Dion's first Warner Bros. album and his first album of the 1970s was a change of pace even by the standards of his mellower, folk-rockish late-'60s comeback records. Sit Down Old Friend was Dion unplugged: just him on acoustic guitar (both classical and steel string), and no other accompaniment, with all but three of the songs written or co-written by the singer. There's an intimate warmth and vulnerability here associated with demos that aren't typically issued in this original form, instead being embellished and worked over into something slicker. For whatever reason, in this case, Dion was able to slip the material through to the consumer in this unadorned format. It's a wistful and reflective set, as unplugged acoustic guitar albums tend to be. But the inherent mellowness of the format is given a harder and more emotional edge by Dion's blues leanings, and sense of a man emerging from hard times into something better. His voice has rarely been more expressive than it is on "I Don't Believe My Race Is Run" and the cover of Jacques Brel's "If We Only Have Love." It's a quality, overlooked effort of the early singer/songwriter era, though it's missing any classic or hitbound tunes that might have made it a major work.
