Celebrations for a Grey Day

Celebrations for a Grey Day was released by Vanguard in April 1965. It includes "Pack Up Your Sorrows" (track two, 2:56), "Reno Nevada", with Bruce Langhorne on electric guitar, "The Falcon", an anti-war song built on a cuckoo folk song, "Another Country", and "V.", an instrumental dedicated to Pynchon and Benny Profane. The New York Times critic Robert Shelton named it among the ten best folk records of 1965, and Toppermost hears Richard's Dylan-influenced delivery set against Mimi's sweet voice, with Appalachian, Spanish and Eastern melodic influences. We could not find a producer, studio, recording dates or personnel beyond Langhorne; Vanguard's Maynard Solomon is a likely producer but this is unverified.
