Review

Since 1995, former Byrd-man Roger McGuinn has been posting a song each month on the Folk Den (www.mcguinn.com) to celebrate and spread the traditional repertoire that launched his musical life in the '50s. Now he revisits 18 of those songs on a collaborative, home-recorded CD, singing and picking his banjo and 12-string guitar alongside stalwart folkies like Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Jean Ritchie, Odetta, and next-generation talents Eliza Carthy and Josh White Jr. The approach is decidedly old school--warbly voiced, polite, and deferential toward their sources--and the results uneven, with high points like the ballad "Wagoner's Lad" (with Baez and Carthy) and low ones like the listless blues of "In the Evenin'" (with Seeger). These "treasures" are unlikely to win new fans for the pre-singer-songwriter age of folk music, but they will provide pleasant melodies, and maybe memories, for the already converted. --Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers
