| 1. 's debut is a very average 1960s folk revival relic, released in fact just after the acoustic folk revival had peaked. Had it come out just one year later it would have seemed positively quaint. Felix's voice is competent, and not terribly strong and expressive, yet not embarrassingly weak or bland either. Four Woody Guthrie songs and two early Bob Dylan compositions comprise almost half her set here, filled out by "Hey Nelly Nelly " , as well as some traditional tunes. Superior recording quality and the presence of a standup bass accompanying Felix's voice and guitar makes this sound better than many a similar routine acoustic 1963-1964 folk album. Felix herself is distinguished from competitors like Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Carolyn Hester by her deeper voice. Yet as a whole the album is unremarkable and marks Felix as a performer most suited for supporting roles on folk bills, her later success as a British television host notwithstanding |
