Here's a piece of music history that deserves serious attention from any collector focused on pivotal folk-rock debuts. Janis Ian's self-titled 1967 album on Verve Forecast introduced the world to a 15-year-old songwriter whose maturity and social consciousness were already operating on a completely different level than her contemporaries. This was the album that launched her career with "Society's Child," a brave and controversial interracial love song that many radio stations initially refused to play until Leonard Bernstein featured Ian performing it on a CBS television special. The album captures that raw, unfiltered moment when folk was evolving into something more electric and urgent, with Ian's crystalline voice and unflinching lyrics pointing toward the confessional singer-songwriter movement that would define the early 1970s.
