Re: International Folk Music Awards to honor Janis Ian
Thanks for posting this Lorne. She was one of those gems who shined bright in the darkest recesses of my digital collection. I have her first two vinyls, the first (eponymous) of which was brilliant. Admittedly, I haven't listened to it probably in the last 20 years.
When I googled her, I found that her latest album, The Light At The End Of The Line, was released January 21, 2022. In fact, I took a double-take thinking this was a printing/publishing error, that it had to be 2023, not yet released. NOT! I checked on the tracks - all brand new, brilliant, every bit Janis Ian-style. Wow!
I have every intent to play a few of these songs on my next show.
