But she remains best known for the six albums of original songs and one live album she released in a confessional, singer-songwriter style between 1970 and 1976.
Thereafter, she was worked as an actress and a dancer, until she began writing song lyrics, which landed her a job at MGM where she wrote under the name Dory Langdon.

In May 1957, not long after Dory Langdon had moved to California and become a lyricist for the movies, Verve Records agreed to record her singing an album's worth of her songs, provided she could get one of her collaborators, composer André Previn, to accompany her on piano.
Previn and Burrell added numerous light jazz touches, for an enjoyable record that vanished not long after having been released.
Eleven years after that, she re-launched her singing career as the confessional singer-songwriter Dory Previn.

The only thing I knew about Dory, was that she was, or had been married to Andre Previn, and that she had written the lyrics to "Valley of the Dolls".
Dory is probably the most prolific female songwriter of the '60's and '70's, and yet not widly recognized at all.
I remembered Dory Previn only for her 70s song "Midnight On the Oasis" which tragically has not been reissued on CD.

While it would have made more sense to do it in the correct order, matching these two albums, which followed each other and were both released in 1971, is less jarring than the other pairing.
Mythical Kings and Iguanas is Previn's most consistent and accessible album, one on which the confessional tone of On My Way to Where is more tempered by craft.
It is as idiosyncratic as it is compelling, but probably the least conventional part of Previn's recorded work, which means it makes an odd ending to a CD that began with the more easily engaging material on Mythical Kings.
