This review is from: Philadelphia Folk Festival - 40th Anniversary (Audio CD)

I love this album because it brought back memories of my attending the Festival. It's a great way to discover a lot of new (and old) people such as John Prine, Mollie O'Brien, Richard Thompson, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and so many others. I realize that space was at a premium but I'm sorry Judy Roderick (who was a wonderful blues singer and very big in Philly) and the Greenbriar boys were left out. John Prine's Hello, in There and Richard Thompson's Beeswing are wonderful. In fact, the latter version is more haunting (if it's possible) than the recorded version and the song never fails to make me cry. Thompson is brilliant.

Even if you've never attended the Festival, it is worth getting for the joyous music on it.
