"...is
even better now than when they opened the historical Woodstock
Festival. Nancy Nevins has too much soul to be white. Like
Billie, Nancy sings from vast and probably painful experience
with a voice much richer now than in earlier recordings"

Dont forget
to write me at nancy@nancynevins.com
if you feel like it, and if youre new to my site, please read
on to catch up on my good, talented, long-time friend, Paul
Berenson, and how all this got started. . . .
Paul's
a good friend and he is one well-informed music afficionado. Believe
it. There's little Paul doesn't know about classical or pop music.
Just ask him (smile) Sometimes, you can call him on air at KIST
you know.
I spent time with Paul on his radio show in August for the 35th
anniversary of Woodstock. You can see some photos of me at the radio
station. (It was awfully early and I buzzed up to the station from
L.A. at 4 am. I dressed funky, since it's radio-- so-- whatever.
Don't judge my scruffy look too hard.)
Paul and I met a hundred years ago, through Chris Huston, Sweetwater's
second record producer. Thanks to the Internet we re-connected and
Paul offered to help me with a website. He loves Sweetwater and
is a serious believer in my music and my writing. Man, how I appreciate
that.
500,000
people heard them at Woodstock. No one heard from them again.
this collection, which the band itself helped compile from their
three Reprise albums... features three unreleased sides. Think a
jazzier Jefferson Airplane thats the tasty material that
awaits you here, and all of its been out of print for decades.
