CD Reviews

Decent folk-rock
Socrates | Rotterdam, The Netherlands | 08/21/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"....I'm gonna give it five stars, just because it's ridiculous it's now rated only one. This is a very decent well crafted folk-rock album."
1968 classic

"This reissue is long overdue!! I have owned the LP version of this for thirty years or so(found it in a cut out bin for less than a buck) and absolutely love it!! I have played this for friends and told everyone to buy it if they ever came across a copy. So now it is on CD so hopefully more people will hear it. Elyse Weinberg's only recording so far as I know, this could be classified in the similar style of Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Bert Jansch,etc. Elyse's voice is sort of like Dylan,kind of hoarse and rough but full of emotion. Her lyrics are very intelligent and the music is well played. Elyse plays 6 and 12 string acoustic and is backed on some tracks by a full electric band who sound something like Dylan's backing bands on Blonde on Blonde or Highway 61. Colin Walcott(an excellent jazz musician who would later form OREGON) plays sitar and tabla on some tracks. Elyse does a fine version of a Bert Jansch song "deed I do" which I don't think Jansch ever recorded. Evidently there are two bonus tracks on this CD which were not on the original LP. One apparently has Neil Young on it. I am unaware of the vintage of these two tracks. But I highly recommend this recording to anyone who loves good folk rock from the late sixties or any era."
Glad to have this reissued

"This LP fell into my hands in the 60's; a friend listened to 'Deed I Do' over and over for an hour and it saved his relationship; the album, in spite of its pessimism, is a stunner and deserves more rememberance..."
