Reflections in a Crystal Wind
Richard & Mimi farina

 

A Top Folk Classic, January 20, 2007

 

 

RICHARD FARIŅA was another great poet, but whose life ended early as the result of a motorcycle accident. Nonetheless he and his partner/wife Mimi Baez (sister of Joan Baez) created one of the great albums of the "beat" and new folk movement, REFLECTIONS IN A CRYSTAL WIND. Songs on it such as Children of Darkness and Raven Girl metaphorically describe the personal torment and social destruction are relevant as much today as during the Vietnam Era when first released. Richard and Mimi's duets are flawlessly in synch. First-rate musicians accompany on most songs. The youth today might actually relate to the sensitive musical and political substance on this CD from our history.
