Our Take

Judy Henske, the wild child of folk music, is back with a reissue of her long-lost gems, "The Elektra Albums." This collection is a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from the bluesy depths of "Blues Chase up a Rabbit" to the whimsical heights of "High Flying Bird." Henske's vocals are a force of nature, a mix of Janis Joplin grit and Judy Garland charm.

The production on these tracks is raw and unpolished, giving them a gritty authenticity that is hard to find in today's overproduced music scene. The songwriting is equally captivating, with Henske's lyrics delving into themes of love, loss, and rebellion with a wit and wisdom beyond her years.

Standout tracks include the haunting "Till the Real Thing Comes Along" and the raucous "Snowblind." Henske's fearless attitude shines through on every song, making this album a must-listen for fans of folk, blues, or just good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll.

Overall, "The Elektra Albums" is a testament to Henske's talent and legacy in the music industry. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that will leave you wanting more. So sit back, turn up the volume, and let Judy Henske take you on a journey through the highs and lows of her incredible career. You won't be disappointed.
