Barbara Manning - One Perfect Green Blanket

One Perfect Green Blanket represents an ideal introduction to the work of Barbara Manning, long one of the Bay Area's finest singer/songwriters. The set includes eight tracks, three of which were previously released on compilations and flexi-discs ("Smoking Her Wings," "Don't Rewind," and "Someone Wants You Dead"), plus an additional ten from Lately I Keep Scissors (1988).
