What a miserable shock!

I vividly remember checking "Jean Redpath's Ballad Book" (on the Elektra label) out of the library in 1966. One listen and I was hooked.

Forty years later I found a copy on eBay. Even though I had no longer had equipment to play it, I bought the album.

What a wonderful voice, what a wonderful style and approach she had!

What a rotten day.
