There's one song on this 2-CD set that's worth the price alone: the achingly beautiful "I've Been To Town". When you add the other 23 songs, all prime Glen in their own right, you've got a real bargain. Anybody who's familiar with Glen's music, knows what I'm saying. Glen has a way of expressing himself musically that brings out the deepest emotions of the human heart. Highly recommended.

I'm not an expert on this artist; I remember his work in folk music and the amazing nobody-can-do-it-better "Baby, the Rain Must Fall". But I sat transfixed by him when he appeared at the State Fair, not a false note. The crowd loved him. This is a singer who never had to produce hit singles, just any tune will do once you get into his music. And apparently he never worried about hits as such, as he would make some money and go sailing about the world for the longest time and be welcomed back whenever he decided to return. If you're not hung up on chart toppers, this is a great listenable album for those who like someone who knows how to sing and has the voice to back it up.

I grew up listening to these albums with my parents, and Glenn's voice always brings me back to a simpler time. His smooth and powerful voice has to be appreciated by anyone who truely appreciates good music...regardless of your age. You don't here voices like Glenn's anymore.

I listened to Glenn Yarbrough's music during my 20s and 30s. I loved his music then and I love it now, for his powerful, unique, haunting voice moves me more than any other singer I have ever heard. So much emotion, so close. He truly is a remarkable artist. Sail on, sweet man.

My husband and I had the LP of this album 30 years ago. We loaned it to a friend, and we never got it back. Especially after seeing Yarbrough in concert, we have always regretted it, but that night, he said, "This song, I will sing as long as I can draw breath." As I'd hoped, he spoke of Phil Ochs' magnificent, "Crucifixion," a song about all martyrs. Ochs, perhaps a better poet than Bob Dylan, made my hair stand on end then, as he does now. It is heaven to have this magnificent CD coming back to me.

I bought this DVD because I lost my original of Baby the Rain Must Fall - and love Glenn - decided my life was much the poorer without this album. The It's Gonna Be Fine part of the DVD doesn't do too much for me, a surprise (which is cool, since the price is not excessive) - I have rarely heard Glenn and not adored his music, it's listen to-able, but not as good as his other albums (nor do I have an appreciation for the one he did with his daughter, sigh). But, I have loved his style, voice, arrangements, all of it, since I was introduced to him as a young adult. I listen to him over and over and never tire of it.

The CD was and is great. Keep listening to it all the time during my working-in-the-garage hours.

sinply a great twosome cd

This CD I purchased delivers the true sound quality I have been accustomed to since the creation of the compact disc. Not a flaw in any note or song. The service from Amazon is superb and it was delivered right on time when expected.

Try it, you'll like it. Very easy listening, but not boring. At this time in his career, I suspect most buyers want something to replace their worn out records.
