The Best of Buffy Sainte-Marie
Artist: Buffy Sainte-Marie

Sainte-Marie pursued a variety of musical styles, from folk to country to experimental rock, and all are represented on this wide-ranging double-record compilation. It doesn't all work, but there are some terrific songs, among them the Native American lament "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying," and the romantic "Until It's Time for You... Read More

Complete Phoenix Concerts
Artist: John Stewart

A great collection of live music covering Stewart's first five albums. ~ Chip Renner, All Music Guide Read More

Cannons in the Rain/Wingless Angels - BEAR FAMILY
Artist: John Stewart

In this two-fer (Cannons in the Rain/Wingless Angels) the Wingless Angels release is the stronger collection of music, featuring Robert "Waddy" Wachtel on guitar and a guest appearance by John Denver. Cannons ... is a nice collection of ballads and folk-rock. ~ Chip Renner, All Music Guide Read More

Cannons in the Rain
Artist: John Stewart

After recording a pair of records each for Capitol and Warner Bros., John Stewart moved over to RCA, where he remained a bit longer. Issued in 1973, Cannons was released just about the time the outlaw movement was cracking it in Austin with Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Kris...

Woodsmoke and Oranges
Artist: Paul Siebel

Jac Holzman's (of Elektra Records) assessment of Paul Siebel proved right: Siebel really didn't have the ambition necessary to make it in show business. That, however, didn't mean he couldn't make a great album, so Elektra matched the songsmith with producer Peter K. Siegel and turned them loose in the studio. With a shoestring budget, the two...

Thunderfoot
Artist: Hobo Jim

Debut album. Hard to find, easy to listen to. ~ Chip Renner, All Music Guide Read More

The Essential Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Artist: Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Elliott was the complete folksinger of the 60s, singing and yodeling traditional material derived from folk, country, and blues sources and (especially) carrying on the tradition of Woody Guthrie. This two-pocket set, some of which is taken from a 1965 concert, provides a representative sampling of his repertoire and style. ~ William Ruhlmann,... Read More

The First 10 Years
Artist: Joan Baez

The First 10 Years is an excellent overview of Joan Baez's first decade of recording, balancing her work as an interpreter of both traditional and contemporary folk songs. There may be a few fan favorites missing, but all the essentials are here, making it an excellent introduction for the novice. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read More

One Day at a Time
Artist: Joan Baez

One of the oft-overlooked aspects of Joan Baez's career in the 1960s is that after the first four albums, she never did the same thing twice; what's more, with the possible exception of the Baptism album, she succeeded at least 90 percent of the time in practically everything new that she tried during that decade. One Day at a Time is much... Read More

Airdream Believer
Artist: John Stewart

Airdream Believer started out as a career retrospective and reconsideration by John Stewart, devoted to his own songs plus a few he really dug (like Johnny Cash's "Get Rhythm" and Billy Edd Wheeler's "The Reverend Mr. Black"), before it turned into something more. The music dates back, in some cases, to his days with the Kingston Trio, performed... Read More
