Despite the militant words, the mood of the crowd was almost uniformly cheerful. Eugene McCarthy had spoken at the assembly point, telling the marchers that their mission was "to light and lift the moral burdens which rest upon every American." Ahead, at the monument, were other heroes, including Rock and Folk Performers Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and some performers from Hair. There, it appeared that Police Chief Jerry Wilson's crowd estimate of 250,000 might be low. A solid, bundled carpet of humanity covered the cold, hard ground. Even at Wilson's figure, it was the biggest turnout...
Their second album, Through The Morning, Through The Night has just been released. Again, there is a mixture of rock and C and W, but the proportions are quite different. They have about twice as many sidemen on this album, so that the sound itself is much more complex. And with the addition of several "pickers," the emphasis has shifted further away from rock...

Johnny Cash and Dylan, Glen Campbell and Roger Miller have shown that there is a market even on rock radio stations for C and W songs.

"So Sad," and Everly Brothers tune which was soggily sentimental in the original, becomes much more alive with a rock background. Lennon and McCartney's "Don't Let Me Down" also comes off with considerably more personality than the original, with some very effective slide guitar and piano work...
