Crow Johnson - S/T
Posted on July 26, 2006 by stevetounsand
I got this along w/ 99 other records for 10$ in a bulk box deal that a book store often offers here in town. Her signature drew me in, reading her little comment. She seems really cool; 'Crow' still plays and is well-known within modern folk circles. Check out the first two tunes to get a feel, "You Got Me" and "Ridin' In The Sky". Strange electric piano sound and rhythm box, great vocals…kinda of like Sly Stone meets Buffy St. Marie!

Gorgeous music, thanks for sharing this. If anyone has a copy to sell me…
i’ve been bummin’ for the past couple days (didn’t land that job at jackpot records), but that track “you got me” is really hittin’ the spot right now, one thousand thanks!
Dude, what year did this come out? This is good.
it came out in 1980. i’m glad it hits the spot…she’s still active and probably has a website. maybe she has copies left, name of the label is sassafras music.
Ridin In The Sky is a pretty song. I’m diggin’ it.
Just revisited this and echoing the consensus. Ridin in the Sky is a great tune, sublime!
She put out a CD in the early 90s that is buried in one of my seldom listened to stashes…the Buffy Ste Marie reference is pretty on the money. She ran a folk music network during the same period, acting as a catalystr for a lot of people just pre-internet. I remember getting her rag-fanszine for a while until it overwhelmed her music and she gave it up. Nice to see her name again.
