She did it again - wow this gal is good! An even better follow-up, with songs celebrating the gift of life (in response to the then-recent Supreme Court decision on abortion). Now she’s reminding me a little of Marj Snyder. A simple and pure folk sound with acoustic guitars, electric bass, cello, bells and drums. I even dig the two live songs with the eight kids known as the Lollipop Express Chorus (‘Hold My Hand’ and ‘Joy In My Heart’). Mostly original songs, plus a cover of ‘He Ain’t Heavy’. The outstanding track would have to be ‘Song Of The Unborn’ - an eerie lamentation expressing longing for life from the perspective of an unborn child, sung, hummed and hauntingly murmured by Barbara while backed by minor-key dulcimer and the sound of a heartbeat. Also some beautiful delicate acoustic ballads, specifically ‘Life Is Like A Carousel’, ‘Echoes’ and ‘Song For Life’. The latter song was selected for Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies From The Canyon, a 2006 compilation CD of obscure female folksinger private press recordings. (Ken Scott - Archivist)

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FEMALE ARTISTS OF THE EARLY 70'S AND I LOVE THIS ALBUM... LUCKILY I STUMBLED UPON A SECOND COPY THE OTHER DAY AT A LITTLE THRIFT STORE IN A SMALL TOWN IN RURAL NORTH DAKOTA! THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I'M SELLING THIS COPY! I'M SELLING A COUPLE OTHER RARE XIAN FOLK/PSYCH ALBUMS THAT I'VE RECENTLY BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO DOUBLE UP ON. SO CHECK THOSE OUT TOO!
