Richard & Mimi Farina -《Memories》Remastered[MP3!]

专辑介绍：

Richard George Fariña,60年代一位反传统文化的作家,民谣歌手,在他和Mimi Baez Fariña---也就是Joan Baez的妹妹结婚以后,两人组成了一个民谣组合,出过数张民谣专辑,可惜在Mimi的21岁生日那天,Richard不幸死于车祸,之后Mimi仍然从事音乐,并在1974年组成了一个音乐公益组织Bread and Roses

Richard Fariña was a noted counterculture author and folksinger in the early '60s. Married for a time to folksinger Carolyn Hester, he was an early intimate of Bob Dylan, and in fact recorded a collectable album with Dylan (playing under the pseudonym Blind Boy Grunt) and Ric Von Schmidt in 1963. After marrying Joan Baez's sister, Mimi, he formed a folk-rock duo who released two acclaimed albums in the mid-'60s. Unlike folk-rock figureheads like the Byrds, the Fariñas were far more firmly rooted in folk than rock.

Their recordings effectively flavored their material (mostly written by Fariña) with jangling electric guitars and a rhythm section, ably assisted by such session players as guitarist Bruce Langhorne (who also played on Dylan's first electric recordings), bassist Felix Pappalardi, and harmonica player John Hammond. The Fariñas themselves also played guitar, autoharp, and dulcimer. Least successful with blues, they recorded some effective Appalachian-flavored material, and several excellent bona fide mid-tempo folk-rockers and ballads. Their best songs effectively balanced world-wise, sardonic observations with good-natured, melodic optimism.

The Fariñas' promising career ended prematurely with the death of Richard Fariña in a motorcycle accident on his birthday in 1966. His novel of the same year, Been Down So Long It Looks Like up to Me, became a cult favorite. Since Richard Fariña's death, Mimi Fariña has sporadically recorded and performed as a solo act.
