Timeless, wonderful music awaits your discovery.......2007-02-08

The Joy of Cooking's music sounds fresh and refreshing -- remarkable given that it was originally published in the early 1970s. Toni Brown is a great songwriter, producing sophisticated lyrics to accompany her music, which draws on folk, country, jazz and rock. Terri Garthwaite is a fantastic singer, with the emotional strength and capacity of great blues and gospel performers. The band itself plays the tunes in a driven manner. "Thousand Miles," "Closer to the Ground," and other songs are particularly effective, and easily could be hit singles today.

Joy of Cooking just keeps cooking.......2007-01-04

So I first had this in the very early seventies, and am really pleaed to reaquire them and realize how those jazzy ladies' music has just worn so well. They're great!

Still Cooking.......2006-06-17

When my vinyl copy of CttG finally wore out, I was really bummed to discover that Capitol Records only saw fit to release a random collection off of all three of Joy of Cooking's albums with American Originals. Finally, the producers at Acadia have preserved a really great slice of music from the early '70s. Listening to the album again after so many years, it was really a rush to hear songs left off the AO CD, such as Blues for a Friend, A Thousand Miles and Sometimes Like a River. This album of the three JOC put together I liked the best, but all of their music is classic (folk) rock. Their rereleased CDs are all going on the same shelf as my Ten Years After, John Mayall, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Hendrix and Albert King CDs among the other greats of the era. I'd highly recommend turning on the lava lamp, dabbing a splash of patchouli and giving in to the Joy.

Toni Brown, Terry Garthwaite....

Before Heart was a dream in those girls eyes, these two women were rocking it hard, but with feeling. I heard this on vinyl when I was the tender young age of 13 ( circa 1971 ) and besides thinking Toni Bronn was totaly hot, the music really hit me, with lines like "No use looking to the other side, when your living right down here."

Closer to the Ground ( title track ) Hard growly vocals, great driving bass line, edgy lyrics.

New Colorado Blues, plaintive yet hopefull with a great melody.

Closer to the ground, if fact all of "Joy of Cooking" should be in your music collection if you want to have a clue about the SF music scene in the late 60's.

Pick this plumb while you can.

if you missed Joy of Cookings 2 albums and Zepher from the same time period, you missed some of the very best music of the late 60's early 70's. These are necessary to add to your collection. I was thrilled to see these remastered and released on CD. What a treat
