Time to Move on
How to describe the smooth tenor voice of Glenn Yarbrough? Perhaps by comparing it to the mighty seas that gave the legendary folksinger a case of wanderlust--occasionally rough but always beautiful and strong. When Yarbrough leftthe Limelitersin the early 1960s for a solo outing (and the occasional sailing voyage), he knew what he was doing--hits like "Baby, the Rain Must Fall" would establish him as one of the premier love balladeers of '60s. ThoughTime to Move On, Yarbrough's intimate solo debut from 1963, lacks the pop production of his later efforts, it's a remarkable recording. Sincerity, infectious melodies, and great lyrics mark "In This Wide World," "The Honey Wind Blows," and "Stella's Got a New Dress." Previously unavailable on CD,Time to Move Onfeatures exceptional sonics and Yarbrough at the top of his form. A must-have for fans.--Jason Verlinde
