Judy Mayhan's first album was very much in the style of many releases by young woman folksingers of the early '60s, with very high vocals and a reverently chaste aura on a set of wholly traditional material. In those senses it was much like the very early work of
Joan Baez and
Judy Collins, though
Mayhan differed from most such artists in that she accompanied herself on mountain dulcimer, not guitar (although Jake Ander added guitar to her dulcimer and vocals on five tracks). Like
Baez and
Collins,
Mayhan would eventually drastically widen both her vocal range and her stylistic breadth, though unlike them, she wouldn't be able to document this growth on record with regular (or indeed any more) releases in the 1960s. Though it's a very of-its-time early-'60s folk revival album in its earnest, sparse approach, it's sung and played well, the songs oriented toward the Appalachian strain of American folk music.
