Free Music Review: Less Is More or Why I Love This CD
Hit: 5 Stars

The Appleseed label that's putting out some excellent folk-oriented discs has done well. Roger McGuinn embraces these folks tunes as if in a loving hug. His sharing of the stage with a host of other performers brings out the varying textures of the material and in McGuinn. Joan Baez joins for a great opener "Wagoner's Lad." The lyric made me reflect how far the woman's movement has come in the USA, "controlled by their parents until they are wives then slaves to their husbands for the rest of their lives." For me, the highlight of the disc are Roger's pairings with Pete Seeger. There's great chemistry between these two. "Dink's Song" is my favorite. Pete Seeger's alto and Roger McGuinn's tenor are such a gorgeous blend of voice with the acoustic guitar washing the melody, "If I had wings...I'd fly up the river to the one I love." Don't miss this treat! Judy Collins pipes in for a Celtic-flavored seafaring song, "Bonnie Ship the Diamond." "Cane Blues" is soft & wistful. Eliza Carthy's fluid fiddle is like a Celtic explosion on the instrumental "Reel." "Fair Nottamun Town," a sad folk ballad, does the least for me. "John the Revelator" is a happy tune. It's interesting to compare McGuinn's voice in "Dink's Song" to this track; here his voice is ragged like one who'd been up all night. The great chemistry with Seeger shines through on the pretty acoustic "Alabama Bound." My biggest smile comes on the track with Tommy Makem on a great Irish tune, "Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake!" Seeger & McGuinn get bluesy "when the fun is over & the liquor's gone dry" "In the Evenin'." Joan Baez does backing vocals and Eliza Carthy's fiddle drones on the somber ballad "Willie Moore." "The Brazos River" is like a folk military march. On "Sail Away," Odetta's voice squeaks like a guitar string. Judy Collins shines with Roger on a beautiful version of "John Riley," "What if he's found some new love?" Josh White Jr. joins for a blue soft shoe on "Trouble in Mind." Tommy Makem without the Clancy Brothers shoulders the lead on a great version of "Whiskey in the Jar." "The Virgin Mary" with Odetta is almost a Christmas song, "Glory be to the new born king." The CD concludes with a quick piece, "Pete's Song." The hidden track is interesting as the musicians discuss their parts in a rehearsal for "In the Evenin'." The song over, Pete Seeger starts talking about a tour he took of the Renaissance School in New York and one gets the feel that we are sitting in the living room sharing some time with these guys. This is an essential CD for folk music lovers!

Treasures from the Folk Den Poster

Since 1995, former Byrd-man Roger McGuinn has been posting a song each month on the Folk Den (www.mcguinn.com) to celebrate and spread the traditional repertoire that launched his musical life in the '50s. Now he revisits 18 of those songs on a collaborative, home-recorded CD, singing and picking his banjo and 12-string guitar alongside stalwart folkies like Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Jean Ritchie, Odetta, and next-generation talents Eliza Carthy and Josh White Jr. The approach is decidedly old school--warbly voiced, polite, and deferential toward their sources--and the results uneven, with high points like the ballad "Wagoner's Lad" (with Baez and Carthy) and low ones like the listless blues of "In the Evenin'" (with Seeger). These "treasures" are unlikely to win new fans for the pre-singer-songwriter age of folk music, but they will provide pleasant melodies, and maybe memories, for the already converted. --Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers
