Free Music Notes for In These Times

Free Music Review: Don't Think Twice - It's All Right
Hit: 3 Stars

Mary's voice has been shot for a long time already (about 500 miles ago) and now Peter's has become so soft it's like he's blowin' in the wind; but PP&M's harmony has surprisingly brought us a decent album. The song selection is quite superior to their previous one (Such is Love) which is what makes this recording good.
Clearly the best song is the intricately arranged, "Of This World", but I can't help thinking how much better they would have done it 40 years ago. This album contains a much improved version of, "Don't Laugh At Me" that finally does some justice to that hauntingly beautiful tune. Other songs such as, "Some Walls", "Wayfaring Stranger", "The Great Storm is Over", are good typical PP&M songs that only they do so well. The opening medley of union songs ain't too bad if you can stomach the corn.
Thankfully, Mary only sings one solo.
If you enjoy PP&M buy this album.

Free Music Review: A historic trio
Hit: 3 Stars

Big PP&M fan. Have most of their recordings (on vinyl, yet!). This is representative of their later work, but is not up to the par of most of thier music. Am I glad I bought it? Yes. Is it my favorite? No! Would I recommend it? Yes, if you are a PP&M fan. On a sadder note, this will most likely be the last PP&M recording unless they issue yet unpublished material. It would be nice if there will be an anthology (both audio and video) of this historic trio.

Free Music Review: PP&M Fans Beware
Hit: 2 Stars

Those who are familar with PP&M's 1960's recordings will be in for a shock. They sound nothing like they did on those old recordings. You can comment on the choice of fine social conscience songs, the solid instrumental accompaniment, but in the end it is the sound they make vocally that counts. And it is not pleasant. Remember, they made Bob Dylan famous with their moving, beautifully sung rendition of "Blowin In The Wind". It was as much how they sung as what they sung, that drew us to PP&M. No more. It is too painful for me to listen to.

Free Music Review: mary can't hold a tune anymore
Hit: 2 Stars

I read the reviews before I bought this album and I wish I had paid more attention to them. Mary's voice is very harsh now; the only songs on this album that you can listen to are the ones where she is drowned out by Peter and Paul

Free Music Review: Some albums should never have been made
Hit: 1 Stars

I am am a 40-year fan of PP&M, but this effort is a major disappointment. The music is semi-okay, and the guys can still carry a toon, but Mary should never ever perform in public again.
