There are a number of wonderful works on this offering, but I always turn to Danny's Downs first. It's a wonderfully crafted piece that will find your heart no matter where you are, what you're doing, how much stress you're under, or whom you're angry with. It simply must be heard.

Got this CD after seeing a special on PBS.

Wow, those liberals can sing! (ha)

The songs have deep meaning and some a touch of humor too!!

I really want to buy their latest CD, IN THESE TIMES...
it looks like it could be there best ever. PPM getting better with age like a fine wine. This is a very spiritually happy and healthy trio...and OH what a life they have had.

Even Republicans may like some of their songs.

I'd be tempted to recommend this for no other reason than the performances of "It Ain't Me Babe" and "I Shall Be Released" but there is much, much more. Peter, Paul and Mary's voices blend in ways that perfectly underscore the term "synergy." They remain true to their folk roots with lesser-known pieces like "Golden Vanity" and "Listen Mr. Bilbo", never disguising their passion for a better world.

As in their live concerts, this also provides each performer an opportunity to shine in a solo effort that's particularly reflective of their individual personalities. The passion and poignancy of Mary Traver's voice has never been better than in her rendering of "No Man's Land". Noel Paul Stookey makes us laugh with "Yuppies in the Sky" and beam with "Danny's Downs". Okay, maybe Peter Yarrow gets just a little too preachy on "With Your Face to the Wind" but his "Fair Ireland" should be required listening for anyone who has wondered about "the troubles" in that wonderful land.

I wore out my audio cassette of this album, and jumped at the opportunity to own it on CD. Don't miss out.

I have been a longtime fan of Peter,Paul&Mary. This c.d. is one of my favorites. Their covers of It Ain't Me Babe and I Shall Be Released are really great. I really have two favorite songs on this c.d. and they are Danny's Downs and With Your Face to the Wind. This c.d. allows each members of the trio to shine solo and together. Thanks for the many years of heartfelt music.

This is a wonderful CD and it's too bad it is no longer in production.
