About this album

Lazy Afternoon is a richly poised Barbra Streisand album that bridges torch song intimacy, jazz phrasing and polished 1970s pop. Issued in 1975, it finds Streisand working in a more mature, understated register, shaping material by writers including Paul Williams, Gerry Goffin and Johnny Mercer with remarkable control and emotional detail. The set moves easily from the title track’s hushed melancholy to the soulful lift of Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over), while My Father’s Song and Moanin’ Low underline her range as an interpreter. It stands as one of the more refined statements in her mid-1970s catalogue.
