Im Februar 1965 nahm Norman Petty Carolyn Hesters Konzert in der Town Hall von New York City auf. Hesters klare, schneidende Stimme, begleitet von George Tomcos Gitarre, sang mit jener für die Folk Music Bewegung jener Jahre charakteristischen Sehnsucht und Idealismus. Carolyn Hester fühlte sich bei traditionellen Songs sowie der Liedern der Singer / Songwriter jener Jahre (darunter Tom Paxton und Phil Ochs) gleichermaßen wohl. Ihr war ebenfalls nicht bange vor der eigenen, ambitionierten musikalischen Bearbeitung von Whitmans 'Captain, My Captain'. Wann immer sie singt, Hester legt stets ein Zeugnis für ihr persönliches Engagement ab. Diese CD mit vierundzwanzig Songs liefert ein herrliches Dokument eines Konzertes von einem oft übersehenen Schatz der Folkära. Titel wie '2: 10 Train', 'Captain My Captain', 'Water Is Wide', 'Outward Bound', 'Summertime' und 'Sidewalk City'.
In February 1965, Norman Petty recorded Carolyn Hester in concert at New York City's Town Hall. Hester's clear, keening voice, accompanied by George Tomsco's guitar, poured forth with the combination of wistfulness and idealism that characterized the era's folk movement. Equally at home with traditional songs and the work of the era's singer-songwriters (among them Tom Paxton and Phil Ochs), and unafraid of something as ambitious as her own musical setting of Whitman's 'Captain, My Captain', Hester conveys an intimate involvement with everything she sings. This 24-song CD is a wonderful document of a special concert by an overlooked treasure of the folk era. Titles include '2: 10 Train', 'Captain My Captain', 'Water Is Wide', 'Outward Bound', 'Summertime', and 'Sidewalk City'.
