Malvina Reynolds (Remastered with extra tracks)
The Groovey Grandma of Folk! With The Byrds and The Dillards!!!
"...the most unique songwriter in the United States, perhaps the world. She
refuses to give up on the human race." -- Pete Seeger
Best known for the renditions of her fabulous songs that became big hits for
other artists - Little Boxes (Pete Seeger), Morningtown Ride (The Seekers),
Turnaround (Harry Belafonte), amongst others - Malvina Reynolds was the
grooviest grandma to ever strut across the folk singer stage! At the ripe
age of 70 (in 1970) she joined forces with members of The Byrds, The
Dillards, The Sunshine Company, producer Alex Hassilev (of fabulous folkies
The Limeliters) and others to cut her self-titled psyche-protest opus! With
a heart of gold and an acid tongue Malvina wraps her creaking, aching voice
around paeans to the Black Panther Party (Daddy's In The Jail), the
approaching eco-apocalypse and humanity's de-evolution (There'll Come A
Time), an imaginary army made up of bankers and diplomats (We Hate To See
Them Go), LSD, DDT and other hot topics at the close of the tumultuous
1960s.
