1 , 'A- I ! if 14 . ,'3 B a P Dy CUFTON DAHNIS Janis lan's new album Restless Eyes does not signal a new Ian as advertised by Columbia Records, but it does show a return to basics. , Gone are the oboes, French horns, violas, saxophones and other orchestration. Domi nant are the guitar and the piano and the drums. and most of all the voice, lan's voice remains unchanged. This album, as an entity, is better than the last three or four Ian albums. However, indi vidual songs on a couple of those albums are better than any one song on Restless Eyes. lan's last album. Night. Rains, was commer cially a flop but several songs, "The Other Side of the Sun," "Here Comes the Night". "Have Mercy Love" and "Photographs" are just as good if not better than any one selec tion on Restless Eyes. Still, the latest album is better because it is consistent and because ian abandoned the disco influence she used on such songs as "Fly Too H igh" co-written by C iorgb Moroder for the motion picture The Foxes. Ian has said she is dissatisfied with elec tronics and is not interested in a string of hits but instead a body of work. In 1 975's Grammy winner, Between the Lines, she found both an excellent body of work and a couple of hits, most notably "At Seventeen." Six years later she has rediscovered a solid album in Restless Eyes but she will not have a string of hits. This is not to say that one or two of the se lections should not be hits but they do not have much AM radio potential. FM album stations, however, will probably make this lan's most successful commercial album since Between the Lines and A ftertones.' "Under the Covers" has been released as a single and is doing moderately well. Typical is the harmony and lan's soft voice; unusual is the Latin influence and the risque words: They make better lovers or so I've been told Under the covers that's where you discover , if your man is whole ; . They don't come easy but they're worth the time and if you please me, . Maybe I'll let you be mine..

The sad, insecure Janis Ian words leave for a more mature fan lyric. ' The best cutsalong with "Under the Cov ers," are "I Remember Yesterday," "Passion Play," "Down and Away" and the title cut "Restless Eyes." VI Remember Yesterday" is a pop rock mid-tempo, piano-oriented song that returns to the broken romance type lyric of past albums. : "Passion Play" is a folksy guitar-dominant tune. Ian plays rhythm and acoustic guitar while Buzzy Feiten handles lead and electric guitar. Ian uses her voice range well, espe cially in the chorus, the song sounds similar to the title track from lan's 1978 album Grand Illusion - Ian puts as much feeling as possible in "Down and Away." The listener has to feel as if he is trespassing in her soul. One gets the feeling that Ian is sitting and staring as if in a daze while she sings this song. Obviously, this is a very vocal song with just enough in strumentation. ' . "Restless Eyes" is simple, soft music and interesting words rolled into one song. It is a very strong addition to the album and would be a strong addition to any of lan's albums including the Between the Lines album.- The most pleasant surprise on the album Is the final song, "Sugar Mountain." John Crowded harmony vocals and the addition of fiddles make this a fun country bluegrass tune.- .
