专辑介绍

by Bruce Eder

This double album opens with a then-new Bob Dylan song, &The Times They Are A' Changin',& and closes with the best-known song ever written by Pete Seeger and Lee Hayes, &If I Had a Hammer.& That seems to sum up Peter, Paul & Mary, but In Concert offers a lot more than that. The surprises include vignettes in blues and gospel, and, most notably, the group's humorous digressions. Peter, Paul & Mary spared few opportunities for a good laugh on stage, beginning with the introduction to &A' Soalin',& which shows off a lightheartedness that was an essential part of who they were, even as it leads into an exquisitely sung round-like piece that should have found its way into the repertory of Steeleye Span. &Blue& gives the trio a chance to play around with rock & roll, from doo wop to British Invasion, through the song &Old Blue& (satirizing folk music purists at the same time), and Paul Stookey adds his own sound effect embellishments to Woody Guthrie's &Car-Car.& The solo spots are also worthwhile, particularly Peter Yarrow's introspective version of &Le Deserteur,& followed by his dazzling, rousing sing-along on &Oh, Rock My Soul&; and Mary Travers' rendition of &Single Girl,& a low-key proto-feminist song. The group's rendition of &It's Raining& achieves an exquisite mix of gossamer textured harmonizing and thematic innocence, and their rendition of the Reverend Gary Davis' &If I Had My Way& is a bracing re-interpretation for three interwoven voices. Finally, the version of &If I Had a Hammer& that closes this album is superior to their hit single of the same song. The album was remixed digitally from the three-track master by Peter Yarrow for the CD release, which results in very vivid textures and very fine detail.
