B.J. Ward - Vocal Ease Catfish 5C 062-24323 (1974)Solo outing from Ms. Ward of 'Inner Dialogue' fame. A melange of jazzy, funky soft-rock musings out of Holland, highly sought after and fetching crazy money for an original - I'll let you believe the hype or otherwise. That said, what we do have are some groovy, upbeat covers of the likes of Neil Young, Tom Jones, Gerry Rafferty, The Beach Boys & Rachmaninov! along side groovy originals and lushly arranged jazzy ballads. All odd but it works very well.
The Dutch band feature Henny Kluvers - Flute, Frank van Luin - Bass Trombone, Richard Pullin - Trombone, Carl Schultze - Vibes, Donn Trenner - Piano & Organ, Thijmen Hoolwerf - Guitar, Frank Noya - Bass, Eric Ineke & Cor van den Berg - Drums, George Souto - Percussion with a string section comprising Sem Nijveen, Bennie Behr, Lex Cachet, Lucien Grignard, Ronald Kok, Guus Valten, G. Gerritsen & Carlo Carcassoia.

Good stuff here, mehn, Quimsy. Any chance of getting an up of the Inner Dialogue album?
Thanks so much for posting this link! I heard "The Loner" on radioeins (Berlin) online, and no amount of googling "the longer female cover version" was helping (fortunately they actually correctly listed the artist in the playlist on site). Googled her name and found this page, almost exactly 2 years after you posted it. Yay internet! :-)
@Christopher: Amazing. Exactly the same way I got here.
Lustiger Zufall der verschiedene Leute zur selben entlegenen Stelle im Internet führt. :-)
And man I really do love her version of the loner.
I just love that music because is very inspirational, and I will find everything about Carlo Carcassoia because he is the best in his category.
wow..........loved it
Excellent! Dutch vinyl sounds years ahead of their US counterparts in most cases. I hope to come across this one. Come visit me Quimsy.
