“The goal of the John Stewart & Darwin's Army album was to record great folk songs, ranging from traditional standards to modern songs, and even a few originals. . . . A rollicking version of ‘Darlin' Corey,’ popularized by the Weavers and Pete Seeger, features Stewart on banjo. . . . ‘Santy Anno/Coal Tattoo’ is a driving medley, and Buffy Stewart's strong singing anchors the ‘Santy Anno’ portion; both songs had been performed by the Kingston Trio in the past. Heavenly vocal harmonies and slow acoustic guitar lines highlight Merle Haggard's ‘Silver Wings.’ Buffy Stewart sings a beautiful a cappella version of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’. . .” – Bret Adams, All Music Guide |
