"Bessie Smith in Stereo" said jazz critic Leonard Feather in Playboy when Barbara Dane burst onto the scene in the late '50s. Time magazine said of her: "The voice is pure, rich...rare as a 20 karat diamond." To Ebony magazine, she seemed "startlingly blonde, especially when that powerful dusky alto voice begins to moan of trouble, two-timing men and freedom...with stubborn determination, enthusiasm and a basic love for the underdog she is" The seven-page Ebony article -their first feature story about a white woman (Nov. 1959) - was filled with photos of Dane working with Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, et al. During the 1960's Dane performed and recorded blues, folk, and jazz music in her own style on several labels - one result of which was her 1966 collaboration with the Chambers Brothers for Folkways Records titled "Barbara Dane and the Chambers Brothers" - which found this wonderful woman joining forces with a young group of African American gospel/rock/soul singers known as the Chambers Brothers (later to hit it big with their psychedelic soul song "Time Has Come Today"). This Folkways album (on CD for the first time) finds these ground-breaking legends performing soul-folk-gospel versions of songs by Dane, Chambers Brothers, Malvina Reynolds, and Richard & Mimi Farina (a great version of Farina's hit "Pack Up Your Sorrows is on here).
