Music Reviews: After 52 Years, Dion’s ‘Kickin’ Child’ Sees the Light of Day, plus Big Star’s Chris Bell, and More

This album—the first by Dion to be conceived and sequenced for LP release—would have been one of the best folk/rock entries of the mid 1960s, thanks to strong, highly accessible material, ear-candy backup harmonies, and Dion’s peerless vocals. But it stayed in the can for half a century.
