Music reviews of Dear Companion
Music Review: A Clear Bell
Rating: 5 Stars
Meg Baird gives us an intimate, modern presentation of folk music, revealing why traditional song still speaks to us. She extends the concept and reach of classic ballads like Barbary Ellen and Willie O'Winsbury into the 21st century with covers of under-recognized 60s and 70s ballads such as The Waltze of the Tennis Players (Alan Fraser) and All I Ever Wanted (New Riders of the the Purple Sage). The arc is made complete with two of Baird's own contemporary compositions. Baird seems to whisper the tunes on Dear Companion directly in the listener's ear, pulling human experience out of the arcane language of classic ballads and the forgotten recent past to connect it to our lived experience, breathing stories into our hearts.

Description of Dear Companion
Meg Baird is the female vocalist in Espers and many folk's (get it?) favourite part of Espers. Titled "Dear Companion" it is a barren, beauteous solo debut. Released by Drag City in the US and Wichita in Europe the album takes you back to a time when the Incredible String Band ruled the world...well maybe Northern California...and Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead and Neil Young were like gods!!!! Dear Companion is a mixture of original and obscure covers and an a cappella and will certainly flip out Espers fans. It may be a perfect companion to Esper's II but that would be selling the album short. Dear Companion is a musical companion that will show you a bit of the traditional sandstone that folk is built upon and the simultaneous empathy and entertainment it can provide.Alternative Rock CDs
