A farewell studio album from folk singer-songwriter Janis Ian, best known for her 60s hit Society's Child and her 70s mega-hit At Seventeen.
Despite her age, Ian's vocals and lyrics sound almost youthful and timeless. It's a fitting farewell.
Condensed to a 7" Single:
A-Side: Resist
B-Side: I'm Still Standing
