The 6th Of January (Yasgur's Farm) - Single

January 6 on repeat forever change the record just like Covid these people’s brains are shot

Lawrence’s lyrics + Amy’s delivery + the folksy production = perfection. The song asks us to reflect and doesn’t give answers. How did we get here? Can we find a path to civility again?

One thing that has not changed is the genuine heart for others that Amy always shows. Excellent song that has much deeper meaning than is apparent on the first listen.

Sandy (Jenny Gills MIL) wrote this thought provoking track. Wonderfully produced

Idk what the idiot below is rambling about, but I’m pretty sure it’s conservative Christians who are advocating for violent insurrections and family separation and then calling it love somehow…

Love the music and lyrics!

Amy Grant’s latest single, “The 6th of January (Yasgur’s Farm),” released on January 6, 2026, is a poignant return to form for the iconic singer-songwriter who’s been captivating hearts since her groundbreaking 1985 album Unguarded. As a longtime fan, I’ve always admired Grant for her authenticity—a true deliverer of good, pouring her heart into every note and lyric with unwavering sincerity. This new track feels like a natural evolution of that spirit, blending nostalgic folk-pop vibes with a timely message of unity and hope in a divided world. 0 “LARGE” Musically, the song channels the breezy, introspective style of 1970s Laurel Canyon folk, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell (one of Grant’s own influences), with mandolin strums, subtle percussion, and her warm, inviting vocals taking center stage. 9 Produced by Mac McAnally, it builds from a simple, almost whimsical opening into a fuller arrangement that evokes a sense of wandering and wonder. 10 Lyrically, penned by Sandra Emory Lawrence, it weaves references to Woodstock’s Yasgur’s Farm, John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” asking if we’ve lost our way amid modern unrest—subtly nodding to events like January 6, 2021, without being overt or polemical. 8 Lines like “Hey mister where’s the road to Yasgur’s farm / He stares at me with pity and alarm / Says that crowd left here long ago” capture a longing for the “wide-eyed hope” of the 1960s, while urging us to sit with uncertainty and choose empathy over division. 9 What strikes me most is how Grant transforms potential heaviness into something uplifting and reflective. It’s not about quick fixes but recognizing our shared humanity and the power of small, personal choices to foster healing. 10 Coming five years after her heart surgery and amid her ongoing creative resurgence, this single previews an upcoming album of all-original material—her first in over a decade—and it brims with the genuine, from-the-heart essence that’s made her my absolute favorite person in the world. 9 If you’re a fan of Grant’s earlier work like Unguarded, this will feel like a warm embrace from an old friend. It’s contemplative yet accessible, perfect for these times. Highly recommended—stream it now and let it remind you that hope is always within reach.

This legend has done it again…gifted us with a beautifully contemplative song operating on multiple levels simultaneously. Hope is the theme, unity is the prayer. Cleverly nuanced from lyrics to production. Evolving artistry, indeed. Thank you, Amy—a lifelong fan.

Great somg about where we came from to where we are now.

This song is truly vintage Amy Grant and the message, while reflective of a time gone by is also so very relevant to our current life of discord, divide and uncertainty. Any Amy Grant fan, casual or dedicated, should add this to their repertoire. Bravo Amy, once again you capture the story of so many of our lives.
