This review is from: Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) (Audio CD)

Melanie/ Candles In The Rain (Buddah Collector's Classics CD): Woodstock had a profound influence on Melanie (she performed there, though she is shamefully excluded from the current editions of the film). This album, her first since the Woodstock Festival, contains her hit "Lay Down (Candles in the rain)" which she wrote in response to that experience. The rest of the songs vary from the serious to the comic, along with some fine interpretations of other's songs, and all are very good. This Buddah issued CD has two fine bonus cuts.

One note on "Lay Down": This album has the short (under four minute) version of the song (just as it was originally released). A few years later, a hits album released the longer (seven-minute) version of the song. The longer version of the song is not part of this album. The best place to get the long version of "Lay Down" is from the CD "Beautiful People: The Greatest Hits of Melanie".

I love this album so I give it five stars
