CAMSCO Music is pleased and proud to announce its first release under its own label: a 2-CD set "Tell a Story--Joe Heaney in the Pacific Northwest" The album was conceived as an opportunity to provide a companion recording to "Say a Song: Joe Heaney in the Pacific Northwest" (Northwest Folklife NWARCD 001, 1996). Both recordings draw from live performances by Heaney during his residence at the University of Washington School of Music between 1982 and his untimely death from emphysema on May 1, 1984. A phrase that he frequently uttered in both conversation and performance was abair amhrán, inis scéal ("say a song, tell a story"). The compilers of both volumes took these words to heart, allowing Heaney – through these two recordings – to do both. As a bonus, the Irish-language songs used in the stories are transcribed and included on the CDs as pdf files.

Wow! This is wonderful!   I put together a documentary on Joe Heaney a few years ago and "Say A Song" was a wonderful source. Good luck with this release, it sounds wonderful!

I received my copy and it is a goldmine!   I never had the opportunity to see Joe when he was alive, and these recordings are a marvelous introduction to the collection of stories and songs that Joe carried with him, and shared with others.   

The tehnical aspects are superb - considering that these are field recordings, the overall quality is excellent and the stories are captivating.

I am sharing a cut on my Session show this Friday at noon ET on WFDU - I fell in love with the story of the Three Advices.
