O’s Notes: Times Like These is a collection of songs about beginnings and endings of relationships but more importantly we find another story describing the path of singer Nica Carrington. She was inspired by the loneliness of the pandemic to focus on her music career, taking lessons and collaborating with pianist, arranger, producer John Proulx. Add Chuck Berghofer (b) and Joe LaBarbera (d) to arrive at a set of classics that warm the soul. “The Summer Knows”, “The Shadow of Your Smile”, “Here’s To Life” and “Left Alone” are highlights.
