Say, did we ever wind up saving the whale?

We Say...
Had this concert taken place in the mid-to-late '60s it might have been hailed as a triumphant show of folk power in the ascendancy, with Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Maria Muldaur, Jessie Colin Young, Arlo Guthrie, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Richie Havens leading the way. But since it actually took place in 1979, on the eve of the Ronald Reagan era, it's more like a sad parade of nostalgia acts, on the order of a PBS special, espousing their boutique liberal causes to an audience of the disappeared. Divorced from its political context, however, it's a hell of a concert, from Pete Seeger's "Sailing Down My Golden River," through Richie Havens' ecological lament, "What About Me," all the way to the tasty "Beginning Tomorrow," by Toni Brown and Terri Garthwaite, representing a long-awaited Joy of Cooking reunion. And Jackson Browne's "For Everyman" has never sounded more chilling. Say, did we ever wind up saving the whale?

They Say...
This two-record set chronicles the October 1977 benefit concert for Mimi Farina's Bread & Roses organization, which brings music into prisons and hospitals. A broad range of folk-related artists, including Joan Baez, Jackson Browne, Pete Seeger, and Arlo Guthrie, among many others, turns this into a brilliant songwriting showcase.
