GUEST,vinyl junkie Where are the Womenfolk? (129* d) RE: Where are the Womenfolk? 03 Oct 07


Hello, Womenfolk. It's the Vinyl Junkie again.

Three months since last I wrote an entry (July 26).   Not only did your self-titled 1964 album make the cut during my night of "purging the superfluous" from that pile of unsorted records, but I'm still listening to it here and there, as the weeks go by. I even introduced (maybe more accurately RE-introduced) the Womenfolk to my oldest brother and his wife. Both have an affinity for folk groups and folk music.

They remembered "Little Boxes" and I have to admit that it was this title that really made me listen to the album, only because I remembered others in the family singing bits and pieces of this song over the years. Amusing social commentary aside, this is not what has held my attention all this time.

In addition to the titles that others have praised here, I have to say that the raw power of "Don't You Rock 'Em Daddy-O" is tremendous. And your arrangement of "The Gypsy Rover" is the best I've heard - possibly my favorite cut on the album. The harmony and blend of your voices is so warm over the lilting guitar work.

Thanks again, for putting the excitement of discovery back into what I feared was becoming a slightly jaded listener/collector.

Andy
