Here's an interesting LP from the early career of Cher.
It features Dr. John (credited as Mack Rebennack) on guitar, and New Orleans producer Harlold Batiste arranging and conducting. For Dr. John fans, this is a great glimpse at one of the good doctor's earliest sessions - before he switched from guitar to piano and changed his name to Dr. John!
Sonny Bono produced the session and wrote the liner notes, in which he says, "Mack Rebennack, who talks so hip you need a de-coder to understand him, guitar" and "Harold Battiste, who bears a strong resemblance to Mr. Clean, arranger and conductor."
The choice of songs is interesting, including some popular folk songs of the day by Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Peter, Paul & Mary, etc..
Cher fan club information (of the day) is also noted on the back cover.
