Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies From the Canyon, a Various Artists Compilation. Released March 13, 2006 on Numero (catalog no. Genres: Singer/Songwriter. Rated #426 in the best compilations of 2006.
Joni Mitchell may not have been the biggest-selling singer/songwriter star of the early '70s, but her influence, particularly on women performers, can't be denied. As the title of this compilation indicates, the artists on this collection of mega-rare cuts by female singer/songwriters of the era are often in a Joni Mitchell mood. Confessional and narrative lyrics, predominant folky acoustic guitars, warm rolling piano, wide and sometimes swooping vocal ranges -- all of those characteristics are here to some degree, even if only a few of the 14 tracks (especially Caroline Peyton's 'Engram,' Judy Kelly's 'Window,' and Barbara Sipple's 'Song for Life') make the inspiration inescapably blatant. Also, to be frank, all of this has far less of an edge (and musical sophistication) than Mitchell's early work, and some of it treads close to the bland side, sometimes with awkwardly earnest lyrical homilies. Still, as an anthology of pleasant woman-sung mild folk-rock from the period with a slight aura of haunting mystery, this is pretty respectable. There's little spaciness on the order of cult artists like Linda Perhacs -- Collie Ryan's reverb-swathed 'Cricket' comes about the closest -- though a few of the other tracks are a bit strange, like Shira Small's funk-jazz-inflected 'Eternal Life,' which boasts wildly optimistic cosmic lyrics. Another slight oddity is 'Wildman' by Ginny Reilly, whose vocal is something like a combination of Mitchell's phrasing and Buffy Sainte-Marie's vibrato. All of these tracks are taken from scarce private pressings save Ellen Warshaw's closing cover of the Rolling Stones' 'Sister Morphine,' which is by far the hardest-rocking cut on the CD, and one of the best.

Latest from Chicago-based Numero Group focuses on Joni Mitchell-influenced coffeehouse folk, mostly recorded during the first half of the 1970s.
Released in 1970, Joni Mitchell's third album Ladies of the Canyon was a crucial document of the gradual segue of the tradition-based folk revival into a new movement of breezy, more introspective singer-songwriters. And while Mitchell obviously doesn't bear sole responsibility for creating the archetype of the long-haired, coffeehouse folk chanteuse, there is no question that her success quickly inspired hundreds of similarly reflective young female songwriters to pick up their acoustic guitars and join in quixotic pursuit of lucrative recording careers. As a result, the following years witnessed a deluge of regionally produced and distributed folk albums-- the vast majority of which eventually found their way to family basements and Salvation Army stores, as their winsome authors returned unceremoniously to quiet obscurity.

Now, in order to better demonstrate the breadth of this movement and the astonishing reach of Mitchell's influence, the inveterate crate-diggers of the Numero Group present Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies From the Canyon. Diligently researched and compiled with the label's characteristic attention to detail, the collection gathers 14 impossibly rare tracks by female folkies from every corner of the nation, covering an era which spans roughly from 1971-76. Variously funded by parents, church groups or community organizations, these songs originally appeared on private-press albums that were issued in pressings as small as 50 copies, and each retains a certain undeniable handmade charm.
The compilation appears at a time when reissues of unjustly overlooked folk singers like Judee Sill, Vashti Bunyan, Bridget St. John, and Linda Perhacs are still fresh on the shelves. Unlike those performers, however, few artists on Ladies From the Canyon project a musical personality distinctive or eccentric enough to carry an entire album. (Nor, it should be noted, are there any truly psychedelic notes ever played or sung.) In fact, the most striking aspect of this collection is the utter uniformity of its perfomances, not only in sound but in mood and spirit. Nearly all of these vocalists sing in a rich, Joni-like alto over spare arrangements of guitar and piano. And despite their differences in geography and background, each performer achieves a nearly identical sense of dreamy, melancholic longing, sounding content to leave the wider dynamic range of rage, lust, joy, and defiance (not to mention humor) to a separate generation of female artists.
It would take a hardened heart, however, to ignore the simple beauty evident in tracks like Collie Ryan's gorgeous, haiku-like 'Cricket' or Priscilla Quinby's nautical 'With All Hands'. And, as one might expect from such a 'real people' collection, a couple of these tracks possess that indefinable, unschooled strangeness that is peculiar to outsider art. The most engaging such example is Shira Small's eliptical 'Eternal Life', with its casual declaration that 'Eternal life is the intersection of the line of time and the plane of now.' Not to be outdone, the haunting 'Maybe in Another Year,' is sung by Peoria teen Jennie Pearl with a clear-eyed innocence that recalls the best moments of the Langley Schools Music Project. Also noteworthy is 15-year-old Ellen Warshaw's surprisingly forceful and harrowing take on the Stones' 'Sister Morphine', one of the few cuts that feels out of keeping with the collection's overall earth mother vibration.
Most of the performers on Ladies From the Canyon have long since retired from the music business. One notable exception is Barbara Sipple, who has since gone on to a successful career as an opera singer, and whose 'Song of Life' is one of several here that is tinged with the mystic, soft-focused Christianity typical of the era. As further evidenced by tracks like Carla Sciaky's 'And I a Fairytale Lady', there is constant yearning that courses through nearly all of these songs, a yearning for some external force-- be it Jesus, a waylaid Prince Charming, or simply a record contract-- to come and deliver each singer from her lonesome solitude. But as Ladies From the Canyon amply illustrates, these scattered, isolated voices were actually far from alone, and maybe their inclusion here within this fascinating time capsule can provide some small echo of the communion they once sought to gain through their long-neglected music.
