4.0 out of 5 stars Legacy: A collection of new folk music, Sep 1 2004
By Clint Potts "Of course, that's just my opinio... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legacy (Audio CD)
I first encountered Legacy in a friends dorm room in college. We were becoming huge fans of Windham Hill Records, then a very fledgling label. On your first listen, you are stunned by the diverse selections and artists. This is truly a fine sampler of "new folk" music, whatever that means. After hearing the disc a few times, I had to own it myself. And, as I grew to like some of the artists, I have since managed to collect a few of their individual works. Unfortunately, many of the artists seemed to get their one shot at fame on this disc, as assembling even one disc became impossible to find. Of particular interest are songs by John Gorka, Cliff Eberhardt, and an early work by Sara Hickman. I really enjoyed the fast and furious "Men and Women" by the destined for dustbin "Uncle Bonsai". The song is a hoot but I dare you to find even one more song they recorded anywhere. This disc made me realize that I didn't really hate folk music. I just needed a "new" spin. If you can find this one used somewhere, it is worth having in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Songs That Stick, July 12 2007
By Matthew Kern "MattKern" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legacy (Audio CD)
I listened to a "dubbed from a friend" tape of this album almost 20 years ago. No label other than "Windham Hill Sampler". I had the tape for a few years but eventually lost it.

I have been going over these songs in my head for the last 15 years or so without having heard any of them since then. I remember them so clearly it seems like I just listened to them.

I decided to finally buy it again since my tape ended halfway thru the second to the last song.

Might as well see how the album ends.

great music.

... from the time when "folk" singer songwriters were getting started.
Some of these singers and their songs have attained a certain popularity since, but the one I'm focussed on is "When You Were Mine" done by The Blue Rubies (who are still around).
They are doing a cover of the song by Prince, a beautiful, well-arranged song, and their cover is in a different genre, seemingly, but brings out the beauty and meaningfulness of the song.
Who would imagine that a duo of semiclassical musicians could do this with a song by the master of pop perhaps post disco innovation and funk arranging?
The Blue Rubies use a lute for accompaniment (after a somewhat misleading, to me, very old lute solo) to a pure, penetrating Suzanne Vega like rendition of the Prince piece by Susan Maunu. I think Prince would love this version of his song as it carries it straight into the heart and soul of the listener. The lute accompaniment by Mitzi Johnson and her harmonies are perfect in carrying out this interpretation.
I love folkie covers which bring a further dimension of truth and purity to beautiful, well written pop songs, and this is one of those.
