Kate and Anna McGarrigle
Omnivore delivers a CD debut for Kate and Anna McGarrigle's third album and their final LP for Warner Bros. Records. Featuring A-list musicians including Steve Gadd, David Spinozza, Bernard Purdie, Gary Mallaber, Grady Tate and Tony Levin, Pronto (so titled for the rough pronunciation of the French "prends ton manteau," or "take your coat") was produced by David Nichtern, who added a bit of pop flair to the folk duo's compositions. In addition to the McGarrigles' own songs, Pronto offered Nichtern's "Just Another Broken Heart," a cover of the oldie and Elvis Presley favorite "Tryin' to Get to You," and "Cover Up My Head" from Hair composer Galt MacDermot.
