling the songs with body and spirit that beautifully reflects the emotional colors of the lyrics, and her guitar work is very good, with her fingerpicking occasionally suggesting shed been listening to John Fahey and soaked up a bit of his stylish primitivism. And these songs are first-rate throughout; the sweet sadness of "Your Heart is Missing," "Splendor in the Grass," and the title track is affecting without turning saccharine, "New Thoughts" and "Its Gonna Be All Right" (the latter recorded by the Byrds as "Dont Doubt Yourself, Babe") are splendid examples of nascent folk-rock, and "Whats It All About" and "Too Far Out" find her absorbing Dylans influence and filling the tunes with a cool swagger of her own. Girl of Yesterday: Acoustic Folk Demos marks the first time these recordings have received a commercial release, and while DeShannon has long had an estimable reputation as a tunesmith and singer, this collection gives an even fuller appreciation of the range of her talents -- she could have easily been a significant figure on the Greenwich Village folk scene or part of the budding singer/songwriter movement with work like this. ~ Mark Deming
