Fast Folk Musical Magazine (Vol. 2, No. 9) Women in Song
Various Artists

Fast Folk Musical Magazine devotes this issue to a dozen female singer–songwriters performing in New York City. Musical themes range from passengers on the bus (“The Bus” by Julie Gold) to opposition to war (“Grandma’s Battle Cry” sung by 72-year-old Faith Petric). Christine Lavin has fun warning women of the “Biological Time Bomb,” Elaine Silver delivers an a cappella version of life on the “Road to Rock and Roll,” and Susan Vosburgh reminds everyone “What It Is.” Other noteworthy performances are Ruan MacKinnon singing “All In All” and Michal Shapiro’s “Winter Sky.” The 20–page liner notes include an article about Folkways Records founder Moses Asch.
