Search - Glenn Yarbrough :: Baby the Rain Must Fall / It's Gonna Be Fine

TWO GREAT GLEN ALBUMS

"There's one song on this 2-CD set that's worth the price alone: the achingly beautiful "I've Been To Town". When you add the other 23 songs, all prime Glen in their own right, you've got a real bargain. Anybody who's familiar with Glen's music, knows what I'm saying. Glen has a way of expressing himself musically that brings out the deepest emotions of the human heart. Highly recommended."

Unique I Think

"I'm not an expert on this artist; I remember his work in folk music and the amazing nobody-can-do-it-better "Baby, the Rain Must Fall". But I sat transfixed by him when he appeared at the State Fair, not a false note. The crowd loved him. This is a singer who never had to produce hit singles, just any tune will do once you get into his music. And apparently he never worried about hits as such, as he would make some money and go sailing about the world for the longest time and be welcomed back whenever he decided to return. If you're not hung up on chart toppers, this is a great listenable album for those who like someone who knows how to sing and has the voice to back it up."

For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her

"My husband and I had the LP of this album 30 years ago. We loaned it to a friend, and we never got it back. Especially after seeing Yarbrough in concert, we have always regretted it, but that night, he said, "This song, I will sing as long as I can draw breath." As I'd hoped, he spoke of Phil Ochs' magnificent, "Crucifixion," a song about all martyrs. Ochs, perhaps a better poet than Bob Dylan, made my hair stand on end then, as he does now. It is heaven to have this magnificent CD coming back to me."
