Jacqueline Robbins

The Changer and the Changed (1975) was Olivia Records’ second album release, and this album by Cris Williamson quickly became the biggest seller in women’s music, eventually selling 500,000 copies.  Allmusic gives the record its highest rating (five stars), and Stewart Mason has a rave review on the website:  “The simple but rich arrangements set Williamson’s glorious voice and piano against strings, flute, and Jacqueline Robbins’ jazz-inflected fretless bass, giving the album a timeless sound and putting the focus entirely on the songs and Williamson’s elegantly passionate performance of them.”
