Of all the Mamas and Papas, Cass Elliot was the best poised for solo stardom. After all, she had That Voice, and a command of musical styles reaching back into Tin Pan Alley. And while she was the first of the band out of the chute with a solo album, she sort of eased into it with the other Mama and Papas backing her on “Dream A Little Dream Of Me.” In the three years she was a solo artist for ABC/Dunhill, she released two albums (Dream A Little Dream Of Me and Bubble Gum, Lemonade And… Something for Mama, later retitled Make Your Own Kind Of Music) and a handful of singles, all of which are included on The Complete Cass Elliot Solo Collection 1968-1971. During our excursions in the vaults, we came across three tracks that had never been released in any form: Cass’ cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Sisotowbell Lane,” a version of John Sebastian’s “Darling Be Home Soon,” and the Cashman, Pistilli & West tune “For As Long As You Need Me.”
