| | Description: | Norma Tanega is best-known for her single ??Walkin?? My Cat Named Dog?? which became an unlikely international hit in 1966. It not only brought her into the spotlight, but to the UK where she toured, appeared on TV and started a long-term relationship with Dusty Springfield.
Tanega would later move to the UK to live with Springfield. Still a musical force she signed to the UK arm of RCA-Victor and in 1971 released a single ??Nothing Much Is Happening Today?? / ??Antarctic Rose?? and an album called ??I Don??t Think It Will Hurt If You Smile?. Neither sold strongly and splitting up with Springfield, Tanega returned to America.
In recent years original copies of ??I Don??t Think It Will Hurt If You Smile? have become highly sought after by collectors of folk and psychedelic folk and change hands for up to £400. The album has, until now, never been reissued on vinyl.
Produced by Don Paul, Tanega worked in the studio with multi-instrumentalist Mike Moran and the results were an amazing confection. ??Nothing Much Is Happening Today?? might have been an unlikely single but today sounds like an earworm especially when halfway through it sounds like Pink Floyd are backing Tanega. ??What More In The World Could Anyone Be Looking For?? appears as two version ?? one lushly arranged and the other presented as simple folk song. Both are winner. ??A Goodbye Song?? is a small treasure box about losing love. The album is glued together by a number of short intrumentals.
All told ??I Don??t Think It Will Hurt If You Smile? is a lost classic.
The CD edition contains four bonus tracks. With liner-notes by Bob Stanley - I Don??t Think It Will Hurt If You Order One Today? - Norma Tanega is best-known for her single 'Walkin' My Cat Named Dog' which became an unlikely international hit in 1966. It not only brought her into the spotlight, but to the UK where she toured, appeared on TV and started a long-term relationship with Dusty Springfield. Tanega would later move to the UK to live with Springfield. Still a musical force she signed to the UK arm of RCA-Victor and in 1971 released a single 'Nothing Much Is Happening Today' / 'Antarctic Rose' and an album called "I Don't Think It Will Hurt If You Smile". Neither sold strongly and splitting up with Springfield, Tanega returned to America. In recent years original copies of "I Don't Think It Will Hurt If You Smile" have become highly sought after by collectors of folk and psychedelic folk and change hands for up to 400.

'Nothing Much Is Happening Today' might have been an unlikely single but today sounds like an earworm especially when halfway through it sounds like Pink Floyd are backing Tanega. 'What More In The World Could Anyone Be Looking For' appears in two versions - one lushly arranged and the other presented as simple folk song. Both are winners. 'A Goodbye Song' is a small treasure box about losing love. The album is glued together by a number of short instrumentals from harpsichord pieces to strummed magnificence."I Don't Think It Will Hurt If You Smile (+Bonus)" is a CD release by singer-songwriter Norma Tanega that invites listeners into her unique world of off-beat folk-pop, poetic storytelling and understated emotional depth. Known for her distinctive songwriting in the 1960s, Tanega blends gentle melodies with subtle wit and introspection, resulting in songs that feel both intimate and quietly adventurous. The collection on this CD (including the bonus material) showcases her warm, slightly unconventional vocal style and her ability to craft tunes that linger in the mind long after they end. The arrangements move between reflective acoustic moments and more rhythmically driven, lightly psychedelic folk-influenced pop, making the album appealing both to long-time fans and to new listeners discovering her work as a cult favorite. The "+Bonus" designation points to additional tracks that deepen the portrait of Tanega as a songwriter--whether through rare cuts, alternate versions or other complementary material that rounds out the listening experience.
Norma Tanega made her mark in the 1960s with idiosyncratic folk-pop that never fully fit into commercial categories, which is precisely why she has been rediscovered and cherished by later generations. Her songs often combine simple, memorable melodies with unexpected lyrical turns, giving her music a timeless charm. This CD highlights her talent for blending melancholy with optimism; the title "I Don't Think It Will Hurt If You Smile" captures that balance of vulnerability and gentle encouragement that runs through much of her work. A concise artist bio would note that Tanega, though not a mainstream chart powerhouse, has achieved lasting recognition among connoisseurs of folk, baroque pop and left-field singer-songwriters, with her recordings often cited as influential, ahead-of-their-time cult classics.
The CD format underlines the care given to sound quality and sequencing, allowing the songs to unfold as a coherent, narrative-like journey rather than just a collection of tracks. Listeners can expect a carefully curated flow that places the core album material in context with the bonus content, presenting a fuller impression of Tanega's creative range. The physical release is also ideal for collectors who appreciate tangible music editions and detailed accompanying booklets, should one be included.
