Part 2: Janis Ian to Jimi Hendrix (1966-1970)

Music truly is the universal language. The best songs of protest are passed around, from movement-to-movement, era-to-era; its singers gaining multilingual fluency along the way.

Janis Ian: The Essential Janis Ian

Unfortunately, Ian -- then only 16 -- never got to Woodstock. But time-travel through the turbulence and tranquility of that era can be realized through many of these tracks.

Janis Ian: The Best of Janis Ian

It makes for a surprisingly meaty chunk of pop-folk that has aged quite gracefully.

Janis Ian: Folk Is the New Black

If you like your folk music disguised as a cynically unimaginative, woefully uninteresting attempt at securing radio airplay, then this is the album for you.
