5.0 out of 5 stars great then, even greater now, August 18, 2002
By S. McAulay (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this "anthology" of mostly traditional folk music is a marvelous trip back for those of us who sang along in the coffee houses and open air festivals of the 60's and early 70's. it ought to be just as enjoyable for listeners today -- they're wonderful songs, and barbara's a wonderful talent. happily, i can tell the earlier reviewer who wondered "what's become of barbara?" that's she's singing up a storm again, in better voice than ever, just back from a successful european tour and with a new cd just out: "what are you gonna do when there ain't no jazz?" ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible blueys take on traditional folk, October 31, 2001
Just discovered Barbara Dane through Intnernet Radio, Live365, and what a discovery! She has a smokey bluesy voice that defies discription. Her unique interpretation gives these traditional folk songs -- that you've no doubt heard a million times -- a new and timeless meaning.

I wish she had ten albums in circulation, so I could buy them all and put them in my CD changer in endless rotation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Barbara Dane on Don Ewell CD, March 28, 2005
Those Barbara Dane fans looking for more by her should look up a CD titled "Denver Concert" under Don Ewell. Ewell is a great pianist and this concert is just the two of them together. Dane sings on about half of the songs, with the others being piano solos by Ewell. This was my first exposure to her, being a Ewell fan, and I was blown away by her voice. She's good on the Folk Songs CD, but I think her voice is better on the Denver Concert CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a great discovery.
you could look at the cover of this album, see a white woman with blonde hair and an acoustic guitar, and think, "from 1959, huh? this has a high probablity of being hokey. Read more
