Their third recording was one of the group’s stronger outings, even if it confirms their status as folk popularizers rather than musical innovators. In particular, this record was essential to boosting the profile of Bob Dylan, including their huge hit cover of “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Continue reading “Peter, Paul And Mary – In The Wind (1963) [2014, Audio Fidelity Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

The debut album by Peter, Paul & Mary is still one of the best albums to come out of the 1960s folk music revival. It’s a beautifully harmonized collection of the best songs that the group knew, stirring in its sensibilities and its haunting melodies as it crosses between folk, children’s songs, and even gospel (“If I Had My Way”).

Seven Psalms comes into focus softly and slowly, with Paul Simon’s circular acoustic guitar figure repeating like a benediction. Religion is certainly on Simon’s mind on Seven Psalms, a collection of seven songs that the singer/songwriter hesitates to call an album; he’s so intent on having the tunes being heard as an interconnected set, he didn’t index the individual segments on either the CD or digital incarnations.

This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Here we have four stubbornly independent artistic individuals, a creative quartet of highly-trained instrumentalists, two women, two men, each with their own moving and impressive backgrounds, four unmistakable voices, four uniquely individual perspectives on root work and euphony – and yet: sometimes true magic lies in just such an unlikely but inspired mixture.
