Great news for long-time fans: finally in 1999, this folk duo's best work is released on CD. Culled from 3 classic albums, Celebrations From a Grey Day (1965), Reflections in a Crystal Wind (1965) and Memories (1968), the set also features a previously unreleased version of Tuileries. Mimi is the younger sister of Joan Baez; Richard, songwriter (who hung out with Bob Dylan) and author of the cult classic 'Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me,' was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way to a publication party for his novel in 1966 (he was 30, she was 25). With their crystalline guitar, autoharp and dulcimer accompaniment, this album features all their best songs performed with their perfect harmonic vocal blend: Swallow Song, Raven Girl, Bold Marauder, Children of Darkness, House Un-American Blues Activity Dream, Hard-Loving Loser, The Falcon, title track, 22 in all... full of irony, humor, intense and haunting imagery, passionate political thought, and pathos.
