I Guess That Comes from Being Poor

I Guess That Comes from Being Poor

Best known for the renditions of her fabulous songs that became big hits for other artists - Little Boxes (Pete Seeger), Morningtown Ride (The Seekers), Turnaround (Harry Belafonte), amongst others - Malvina Reynolds was the grooviest grandma to ever strut across the folk singer stage! At the ripe age of 70 (in 1970) she joined forces with members of The Byrds, The Dillards, The Sunshine Company, producer Alex Hassilev (of fabulous folkies The Limeliters) and others to cut her self-titled psyche-protest opus! With a heart of gold and an acid tongue Malvina wraps her creaking, aching voice around paeans to the Black Panther Party (Daddy's in the Jail), the approaching eco-apocalypse and humanity's de-evolution (There'll Come a Time), an imaginary army made up of bankers and diplomats (We Hate to See Them Go), LSD, DDT and other hot topics at the close of the tumultuous 1960's. Rounding out the collection are a handful of extremely rare 45 only cuts, alternate versions and six astounding previously unreleased tracks. Lovingly remastered from the original tapes, all selections make their first appearance on CD here! Deluxe packaging, 24 page full colour booklet with exclusive notes, rare photos etc.
