Review by Jason Ankeny
The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier was not released until 1968,
about three years after the project was originally completed;
while the long delay almost certainly crippled the momentum of
Callier's fledgling career, the impact on the music itself was at
most minimal -- while not the singer's best album, it's his most
timeless and inviting, adhering closely to the folk stylings
addressed by the title while largely ignoring the mystical jazz
dimensions that texture his later material. Surprisingly, none of
the album's eight songs are originals, relying instead on
traditional tunes like "900 Miles" and "Cotton Eyed Joe"; while
Callier's spiralling acoustic guitar lines and the use of two
bassists (Terbour Attenborough and John Tweedle) reflect his
admiration of John Coltrane, New Folk Sound is for the most part
stark and simple, possessed of a subtle grace that spotlights his
remarkably moving vocals to excellent effect -- it's a debut that
holds all the promise fulfilled by his classic recordings for
Cadet. [The 2003 CD adds three previously unreleased bonus tracks
recorded on the same day as the session that yielded the original
LP, including the traditional tunes "Be My Woman" and "Jack o'
Diamonds," as well as Judy Collins' adaptation of William Butler
Yeats' "The Golden Apples of the Sun."]
