Barbara Dane - When I Was A Young Girl / On My Way - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Lifelong political activist and Blues/Jazz/Folk singer Barbara Dane - namechecked by the likes of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, etc, and routinely compared with Bessie Smith - commenced her recording career in 1956. Possessor of an extraordinary voice, in 1958 Time Magazine described her InchThe voice is pure, rich and carries the dusky legato that still echoes the New Orleans of forty years ago... as rare as a 20 carat diamond.Inch This compilation features her two 1962 LPs, InchWhen I Was A Young GirlInch and InchOn My WayInch. For many years her early recordings were unavailable; this is the first time these albums have been thus paired up. Sometimes described as InchAmerica's Great Lost/Forgotten IconInch, she has only, in the 21st Century, belatedly received due acknowledgement and respect. Although now in her mid 90s, Barbara still records and performs occasionally, and is about to publish her autobiography. Album Tracks 1. When I Was a Young Girl 2. Little Maggie 3.
