Liza Minnelli is a self-titled studio album by Liza Minnelli. Released on February 26, 1968 by A&M Records in the United States, it contains her interpretations of pop/rock and singer/songwriters' songs.

Album information

Unlike the songs and performances she is today mostly known for, when Minnelli recorded her three studio albums for A&M Records, she chose songs by late '60s and early '70s pop/rock and singer/songwriters. The main inspiration for this change in direction were Peter Allen (the singer's husband at the time) and producer Larry Marks. They were both very fond of Randy Newman, the artist who is the most prominent composer on this collection. The overall mood of this album is somewhat quirky. This and subsequent albums for the label, much like the previous Capitol Records ones, failed to sell or chart. Only a third of the albums managed to crack the Billboard Top 200, but none produced any kind of hit. By then Minnelli had decided to go back to the kind of songs she and her mother usually preferred delivering.
