Several people have commented that Ray Driscoll CD 'Wild, WIld Berry' which I produced was lacking in background notes on the songs. I have tried to remedy this by putting notes with sound clips on the Internet here.

Ray was one of our least-known traditional singers and deserves to be better known.

Just to offer a word of thanks for posting this information about a very interesting man and putting so much time and effort into an album which sadly will never be a big big seller. Spreading the word on worthwhile performers and giving the background information on them and their repertoire is one thing that I like about Mudcat. Unfortunately this type of posting is far far outweighed by masses of dross on pop music (which I personally feel does not belong here) and mindless questions such as who is your favourite singer?

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the extra information coincidentally I was just working towards starting a thread about this recording.

I have just put it on my mp3 player and have been enjoying it immensely and there is a lot to listen to. I only got to see Ray on about 4 occasions but was really taken by his singing and I am so pleased that you were able to record and put out this CD.

Do keep up the good work

Tradsinger, have you passed this information to Rod Stradling? I guess the regulars on mustrad would be keen to know that this extra information is available.
