She sounds like she's uttering the songs for the first time, as if they've been wrenched from the livid flesh of experience."<br /><br />And 'yes' for Harvey Brooks getting some recognition. <br /><br />Also listen to Something On Your Mind (Dino Valenti) and In A Station (Richard Manuel) from this album.

With most 'lost classics' you expect the inevitable poor sound quality; this sounds pretty pristine; the fiddles wail; her 12 string shimmers; and the voice... I've read it described as Hillbilly Holliday which kind of describes and insults at the same time...<br />You can hear the need to nail; no 2nd take rule often gets performances that linger... Seems that hers was a short and sorry existence.Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.com
