Having established herself as one of the foremost interpreters of traditional material,
Collins did the same for contemporary folk songwriters on this album, which mixed standards with pristine covers of compositions by
Dylan,
Bob Gibson,
Pete Seeger,
Ewan MacColl, and
Shel Silverstein. With Jim (Roger) McGuinn arranging and playing second guitar and banjo, this album, which included a fine version of
Seeger's "Turn! Turn! Turn!," had a clear (if overlooked) influence on the folk-rock he pioneered with
the Byrds a couple years later. ~ Richie Unterberger
