Officer Graham Baynes, who pulled them over, was obviously a toga-party fan. "The car violated New Hampshire law," says Baynes. "I told them the modifications they needed to make." Such is the state of student revolt these days, the pranksters popped out of the sunroof and meekly attached red bandannas to the vehicle's fins...

...with nine bonus tracks, is an immortal testament to the power of absolute simplicity--and absolute conviction. Anderson needed no candy-coated angelic choirs or flossy orchestral arrangements to fill such noble songs of sorrow and hope as Deep River and Crucifixion with throbbing life. All it took was one contralto voice, deep-toned and devastatingly straightforward, accompanied in no-nonsense fashion by pianist Franz Rupp. Spirituals is the real right thing...
