Gift of Song

Gift of Song is the second studio album released in 1970 by Australian recording artist Judith Durham.

[1][2] The album produced the singles, "The Light Is Dark Enough"/"Wanderlove" which was released in January 1970[3] and "Take Care of My Brother".

Richie Unterberger from AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 saying "This seems to be A&M's (unsuccessful) attempt to break ex-Seeker Judith Durham into the American pop market.

Durham and her handlers seem to be aiming for a Judy Collins-like Baroque-folk on many cuts, and (in other parallel with Collins) some theatrical art song-informed songs.

For all that, this isn't a bad record, particularly when it does get into its most melancholy classical-Baroque arrangements on "Wanderlove," "There's a Baby," and similar numbers.
