Close your eyes and you could just as well be in a hazily lit
club at Bleeker & MacDougal as a sun-splashed Laurel Canyon
coffeehouse. But by the 1970s, folk music was the latter, a
West Coast kaleidoscope of the spaced-out and serpentine,
cross-pollinating a decade of music from the Byrds to Neil
Young to Linda Rondstadt's Stone Poneys. Three decades later,
this long overdue package of women in song--from California
and elsewhere--compiles 14 virtually anonymous artists. While
each artist merits a mention, here are the most deserving:
ex-gypsy and Joni Mitchell sound-alike Caroline Peyton
("Engram"), who went on to sing in Disney movies; Carla Sciaky
("And I a Fairytale Lady"), with her pin-drop vocals and
Boulder, Colorado, high school folk club; the ethereal voice
of the late Mary Perrin ("Dedication"); and a 1970 selection
from Illinois' Jennie Pearl ("Maybe in Another Year"), one of
two performers whose whereabouts are unknown.
