There were numerous obscure attempts, most of them commercially and artistically unsuccessful, by folk revival veterans to move into folk-rock-pop in the last half of the 1960s. For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her is Yarbrough's. Although Yarbrough's usual idea of a contemporary singer/songwriter to cover on record was limited to Rod McKuen, here he tackles many of the giants: Simon & Garfunkel (the title cut), Buffy Sainte-Marie ("Until It's Time for You to Go"), Ian & Sylvia ("The French Girl"), Bob Dylan ("Tomorrow Is a Long Time"), Phil Ochs ("Pleasures of the Harbor" and "Crucifixion"), and, most unexpectedly, Buffalo Springfield (with what must have been one of the very few covers of Stephen Stills' "Everybody's Wrong").

Glenn Robertson Yarbrough was an American folk singer and guitarist. He was the lead singer (tenor) with the Limeliters from 1959 to 1963. He also had a prolific solo career, recording on various labels. Here's his another 1968 release for RCA Victor label. Includes Eternity; Try to Remember; December in Your Heart; The Girls in Their Summer Dresses; You Can't Ever Go Home Again; Four Seasons; Jenny's Gone and I Don't Care, and more.

The instantly recognizable tenor of legendary folksinger Glenn Yarbrough – the voice of the Limeliters and eventually Coca-Cola – launches into a three-quarter time version of "Waltzing Matilda" without the slightest bit of irony on 1957's "Come Sit by My Side". His second recording (the first arrived in 1951) was a veritable set list for what was to become the folk revival, and it remains one of the most definitive recordings of the genre.

This 1968 release considers all sides of romance, with songs by David Gates, Hoyt Axton and Glen Campbell among others.

On his prior 1967 LP, "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her", Yarbrough had tried to move into contemporary folk-rockish covers, with negligible sales and not much greater artistic success. With "Honey & Wine" there also seemed to be inclinations to update his sound, but great uncertainty as to which way his music should pull. There was just a bit of a nod to pop/rock on the album, primarily in the title cut, a cover of a relatively little-known Gerry Goffin/Carole King composition.

This 1966 album of Rod McKuen songs was among Glenn's most popular! Includes "The Word Before Goodbye", "Night Song", "Hello", "The Women", "Brownstone", "The Summertime of Days", and more.
