To All My Friends in Far-Flung Places

To All My Friends in Far-Flung Places is a 1994 album by the American musician Dave Van Ronk.

Van Ronk spent 18 months working on the album.

[5] Christine Lavin sang on To All My Friends in Far-Flung Places.

[6] Writing for AllMusic, critic Bruce Eder praised the album and wrote: "Van Ronk does remarkably well with this material—he holds a tune less effectively than Dylan, but he also imparts a special rawness and seriousness to the songs, his voice overflowing with the sound of seemingly bitter experience... Not all of it works — his voice is sometimes way too rough even by folk-blues standards for what he's trying to do — but most of it is extremely valuable.

And his cover of 'Soon My Work Will All Be Done' is one of Van Ronk's greatest performances ever.
