专辑简介
经典男女档民谣专辑，美国的另一个短暂的民谣组合。
A fine but not particularly well-known folk-rock outing from 1969 that was on the Cyclone label from the husband wife duo of Monte Dunn & Karen Cruz. Cruz wrote most of the songs (with the notable exception of Tim Hardin's Yellow Cab & their cover of that song is better than the original). Dunn contributes guitar, and they both sing.
Monte Dunn was well known as a guitarist on the folk scene having plaued with Phil Ochs, Judy Collins, David Blue, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Tim Hardin, and even Cher (among others). Cruz had sung solo and with others. When they marrried they managed to produce this one record before going back to session/backing work.
The music is excellent folk-rock/country-rock with good vocal harmonies and musical accompaniment (including contributions by Eric Weisberg, Bruce Langhore & Hal Blaine). It has a nice laidback, late-60's vibe and some well written love, nature, and anti-war songs, which (perhaps unfortunately in the latter case) are not at all dated.
Monte Dunn was a noted folk and folk-rock session guitarist in the 1960s, playing on records by Ian & Sylvia, Fred Neil, David Blue, and Buffy Sainte-Marie. In the late 1960s he teamed up with singer Karen Cruz and the duo made a rare, self-titled folk-rockish album for the Cyclone label. It's a pleasant if ordinary record with some tinges of country music and fey baroque orchestration, with the pair's voices blending well in earthy and imaginative harmonies.
