John Jacob Niles is a crazy old geezer with a high falsetto voice who claims to have written many well-known folk songs. Yeah, right! But he has a well controlled vibrato, and he has also unearthed some Christmas carols from the English songbook we just never hear at Noel-time. Did he really write "Go 'Way From My Window"? I
thought it was a tune from American Civil War days, but he does a fine job with it.

I got involved with JJ Niles by watching Scorseses Movie about Bob Dylan.
Dylan himself got influenced by Niles and his aproach to folk music.So I
bought this Disc without hesitation.First of all it is music for listeners which haven't lost their abiltiy for music so deep and rich,as it can be.Niles's voice is like this of an angel.But be warned there is no music to dance or snap or listen while driving on the highway.Take your time and get moved forever.Highly Recommended.

I am so happy to see this reissued. I had a two record collection by Niles on vinyl but lost it over the years. Now so great to hear him sing again. I'm hoping someone will release his ballads in one set so I can once again enjoy his rendition of these great songs. The reviewer who described his voice as "fallen angel" was oh, so right.

Rare American folk connoisseurs rejoice! Finally re-issued on CD are the long awaited Tradition label recordings of John Jacob Niles. If you saw the recent Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese, you won't forget the clip of Niles singing Go Away From My Window. This is a CD of Carols and Love Songs recorded in 1957 (Rev-Ola will be re-issuing My Life in the Public Domain, ballads culled from older 78 rpm recordings later this month, which we'll list when we get it).
Niles, old beyond his years, ... Read More
