Glenn Yarbrough – Let Me Choose Life
Glenn Yarbrough’s voice always reminds me of the 1977 Rankin-Bass animated film of The Hobbit in which he was the balladeer. This flower child album of chamber pop is not so different from those songs to my ears. This collection features songs by some big names of 1960s folk pop, including Laura Nyro, Kenny Rankin, Paul Williams, Pete Seeger, Malvina Reynolds (“Little Boxes”), and this tune by Hoyt Axton.
