Various Artists: Four Decades of Folk Rock

..one should not be surprised that Time Life has turned the musical history of folk rock into a greatest hits type package that doesn't reveal much about folk or rock, or the times from which the music emerged. While Time Life can put together enjoyable compilations of doo wop ditties and teen idol tunes because these compositions are meant to be pleasantly distracting and romantic, folk rock is by definition more concerned with topical events. This musical genre is the most self-consciously bound to the issues of the eras from which the songs come from. There's little of that here in this collection.
