ABOUT THE RECORD Following Melanie's success at the Woodstock Festival in 1969 Buddha repackaged her debut album, Born to Be and reissued the album as My First Album. On the album, she is cast in a number of characters: Piaf-imitating chanteuse (In the Hour), soul-searching, angst-heavy troubadour (Momma Momma), giggling novelty figure (Animal Crackers) and children's entertainer (Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers). Surprising the experiment works; the small ensemble, led by her own enthusiastic guitar playing creates an arty, coffeehouse ambience in which Melanie flourishes. Bobo's Party became a hit in France in 1970.
