Dion’s ’75 excursion with Phil Spector, Born To Be With You is often lauded as his masterpiece. But Wonder Where I’m Bound, a US-only LP comprised mostly of outtakes released to cash in with 1968 hit, “Abraham, Martin & John”, is long due reappraisal, too. This was largely recorded in 1964/5, and buried among the expected doo-wop material were some good surprises, including the fiery garage blues of Willie Dixon’s “The Seventh Son”, and a haunting take on the title track, written by Tom Paxton, which featured a pre-Highway 61 Al Kooper on keys. Dion’s version of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” is astonishing – West Coast folk-rock with added NY grime, it manages to recall The Velvet Underground at their most melodic. But Dion got there first!
