What we have here is an exercise in nostalgia. Anne Price discovered some tapes of her performances at folk gatherings at Hunter College in 1965 and '66, when she was a student there. Obviously, they constitute a piece of her development as an artist, but for us, the listening audience, they constitute a trip back in time, back to every night you ever spent in a coffee house, bar or house concert, listening to an earnest, not ready for prime time, guitar-playing soprano run through the standard folk repertoire.

It was a time when singers didn't have to be singer-songwriters, when they built their sets out of traditional tunes, a touch of bluegrass and songs composed by the folk giants of the day, such as Bob Dylan and, especially, Tom Paxton. A look at Price's set list tells you where she was at the time: "Last Thing on my Mind," "Bottle of Wine," "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound," "Daddy, You Been on My Mind," "Mister Tambourine Man," "Wayfaring Stranger" -- they're all here, and they all sound exactly like you think they will: earnest, serious, with just a girl and her guitar, playing often in the same key, with only occasional backup from a second guitar and a harmony vocal that is just as rough and unpolished as the lead.

It's interesting as a nostalgia piece, but unless you're either a great fan of the early '60s folk songbook or Anne Price, you probably won't play it more than once.
