The Stone Poneys: Evergreen Vol.2 (1967)


Mournful and somewhat too serious pop folk of 1960s - hard not to think of Peter,Paul and Mary who at least offered some sparks and humor in their music.

Very young Ronstadt is front and centre,thought her voice is pretty,she sounds as she just returned from a funeral,so it's all a bit pretentious (chamber orchestra,harpsichord,string and all) and only "Different drum" lives up things a bit.

Occasional nice harmonies but we heard it all before with "Peter,Paul and Mary" and "Mamas and Papas" so not very original.
