Product Details

Melanie's Woodstock performance in 1969 cemented her as a genuine folk phenomenon, but it was the *Gather Me* sessions that captured her at her commercial and artistic peak. These unreleased outtakes and demos pull back the curtain on how that landmark record came together, offering a rare window into her songwriting process during one of the most fertile periods in early-70s folk.

• Never before released studio outtakes and demos from the historic 1971 album Gather Me by folk legend Melanie!

• Gather Me was the album that launched Melanie's career into the stratosphere containing both the #1 Billboard chart hit "Brand New Key" as well as such quintessential Melanie tracks as "Ring The Living Bell" (also a Top 40 hit), "Someday I'll Be A Farmer" and more!

• Includes full liner notes by music journalist and Melanie's manager, Dave Thompson, all packaged in a gorgeous 6-panel digipak!
