Rather than relying on her own songwriting, Baez instead selected work by younger folk and rock artists to perform. She included [[Dar Williams]]' "If I Wrote You", [[Richard Shindell]]'s "Reunion Hill", and [[Betty Elders]]' "Crack in the Mirror". Around the time of the album's release, Baez confessed that she no longer found herself able to write songs, and felt more comfortable reverting back to her original role, as an interpreter. The one track for which she receives credit, "Lily" (about a girlhood friend), was a poem written by Baez, to which Greenberg and Wilson added music. In addition receiving a career boost by having Baez record their songs, she took two of the young songwriters -- Shindell and Williams -- on tour with her to support this album. Initial editions of this album included a bonus CD of two songs: [[Betty Elders]]' "Long Bed from Kenya" and a duet with [[Dar Williams]] on [[Paul Simon]]'s "Dangling Conversation", both of which were recorded live at the 1997 [[Newport Folk Festival]]. ==Track listing== # No Mermaid ([[Sinead Lohan]]) # Reunion Hill ([[Richard Shindell]]) # February ([[Dar Williams]]) # Crack in the Mirror ([[Betty Elders]]) (referenced on [[list of Pedophilia and child sexual abuse songs|Pedophilia and child sexual abuse in songs]]) # If I Wrote You ([[Dar Williams]]) # Fishing ([[Richard Shindell]]) # Lily ([[Joan Baez]]/Wally Wilson/Kenny Greenberg) # Who Do You Think I Am ([[Sinead Lohan]]) # Mercy Bound ([[Mark Addison]]) # Money for Floods ([[Richard Shindell]]) [[Category:1997 albums]] [[Category:Joan Baez albums]] [[Category:Albums produced by Wally Wilson]]
