Comment:
Having the blues is one thing: feeling so blue that you’re stricken with the (melan)-collywobbles is quite another. Here, the poets of misery really excel themselves, whether it’s Tim Hardin (who never saw his 40th year) on “How Can We Hang On to a Dream”, or Richard Hawley, whose rich, lived-in baritone can do little to lighten the fact that “The Sun Refused to Shine”. Still, there’s always Skeeter Davis, who brought a naive charm to “The End of the World” in 1962, sounding much younger than her 30 years, and Emmylou Harris, whose gorgeously clear vocal on “Someone Like You” is so pretty it almost makes a mockery of melancholy.
