Have just skimmed through the review, and found the following comment horrifying.

"Though Ian kept working throughout the following decades, her success record on the national scene was spotty at best."

Spotty at best? Where has the reviewer been???

Where's "At 17", "Fly Too High", "When Angels Cry", etc.?

There's a whole catalog for the reviewer to catch up on.

Welcome to the message board AMH, and thanks for the link. I found this a favourable review overall. The paragraph I liked best is:


Now, in 2006, like many of her contemporaries, Ian is back with a new record called Folk is the New Black that mixes classic folk with hootenanny hollers and gorgeous jazz stylings. But what makes this old-time folk artist’s album different from the rest is her ability to bring the music into our post-millennium era without sacrificing her own particular identity.
