5.0 out of 5 stars "The Kid" Makes This CD, February 12, 2007

I must differ with amazon's critic about "The Kid." I saw PP&M perform this incredible Buddy Mondlock song on a PBS fundraiser, and that's the reason I searched out this CD. I think it's an absolutely outstanding performance; I've heard another version by a highly respected singer which pales in comparison. I love the way PP&M's gorgeous soulful vocals weave in and out of the song in this very creative arrangement. There are some other enjoyable tracks, but, in my opinion, "The Kid" in itself earns the 5-star rating and is worth the price of the CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aging isn't pretty, February 1, 2009

By 

Luke, the Duke (Los Angeles, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lifelines (Audio CD)

The version of 'River of Jordan' on this album discards the original lyrics for a more politically correct version. . . what was once "we are the father, we are the son" has PC'd into "we are the father, mother daughter and son". What a disaster, adding extra syllables and a new meaning completely ruins the tempo and bastardizes the beautiful original tune. This is what happens when liberal PC sentiments muscle out innocence.
A few of the songs on this album hold up and work well with the new collaborations, but River of Jordan isn't one of them.

Peter, Paul & Mary haven't lose their touch - they are as good as they've always been. Insightful & sensitive - and showing their care for all people. If you liked them in the past, you'll like this CD as well.
