5.0�toiles sur 5 LISTEN TO THIS RECORD., Sep 3 2002

Par Un client

I was in high school when I first heard this record -- 35 years ago. I was astonished with joy! I listened to the three Richard & Mimi albums over and over again, and wanted desperately to be involved with a dark-haired, dulcimer-playing long-haired hippy.

Par	cancel (SAN FRANCISCO, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I have been listening to this album since 1967, and still have not grown tired of listening to it. The melodies are intoxicating, the lyrics are brilliant, and the musicianship is first rate.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Fine '60s offering is folk music plus, Oct. 25 2000

Par	Tyler Smith (Denver, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

"Celebrations for a Grey Day" offers some interest merely because of its creators: Richard Farina penned a quintessential '60s novel, "Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" before dying young in a motorcycle accident; his wife Mimi is the sister of Joan Baez. But does the music offer interest and does it hold up after 35 years? Yes, it does.

The duo put together an interesting sound with Richard's dulcimer and drone-like vocal playing against Mimi's guitar and lovely, crystalline voice. The instrumentals achieve an Eastern flavor, particularly on "V," which gives a nod to Thomas Pynchon in Richard's notes to the album. There is poetic political protest in "Michael, Andrew, and James," a lament for the three murdered civil rights workers; sly satire of prejudice in "Tommy Makem Fantasy"; and even a mildly funky excursion, "Reno Nevada."

The only regret I have in listening to it over the years has been that Mimi wasn't given more room. Her vocals are a major addition on "Reno Nevada," and the wistful "Pack up Your Sorrows," but she doesn't get a lead vocal, which is disappointing because her voice is intoxicating -- probably the equal of her more-famous sister.

Many albums that I enjoyed during my youth have not come close to standing the test of time. This one does and is well worth revisiting or discovering for the first time.
