makes me want to drink for some reason.

This is from one of the two most under-rated albums of the late sixties. Her voice is like dusky rolling thunder.

Have you noticed how she brings out the poet in most, the peasant in others?

[CoyoteBuddy]

Judy Henske is smoke and whiskey, pain and sorrow turned to joy that still hurts. Damn, I think I'm in love, and at my age!

@kpatukas Aldebaran = eye of the constellation Taurus the Bull, red supergiant. Also mentioned in the Stones' song, 2,000 Light Years From Home.

Who the heck is Alderbarren?

I always have a strange feeling that I'm listening to a Siouxsie Sioux song.

And I ADORE Judy Henske's voice!!! High Flyin' Bird hooked me, but I love the Aldebran album!

Great song, powerful voice of the great Judy Henske.

<----- takes a moment of nostalgia, this song has an eerie yet subtle bliss to it... <3 it!!

[50srefugee]

I wept when I heard this. Beautiful.

Bells, tolling, and rapture, in a verse about divers:

""Her voice in the drowned bells was tolling

In rapture we died"

That's poetry, folks. Double meanings can be far more than mere puns.

[Sundaysmilk]

“the Queen of the Beatniks”.
