Take Your Love Away

When you immerse yourself in Take Your Love Away, you encounter a melody that invites reflection, with an approximate duration of 2 minutes and 50 seconds. It is a piece that comes from the first album by Mary MacGregor, titled Torn Between Two Lovers, released in December 1976.

This album, which reached number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart, was released with the production and co-authorship of Peter Yarrow. Three singles were released from it, which managed to find a place on both the Country charts and the Hot 100 pop charts. The song that gives the album its name was a resounding success, reaching the top in the pop and adult contemporary categories. At the time, Robert Christgau, in his Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies from 1981, described it as a replacement for Olivia Newton, highlighting the artist's willingness to acknowledge her experiences. For his part, Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times defined it differently.
