This live album is very much a relic of its age: reverently interpreted
folk songs with a high, clear voice, conscientiously chosen to represent
numerous regions and styles. So you get a French song, Australian Christmas
carols (no joke that), anti-nuclear protest ("Two Carols for a Nuclear
Age"), an "Irish Exile Song," and more. Certainly it's
honorably intentioned and listenable, but it's not that inspiring. The
notable exception is Dobson's self-penned "Morning Dew," her
moving and melodic song about the damage of nuclear holocaust, which makes
its first appearance on record here.
