5 out of 5 stars A Top Folk Classic.......2007-01-21

RICHARD FARIÑA was another great poet, but whose life ended early as the result of a motorcycle accident. Nonetheless he and his partner/wife Mimi Baez (sister of Joan Baez) created one of the great albums of the "beat" and new folk movement, REFLECTIONS IN A CRYSTAL WIND. Songs on it such as Children of Darkness and Raven Girl metaphorically describe the personal torment and social destruction are relevant as much today as during the Vietnam Era when first released. Richard and Mimi's duets are flawlessly in synch. First-rate musicians accompany on most songs. The youth today might actually relate to the sensitive musical and political substance on this CD from our history.

3 out of 5 stars Bold Marauder Fan.......2005-03-19

"Bold Marauder" is truly Richard Farina's songwriting masterpiece. It is a powerful and haunting piece of music. Having said that, his performance of the song, does not do it justice. To experience the full impact of this song you will need to listen to John Kay on his "Forgotten Songs & Unsung Heroes" cd. We were able to find it on the Steppenwolf website. Wow!!!

5 out of 5 stars Dick and Mimi Farina's finest.......1998-06-13

The Farinas' mix of unusual instrumentations and Dick's gift for words made them a formidable duo in the mid-sixties, his writing alternating and mixing the political, satirical, and poetic . Mimi, sister of Joan Baez, had ,for my money, a better and more versitile voice than her sister. This album showcased both's songwriting and singing talents, and backed by most of Dylan's off-duty session players, the music sounds as fresh today as then. While none of their albums are less (two recorded during his lifetime, one after), this one is a little more.
