It Can't get Any Better

"Ian and Sylvia were innovators in the "old" folk days. Their harmonies and arrangements still leave people breathless. With the addition of Amos Garrett and company to create Great Speckled Bird it just got better and better. The harmonies deepened and became more comples and Sylvia's voice soared to the heavens. Harmony? Listen to "We Sail" alone in a quiet room at decent volume and prepare to be amazed. Some albums don't deserve to be reissued.. my question is why did it take so long for this materpiece to reappear"
Great, as usual

"This album is from Ian and Sylvia's early days. There was a freshness to their music. From "Crazy Arms" to "Truckers Cafe" it has an enthusiasm that will have you hanging on every song."

"I was really glad to find this item. This album was the crucible for the folk-rock era. Ian Tyson always had the ability to select the best leading edge musicians to make up his various bands but he outdid even himself on this album. Ian & Sylvia were the "gold standard" in this era of electric folk music. The vinyl is a collector's item."
