Reflections in a Crystal Wind is the luminous final studio collaboration of Richard & Mimi Fariña. It layers eastern-influenced folk with sharp lyrical wit, haunting harmonies, and innovative instrumentals like the dulcimer-led Bold Marauder and the acoustic Raven Girl. The album also includes biting political commentary in House Un-American Blues Activity Dream, and dreamlike numbers like Mainline Prosperity Blues — all reflecting the duo’s literary flair and musical vision.
Tragically, Richard Fariña died in a motorcycle accident just months later, which cemented the album’s status as a vulnerable masterpiece of its era. Though overlooked at the time, it has since gained cult status among folk and psychedelic music aficionados.
