I'm willing to revive this thread, Joe.
Aberdeen singer / songwriter Bob Knight - who posts here occasionally - has a recently-released CD of his own songs. I was delighted to have been asked to contribute some accompaniment on whistles and flute, so have to declare some kind of interest. I honestly can't think of hearing any recording of original songs sung in Scots / Doric of such consistently high quality - ever.
Bob has a "promo" video for the CD on "Youtube" - here :

Hmmm. Nobody's posted here for a while. If you have recorded CDs, post a message here and tell us about them, and tell us how to obtain them. One message per CD, please - or you can use one message and tell us about multiple CDs, if you like. But if you have one CD to sell, please don't post ten messages.

I could have sworn I'd posted this three years ago, but apparently I didn't, so I'll add my CD to this list.
"It Was a Dark and Stormy Night..." is a CD of my original songs, available almost everywhere on internet sites thanks to CD Baby, iTunes etc.
I'm currently working on "Legends", but there is a studio to complete before any serious creative input to that. I have made a start on Odysseus & the Sirens (Thanks George P) and "Njal's Saga",and the ideas book is filling up with thoughts about Pandora, Arthur, Roland and all things Persian.

Aloha from Yorkshire.

I have a CD that has been mentioned once or once. It is 9 traditional folk songs from England and the US and 2 original decompositions.

It was a Froots Critical success last year. I mean 2008. And other places liked it too. Like Radio 3's Late Junction's Verity Sharp who played not once, but TWICE. Howzat.

The album is called "My Dearest Dear" and my stage name is Michael Rossiter which coincidentally is my real name since birth.

It is sold out though so I don't know why I'm plugging it.

Well it will be until my label (Me AKA Folk Theatre) has some more to sell which should be soon!

Might as well put in a plug for my CD, especially now that individual downloads are availale: Mary's CD - "Of Rogues and Lovers" . Nine of the tracks are traditional ballads. This CD was a joy to make - my son helped me with the arrangements and did the guitar picking (much better at it than I am), and friends in Ireland added a few other backing instrumentals.

Our band ShoreGrass now has 3 CDs, all available at CDBaby ShoreGrass CDs.

The latest one "GOING HOME" is mostly originals, with 2 classics. It has grammy winning Dobroist Stacy Phillips on most tracks, playing either Dobro or fiddle, and old-time fiddler Bud Morrisroe joins us for two songs. The biggest kick for me, however, is having our son Jonathan holding down the bass. He's a great musician and it was a thrill to have our kid join us for this project.

Debra Cowan's newest CD "Fond Desire Farewell". To get purchase information, you can go to my website

This CD was arranged and produced by Dave Mattacks, known for his work with the English folk-rock band Fairport Convention. Fond Desire Farewell contains contemporary songs written by Richard Thompson, Bill Caddick, Nic Jones, Steve Tilston, and Ralph Stanley. Ray Davies's "Alcohol" has become a favorite among listeners as has Chris Moore's "Wall of Stone". The traditional songs in this recording reflect Debra's extensive research of North American and British Isles ballad collections.

Exploring the theme "transformation through devastation", Debra Cowan's newest recording, "Fond Desire Farewell", is being hailed as her greatest work so far. Cowan and Mattacks have taken contemporary and time-honored traditional songs and put them in a modern setting. Dedicated to her late brother, Michael Strassman who passed away suddenly during the project, Debra says that "...this recording project was a large part of my healing."

Debra Cowan started performing in California 35 years ago and began touring in 1998, with frequent stops in the US and UK, from folk clubs to festivals like the New Bedford Summerfest and the Dunbar Folk Festival in Scotland. That led her to where she is now, a full-time singer who bridges the old and new with a refreshing stage presence.

Dave Mattacks is arguably the world's greatest "folk rock" drummer, having held down the beat in the seminal UK band, "Fairport Convention" from 1969 to 1997. Mattacks has toured and recorded with the likes of Jethro Tull, Paul McCartney, Elton John, XTC, and George Harrison -- among many others -- and is one of the most sought-after drummers in the United Kingdom and America. He can be seen behind the kit with artists as unique and talented as Rosanne Cash, Judith Owen, and Grey Delisle.

Praise and Comments:

Ranked #29 for the Top Albums for April 2009 on the US-based Folk DJ-l discussion list

"Debra has a voice which beautifully combines Celtic and Appalachian sensibilities. She and Dave Mattacks have created a deeply satisfying, lyrical and musically elegant record." -Roseanne Cash, singer and songwriter

"...a wonderful voice and the production is great - unobtrusive and yet full...." -Mike Harding, host, Folk and Acoustic BBC Radio 2

"...this is my kind of record. Beautifully sung and superbly produced." - Linda Thompson, singer

Named "CD of the Week" and one of "Rich's Picks" by Rich Warren, host, Midnight Special, WFMT, Chicago, IL

"Well done to all concerned, it's a lovely album indeed with a great choice of material, and excellent notes" - Len Holton, host From Albion and Beyond, KUAR, Little Rock, AR

Songs and Stories of Canada
This CD-ROM contains 16 half-hour shows (originally CBC radio) made for schools broadcasts (Grades 5-9)in Western Canada in c. 1980. Each thematic show contains dramatic presentations on the theme, five or six songs, sound effects, etc. Accompanying the shows is a 120 pp Guide Book in .pdf format containing some 50 songs from the series. Some of the songs were re-mastered and are on the three Our Singing Tradition CDs.
Moving West – early exploration of the west during the fur trade, building the CPR and subsequent settlement of the Prairies.
Saltchuck and Asphalt – transportation past and present, mainly in British Columbia — truckdriving, freight wagons and teams of horses on the Cariboo Road, railways and tugboats.
The Homesteaders – lives of settlers on the prairies in the early years of the twentieth century—living in sod homes, fighting off mosquitoes, grasshoppers, gophers, duststorms, hailstorms, drought and loneliness.
The Parish Hall Dance – gives examples of the role of folk music – particularly singing – in social situations from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
The Immigrants – a collection of immigrant songs in English and French. The groups covered are the Scottish (Cape Breton), French (Quebec), British (British Columbia) and Irish.
Fishing East and West – fishing for cod off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, whaling off Greenland and fishing for salmon and halibut off the BC coast.
The Rush for Gold – the three major gold rushes of western Canada—the Fraser River gold rush of 1858, the Cariboo gold rush of the early 1860's, and the Klondike gold rush of 1898.
Songs of the Deep Sea Sailors – the lives of sailors who worked on the tall sailing ships of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
The Lumbering Woods – the way of life of the loggers who worked in the lumber camps of eastern Canada.
Logging in the West – the way of life of the loggers who worked in the lumber camps of British Columbia.
Songs of the Miners – the miners who worked in the hard rock mines of British Columbia and the coal mines of Cape Breton.
Folk Instruments – some of the instruments used in traditional Canadian folk music over the past 150 years—especially the button accordion, the fiddle and the concertina.
The Kangaroos of Nova Scotia – how songs are passed on and the changes they undergo in the process.
The Atlantic Provinces – draws together in song common themes in the Atlantic provinces—lumbering, fishing, Acadian songs in French and songs from the descendants of Scottish immigrants in Nova Scotia.
Songs and Stories of Quebec – the life and history of Quebec—the fur trade, logging, farming, fiddle-playing and story-telling.
Songs of the Land – the struggle for survival in "the North".

Many Mudcatters have recorded or produced CD's, and I know it's hard for them to get people to buy them. I was going to start a new thread, but then I decided to just sex up the "Mudcatter CD's" PermaThread and see if we could get some recordings sold.
If you have recording something you'd like to sell, post a message here and tell us what's on the CD and how to get it.

Hi, my first solo CD looking Back comprising 10 origional songs is now available from myself at gigs or from Kidney research UK
kidney research site
Review :-
Teesside-born Mark has been a familiar face on the Wharfedale folk scene for more than a dozen years, being involved in running the Pannal (Millfolk) club and sessions and as a regular performer at Otley Folk Club, both solo and with folk-bluegrass trio Northern Lights. His trademark rich, deep voice (with its overtones of Johnny Cash!), together with his easygoing guitar style, makes him an ideal performer of country music, but on this release the clue lies more in its title, for Looking Back is what Mark is doing here with a collection of ten of his own songs written over the past ten years. Around two-thirds of these can be placed firmly in the "tradition" of contemporary industrial/vocational balladry, the remainder being affecting songs of lost love.

Mark's family made their living in the Staithes area, from the sea and mining (and his father eventually got his own boat), so many of Mark's own songs are well steeped in the sea and the fishing, compassionately and intensely expressing, in simple and direct language, the contradictory emotions, the sense of resignation and inevitable tragedy set against the deep lure of the sea and the straightforward justification for the employment. Natural nostalgia for the work and its happier times is always tinged with infinite regret at the lives lost.

There are some outstanding songs in this category here that deserve a permanent place in the modern tradition – Waiting On The Shore, Gone To Sea, Mists Of Time and Lifeboat Song especially come to mind – and they stand the test of time well, being memorable both for their deeply-felt and thoughtful sentiments and their strong melodic content. The non-fishing songs provide a contrast, for they're couched in a different musical idiom, that of contemporary country singer/songwriter; 42 And Counting, Do You Think That I'm Crazy and Crimson Skies are attractive compositions evidently much inspired by the Hugh Moffatt/Kate Wolf repertoire which Mark performs live with Northern Lights, whereas Lost At Sea is more reflective, its catchy use of refrain reminiscent of Ewan Carruthers or vintage Allan Taylor.

Finally a word of praise for Mark's decision to resist any temptation to over-arrange the songs, preferring instead to keep the accompaniment simple and unpretentious (just his own guitar, with well-judged contributions from John Savage (fiddle) and Steve Fairholme (melodeon) and fellow-Northern Lights members Anne Jackson and Chris Rawnsley; the production too is admirably unfussy, allowing the listener to concentrate on the songs. Congratulations to Mark on finally getting it together in the studio to set down these fine songs for posterity.

Tim Radford, an English singer now living on Cape Cod, has recorded again after a period of near thirty years, his singing inactivity being due to decades of concentration on Morris dancing in the villages of Adderbury and Kirtlington, Oxfordshire.

Now back to his first love, this recording contains songs old and new with 10 accompanied and 7 unaccompanied tracks. It includes a range of material from chorus songs to ballads, mainly traditional material but with a scattering of composed songs, some written by old friends.
There is a strong commitment to songs collected in the south of England, particularly from Hampshire and Dorset, a part of the country where Tim was born and raised.

The seventeen tracks on the recording are:

1. Come, Come my Friends
   
2. John Barleycorn
   
3. The Bird in the Bush
   
4. The Three Ravens
   
5. Fair Maid of Australia

After contacting them, I was referred to [e-mail] for licensing contracts. This all happened in 2001, so I don't know if any of the addresses are still valid.

Harley, by the way, was very nice, and lived at the time in Trumansburg, NY. In fact, he found me, after hearing that I had been asking around about how to contact him! Network, network, network...

Good luck. It's a great song!

Hi all; This is on the 'NorthernCDs' thread as well; is this ok Joe?Bit on the Side have a CD out called 'Running Through the Heart', and it's available at our gigs or by mail order. A Personal Message on this board will do, or you can go to http://www.myspace.com/bit_on_the_side

where you can hear four tracks (MP3, not CD quality) before you decide. The CD is recorded so that we can reproduce it live, ie no megastar guests or 'wall of sound' overdubs; it sounds like we do if we play a gig at your folk club. A lot of the songs are about work, especially mining, and there is a blend of traditional stuff, contemporary songs and some of our own music. Tracks are;

Black Veins (Rodgers)
Blackleg Miner (Trad)
World Turned Upside Down (Rosselson)
Blind Mary/Planxty Irwin (O'Carolan)
I End Up Drinking Alone (Rodgers)
The Harvest Had Failed (Rodgers)
King of the Faeries/Sally Gardens (Trad)
Keep Your Feet Still Geordie Hinny (Wilson)
Shabby Seaside Towns (Mundy)
Salty Dog Blues (Trad)
I Don't Know Where I'm Going (Rodgers)
Weary Whaling Grounds (Trad)
Buckets of Rain (Dylan)
Willafjord/Pig Ankle Rag (Trad)
Howay the Lads (Rodgers)

Hope to hear from some of you!

I'd like to add my CD "Away For The Day" to the "Better Late Than Never" column, if I may. My songs are all self-penned and are not what you'd call trad. folk by any stretch. I suppose it's more of a folky-pop for poppy-folk sort of thing, really. You can read reviews at the link below if you'd like. Cheers then, Steve R.

We finally did it!!! Sandy Andina and I have been promising to make a CD for the last six years. The promise has finally been kept. It's called Andina and Rich : Because We Can .

                            The Songs

A FINE ROMANCE – We open in a most un-folkie-like fashion with a treasured old showtune written by Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern. You have to imagine, for a moment, that Sandy and I are Fred and Ginger (Fred Flintstones and Ginger Ale).

TIME HAS NO MERCY – Early in the 19th century the United States fought a war against Mexico.
Like all wars, it has its mythology (on either side of the Rio Grande). America's move west is no less steeped in folklore. This song tries to cut through some of it.

BECAUSE WE CAN – The events described in this song actually happened to Sandy. This is for anyone who has been screwed by a bureaucracy. Even if you are part of a bureaucracy a bigger bureaucracy than your own has probably shafted you. This song is still for you.

SHIRA – Sometimes it is easier to see the big issues more clearly if you look at them thorough the eyes of one person. In that spirit Sandy examines the thoughts of an Isaerli border guard.

THE CONMAN – Amongst Sandy's talents is a knack for creating sharp parodies. We regularly perform this backspin on Michael Smith's "The Dutchman" in the ongoing hope that Michael will not have us drawn and quartered.

MUDBALL – It is impossible to experience life's joys without having also known abject despair.

SAFE HOME – Despite the Political Right's claims to the contrary, those of us who oppose the war in Iraq DO care about our soldiers in the line of fire. The one thing upon which we can all agree is that we want those kids to get home in one piece.

MY GRANDFATHER"S CLOCK – Parodies are like potato chips. We couldn't do just one.

ORANGE AND PINK PRAIRIE SKY – When driving long distances by yourself you may, at some point, get so caught in the rhythm of travel as to acieve a sort of zen; a moment when you feel more free than you have ever felt before. It happened to Sandy whilst driving from the airport in Joplin, MO to a gig in Coffeyville, KS.

YOU CAN'T DO IT ALL ON YOUR OWN – Let's face it. We need each other for a lot of things. Even this song is a group effort. It was written by Stephen Lee, Sandy, and Alan Moorhouse (alanabit). It's already an international projrect. Join the fun. The more the merrier. We're hoping that it has a future as an organizing song.

I finally got my stuff together and recorded the CD that's been in my head for the past few years! Wish I'd done it ages ago. Much of the credit goes to the encouragement of friends & mentors who played on the recording: Donnie Macdonald, Jimmy Keigher, John Taylor and Glenn Cornick. Release party will be December 3 at CTMS in Encino, CA thanks to FolkWorks. It's on CD Baby at Where The Heart Is now.

Feels a little funny to be "blowing my own horn," but I actually like the finished product and felt like telling someone.

In this business one has to re-invent one's self regularly. Toward that end I have taken the plunge and become a record producer.
    My first effort in that direction is an anthology of performers based in the American Midwest (for the most part Madison, WI and Chicago in this volume, but in future we will expand the focus). It's called Tappin' Out A Rhythm. Pickin' Out A Tune. I'm kind of proud of it, but, then again, I'm the producer.

Songs:
Eleven Below - Sof Sof
Sos Sof (pronounced with the long "o" sound) are Miriam Brosseau and Alan Sufrin. Whereas most dous tend to bang out the exact same chords at the same time and sing only half-step harmonies, these two both play guitar well and write for vocal counterpoint.
Eleven Below is, believe it or not, a love song. They're from Wisconsin. It's cold up here.
What amazes me is the level of sophistication that they have achieved at such a young age (they both just got legal to buy beer). When they get to my age (50-ish) they are going to be genuine powerhouses as songwriters.

Tera's Tune - Bowen Marvik
There are few good guitar instrumentalists (remember I said "good"). Fewer still who compose thier own material. Bowen is both. This tune and Luck Of Lily J, later in the disc, prove that beyond a doubt.

Because We Can - Andina and Rich
Yes. I am the second half of this team. Sandy Andina and I have been sitting in on one another's sets for twenty years. We finally decided to make a formal act out of it. This is one of Sandy's originals. It will be the title track to the upcoming Andina and Rich CD. Be careful if you are sensitive about bad lnguage. This one has some English and Yiddish curse words in it. However, all of the incidents described in the song are true!

Black Is The Colour - Jeremy O'Sullivan
Note the British spelling. Jeremy is genuinely Irish (as opposed to being Irish-American or some other such hyphenate). As a singer I am always surprised, pleased and more than a bit surprised when someone has sufficient command of the gift to breathe new life into an old song (especially when it's one which has been as regularly brutalized as this one). Jeremy's version is a breath of fresh air.

Moj dilbere - Mazurka Wojciechowska
Maz collects and performs the songs of Eastern Europe. This one is from a CD she did with the Slavic Projection Folk Ensemble. The translation: My sweetheart, where did you go that you did not visit me this evening? Were you ill or did you fall in love with another? I'd rather find out that you were sick than courting someone else.

I've Had That Happen To Me - Stephen Lee Rich
You didn't think that I was going to do this whole thing without throwing one of my own song in here, did you? If you bought the Mudcat collection or my solo CD you've heard this one. If not, you need to, at least, get a copy of the Mudcat collection (six wonderful volumes, available from this site). This is a song about the world's worst hangover.

Old Wisconsin River - The Dustbunnies
I had the same reaction as you just did when I first heard the name. The Dustbunnies are Bill Fallon and Ben Doran. This nostalgic song was written by Bill, Ben, and Ben's grandfather, Ben Queen.

Fire On The Prairie - Aaron Nathans
Aaron is a working journalist by day and a fine songwriter and performer by night (don't ask about the full moon).This is a talent to watch. He'll be with us for a long time to come. BTW, as far as I know his song, I Remember Howard Dean, is still downloadable from the All Songs Considered website (I don't know the URL for that).

Spirit of Life - Ingrid Frances Stark
Ingrid is a songwriter, poet, artist, craftsmaker, and photographer based in Madison, WI. Given that she is also my life partner I risk a prepostoerous level of hyperbole if I say any more. It might call my objectivity into question.

Calling the Shamrock - Jeremy O'Sullivan
This is a homesickness song which could only have been written by an Irishman in Wisconsin.

You Called? - Ingrid Frances Stark
A bit of inspired silliness from Ingrid. It's the outbound message on her telephone answering machine.

Luck of Lily J - Bowen Marvik

Shira - Sandy Andina
Sandy's insightful and moving song told from the point of view of an Isreali border gaurd. It was recorded live at Wild Hog In The Woods Coffeehouse in Madison, Wisconsin in September of 2003.

Muck - Andina and Rich

    You may have noticed that the title (above) is a blue clicky. It links to the CD Baby.com page for this CD. You can hear portions of most of the songs on streaming audio on that page.

My disc is called Blues For Nightowls, and it contains original songs with the exception of two covers, "Brokedown Engine" by Blind Willie McTell and "One More Cup of Coffee" by Bob Dylan.

The mostly acoustic originals are performed by myself, and are a combination of Blues, American Folk & Rock. Together these types of music are comprised to create my style, which I have spent the past couple years perfecting (I hope). Most of these were written with my wife Brigitte. I perform with 6- & 12- string guitars and occasional percussion.

The tracklist is as follows :

1.Figment

2.Tomorrow's Calling

3.3,000 Miles

4.Take These Chains (sung with Brigitte)

5.Brokedown Engine (Willie McTell)

6.No Yesterdays

7.Duet in the Aftermath

8.One More Cup of Coffee (Bob Dylan)

9.Witchseason (Instrumental)

10.Ballad of the Wasted Wind

11.Gray Skies

12.Lesson of Love & Hate

It also includes two sets of traditional tunes. Tracks are:

Poling Copper
Young Billy Young
Cobre Days
Lifeboat Horses
Mumbles Hornpipe/ Porteynon Whim
Jerry the One-Legged Rigger
Bronze and Brass
Drinks at the Cuba
Dead Reckoning
Greenholme/ The Ivy House
The Queen of Swansea

Marty Kohn: "Drawerful of Fives"
cdbaby.com/martykohn

Yes, those are real five-dollar bills on the cover. Two years of collecting fives, instead of raiding the kids' college fund, went into making this CD.

Check out "Home on the Range" in Yiddish. Discover how "Chopsticks" sounds on the guitar. Find out where "40th and Plum" really is. Go down to "Repo Depot," home of cheap vehicles, where another man's misfortune might be your ticket out of town.
Toss in traditional and quasi-traditional favorites like "Candy Man," "Freight Train'' and "Under the Double Eagle." "Mauna Loa" from Hawaii, "Guabi Guabi" from South Africa, "Castle on a Cloud" from Paris by way of Broadway (singable only by waifs, this is a guitar solo). Plus a surprise or two.

The Star of County Down is a new version written by Graham detailing how the narrator and his "Star" got on after they had been together for a bit.

Brown Robyn's Confession has no tune in either Child or Bronson, so I have written one, William Glenn is a variant of the same song, but you wouldn't know it.

Hey thanks, Joe.

I was just heading over to post it and one other thing. So I'll jsut post the other thing:

I heard (but haven't checked out the rumour) that cafepress.com is going into cd-on-demand services as well as merchandise. That would be great for anyone who has a CD at mp3.com and who would like to sell it elsewhere.

I'm not sure if cafepress takes money orders, but you could always use the money in your account from other sales to order them for people who send you a money order, which I doubt mp3.com allows if YOU don't have a credit card. Cafepress might.

Subject: Hesperis releases CD

Hiya!

Due to the cdbaby deal that is on until the end of the month, I decided to stop "procrastinating" by trying to get certain songs "perfect" in order to get them on the CD at the quality I want, and instead release an album with a different lineup than I originally intended. So, my one-woman band, Between the Worlds, is starting to burn CDs tomorrow of the first album, "ONE".

It's named ONE because it's the first album, but also because it is a collection of songs and instrumentals that come from the heart, from the One that sustains us all.

The songs are pretty magical, and the album flows well. Several pieces have traditional or modern Sacred Circle Dances for them, and the dance notes and lyrics will be put up on the band website as soon as I get a domain and get the site done.

1. Stillness Within [3:11]
2. Lament for Flute [1:17]
3. Undersea Quiet [1:30]
4. Skylark [2:56]
5. Midwives [2:14]
6. Seal Woman [5:22]
7. Abundant Harvest [4:32]
8. Life Lives On [4:49]
9. ANRUKIMLO [1:45]
10. Joy of Angels [1:50]

Midwives is a traditional tune from Romania, I think.

Skylark has been heard by anyone who bought the Mudcat CD collection, and this album has three songs with my singing in them if you want to hear more of my voice. ;)

Seal Woman is a song about an Inuit legend. Folkies who like Native American influences will love this one.

ANRUKIMLO was named for the initials of the Nine Gods and Goddesses of the world I invented when I was seven years old, and this piece is very powerful and richly textured.

Joy of Angels is a merry, toe-tapping tune that should probably be traditional! It's original as far as I know, however it is in an older style, almost medieval.

I'm posting this thread to let you folks know about my CD, and also to ask how many CDs I should send to CDBaby on Wednesday. So if you want to order one from CDBaby in June, please PM or post. It will be $12.95 plus shipping at CDBaby. Thanks!

Blessed Be,

Hey, i just saw this thread as well!!!
My band, MUTINY GONE OVERBOARD, released our debut cd on St. Paddy's Day 2002. We are still selling remaining copies off of our website (via mail order)...we did have them in HMV before! Anyways, the cd has 11 traditional celtic songs, 2 originals, and 2 covers: 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate'- a song written by Canada's clowned princes of humour, the Arrogant Worms; and 'When the Circus Comes to Town'- a tongue in cheek look at family reunions written by Dave Carroll of the Sons of Maxwell. Our album has all the old standbys such as Whiskey in the Jar, Wild Rover, Hills of Connemara (Clancy-esque stuff I guess!). For all of those interested check out our site at
www.mutinymusic.cjb.net. Enjoy!

Okay kids, I've got a new one that some here have gotten an earful of and they've told me it passes muster or, no, wait a minute, maybe they were asking me to pass the mustard. I'm not sure, but that could mean that many parts are edible with the right condiments or maybe it's difficult to swallow without something to kill the taste. So, if you're lookin for something to listen to that lacks relish and needs mustard by all means give my cd a spin. It's called At The Crossroads and features a couple of friends, Jack Cook and Hugh Sutton, playing along with guitars and keyboards. It's an eclectic mishmash of obscurities from the dimly lit archives of America's waste land, resuscitated for your perusal. So, act now! Don't wait! Be the first one on your block to run out your door screaming wildly, I got it! Then when your neighbors calm down, and you convince them that you haven't contracted some contagious infirmaty, you can tell them all about the many gems therein like, The Man With The Weird Beard, The Girl With The Shimmy In Her Pants, Mama Don't Give All The Lard Away, and Some Little Bug. Don't be surprised though if they turn away with fearful expressions running and shrieking and threatening to call the Hasmat team or the men in white coats to come and take you away. It's just their way of saying that they've already got a copy.

Hail and ave to all you CD makin' Mudcatters. I am still here though I will not be reviewing until TUNE UP revs up again, after the festival. Our festival is the oldest and one of the biggest in the US. The profits from the ticket sales fund the myriad of programs and grants that the PFS has been offering for the past forty-five years. Of interest to this thread, our monthly publication, TUNE UP, is read by thousands of folksong fans on the East Coast. In addition, the PFS is the major employer of folksingers in this area (or any other that I know). Besides our festival, in August, we present monthly concerts, house concerts, workshops, school programs. library programs, community service programs and our Please Touch Museum series. I have a backlog of wonderful CDs to review in October but there's always room for one more. You can send me your product for review at the PFS office or, if you have questions, you can e-mail me ([e-mail])

Hi Susan, it's Mike again. I reviewed two Mudcatters, Kendall Morse and Jody Gibson, for the February issue. Did you get the copy I emailed to you? If not, let me know, and I'll send it off again. If I have room, I'll add a mention of Bron Yale's CD. If I am full, it will have to wait until March. I'd like to cover two or three CDs each month. I do get submissions from other sources but I love what I'm getting from Mudcat. I just knew that there were still a few folksingers left.

Hi, Susan - I think I'd like to see reviews grouped together whenever possible, or in a thread already started to announce the release the CD. I'm afraid if we had a separate review thread for each CD, the review would stay up for a day and then disappear. A thread for reviews for the month or the quarter would be another idea. Be sure to put Review: in the title of the message posting a review.

Kathryn,

I'm replying for musicmic in case this is one of those times he's not online here too often.

The first couple of reviews he's done of Catter CDs were run as a draft for people to think about the posting format of them, in Mike's thread where he first asked for the CDs to review. We are planning how to include his reviews on a regular basis, and whether to run them each in a separate thread or to batch them here or anywhere-- I want to know what Joe Offer thinks and he hasn't waded in yet on that point.

But the publication they appear in is actually a membership-only, printed & mailed publication of the Philadelphia Folksong Society. The draft ones we ran were for the February print publication so actually they ran here early and I think in future they should run AFTER the print version is published and distributed to the PFS membership. Unless Mike wants to say in his column, "as reviewed at the Mudcat Cafe," whcih seems a bit backwards to me! *G*

Once again, I thank the charming and tireless Susan for sending out the word about the reviews in Tune Up. For those who didn't get the earlier thread, I prefer traditional music but I dont reject traditionally based originals, out of hand. I am narrow-minded but lovable. Best of all, I never write an unfavorable review. If I dont like a CD or, more likely, if I find the contents inappropriate for my column, I pretend I never heard it. A pan serves no one except the reviewer. The purpose of the column is to encourage and reccomend. I dont have enough space on the one page to waste on stroking my ego at the expense of the artist. I save my strokes for more appreciative areas of my body. Mike Miller

What Susan says is what I say. I would like to add that I have received CDs from eight Mudcatters and I reviewed two in the January issue. I will be reviewing the others in the next couple of months. I'll be sending a copy of each column to Susan, who has offered to post it on Mudcat.
The columns appear in Tune Up, a publication of the Philadelphia Folksong Society available, only, to its members. The readership is around ten thousand, all of whom have an interest in folk music and most of whom buy CDs. The PFS produces the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the oldest, most successful folk festival in the USA. The society also presents such diverse programs as the Odyssey, which sends folksingers into public schools, a series of concerts, house concerts, workshops, library programs, children's concerts and community services, just to name a few.
I look forward to hearing more folk music CDs from Mudcatters. So far, there hasn't been an inappropriate one in the bunch. I love it when a plan works out.
For those who didn't get the earlier thread, I prefer traditional music but I don't reject traditionally based originals, out of hand. I am narrow-minded but lovable.
Best of all, I never write an unfavorable review. If I dont like a CD or, more likely, if I find the contents inappropriate for my column, I pretend I never heard it.
A pan serves no one except the reviewer. The purpose of the column is to encourage and reccomend. I dont have enough space on the one page to waste on stroking my ego at the expense of the artist. I save my strokes for more appreciative areas of my body.
So, if you think you'd like some publicity for your CD and, if you think it appropriate for my column, send it to me at the office.

Jody Gibson "Spanning the Decades 1957-2001"

Mostly Folk, some C&W. Contains commercial recordings on TETRA (Good Morning Captain, my one "hit")
Good Morning Captain is simply my way of singing "Muleskinner Blues" It was only released in New England, NY, NJ and (maybe) Pennsylania. Sold 400,000+ 45's and 25,000 78's. (or 75,000 78's, depending on who is counting)
I was a USAF T/Sgt Air Traffic Controller when I made all of my commercial recordings. I was chief controller at Suffolk County AFB, NY when Good Morning Captain was released. one of the reasons for it's (unexpected) success is that Alan Freed was my manager's father in law and it got a lot of play on the pop and Rock stations. This one was released in May 1957. almost immediately after it's release I was transferred to England. While I was stationed at RAF Bruntingthorpe I formed the first integrated C&W group to record for a major lable (Parlophone)
Sir George Martin was head of A&R at Parlophone. All my Parlophone recordings are included in this CD. I was transferred to RAF Lakenheath in 1958.
The flip side of Good Morning Captain was poorly produced with too much echo which made the singing sound sour. The echo from each note fed over to the notes on either side and prroduced a cacaphony. This "Dud", though recorded at a first class studio (Bell Sound) was released over my objections. It was entitled "21 years" but was a lousy re-write of Worried Man Blues. Jay Stump's arrangement and electric guitar background and my 5 string banjo lead and instrumental solo were, too good to just throw away. So, I made a composite using the instrumental break for background (twice) added an acoustic guitar rhythm throughout, and sang the traditional lyrics with this composite, (also harmony on the chorus)
This bit of magic was accomplished at the Rose Island recording Co. studio (my attic) and is track #3 on the CD
Similar technique was used for "San Antonio Rose", but, for a different reason. All I had of this excellent "Parlophone" recording was a tape that I'd sent to my parents. The first 16 bars had been accidentally erased. The instrumental break is 16 bars long, so, lead in and the first 16 bars of background were constructed from the instrumental break. I sang along with this background and sang harmony with myself on the middle 8 so the change in voice isn't too startling, and then let the original run itself out. This worked even better than "Worried Man" I can't find the exact spot where the pieces are "punched in" even though I know where they are.

Oh! Yes, The original "flip side" of Good Morning Captain" is included (track 21) to show where the pieces of the composite came from.

All instruments and all voices on the "Rose Island" tracks were done by me. This was a lot of fun. Only the best of this lot are on the CD. The others are (to put it simply) not quite up to standard. (realy lousy) Donna and I laughed a lot when I did these.
On Paddy Lay Back, the "bunch of semi-sober sailors " in the chorus (deliberate) include imitations of Porky Pig, Capt Herb Spinney, Capt Barclay Warburton III, Popeye and Buggs Bunny.

The tracks on this CD are:

1.Good Morning Captain (TETRA 1957)
2. Heave Away Johnny (Trad. Capstan Chantey) (Rose Island 2000)
3. Worried Man Blues (Trad. composite TETRA 1957-Rose Island2001)
4. Farewell to Tarwaithe (trad. Rose Island 2001)
5. Kissin' Time (Mann-Lowe) Parlophone 1959
6. Providence Waltz (Jon Campbell) Rose Island 2000
7. San Antonio Rose (Wills) composite Parlophone 1959 and Rose Island 2001 8. Foxwood Polka (Jon Campbell) Rose Island 2001
9. Man on My Trail (Loudin) Parlophone 1959
10.Company's Comin' (w/"The Muleskinners") Parlophone 195911. Hillbilly Fever (w/"The Muleskinners") Parlophone 1959
12. That's All (Merle Travis) recorded in the laundry room of AMQ 825A, RAF Lakenheath 1958 (AMQ-Airmen's Married Quarters)
13. So You Think You've Got Troubles (Marvin Rainwater) Parlophone, 1960
14. If You Don't Know (Geo Hamilton IV)Parlophone 1960
15. Fredericks of Galilee (Jon Campbell)Rose Island 2001
16. Keep on Fishin' (Jon Campbell) Rose Island 2001 17 & 18 Paddy Lay Back (Trad Capstan Chantey)Rose Island 2001
19. All For Me Grog (Trad.) Rose Island 1999
20. The D-Day Dodgers (Henderson) Rose Island 1999
21. Twenty One Years (Gibson-Bruce) TETRA 1957

ATTENTION MUDCATTERS WITH CD's--

According to THIS THREAD, someone is looking for indie folk CDs to review for Tune-Up, a publication of the Philadelphia Folksong Society. The Society's membership is in the thousands and is not confined to the Philadelphia area.

To summarize, Mike Miller, the reviewer, has reviewed: Bluegrass, Barbershop, Gospel, Klezmer, Celtic, French, Puerto Rican and Russian. He has recommended eclectics, revivalists, revisionists and free thinkers. He hears a lot of children's songs, labor songs, protests and parodies. He prefers traditional songs but will reccomend a singer/songwriter if he/she really knocks his socks off.

Send CD and information to:
Philadelphia Folksong Society
7113 Emlen Street
Philadelphia, PA 19119
Attention Mike Miller

Be sure to include information on purchasing the CD. Is it available in stores? Do you have a website? What is the price?

Subject: Mudcatter CD's - Barbara Shaw
From: Barbara Shaw
Date: 06 Nov 01 - 09:25 AM

My band "ShoreGrass" recently self-produced our VERY FIRST CD entitled "In Connecticut." The CD is available for $15 through me by sending me a PM or note to [e-mail]. We do a mix of bluegrass /folk /traditional /original songs, with guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin and fiddle. Here's the song list with brief liner notes:

1. Six Wild Roses (Norman Schell) 2:51 Norman was a bandmate of Frank's in the 70's folk/rock group "Clean Living." We wonder if he recognizes the song since we put the grass to it.

2. Lonely Tombs (Traditional) 3:40 We first heard this on a Hobart Smith album recommended by Sandy Paton, and thought we had come up with a fresh new arrangement. Then someone told us this is just how Ralph did it. But only Paul can sing this high.

3. Connecticut Waltz (Barbara Shaw) 2:41 We sat around many a jam playing the Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and other state waltzes. After looking and not finding one for Connecticut, Barbara wrote this for her home state. Lyrics still need to be de-corned.

4. Man in the Middle (Tom Harley Campbell) 2:38 We've heard this in G major, and liked a slightly minor slant to it. It's also known as Three Men on a Mountain.

5. One More Miner (Barbara Shaw) 2:23 This is a (mostly) true story about Barbara's grandfather, who died when her father was 10. There were miners out West, too.

6. Last Old Shovel (Traditional) 3:00 The guys at Hank's Garage always request "that shovel song," so we had to include this.

7. Against the Tide (Barbara Shaw) 4:27 Our friend Tex asked if there were any songs in minor keys in bluegrass. In response, Barbara set out to write a bluegrass gospel tune in a minor key. It turned out to be not bluegrass, probably not gospel, but it's definitely minor.

8. Jordan (Traditional) 2:10 Louis makes his singing cameo on this old gospel number.

9. Sing Away the Sorries (Barbara Shaw) 2:35 The guys in Clean Living had a reunion once and surprised everyone by doing this on stage. Since we didn't record that evening, we included this one.

10. Keep on the Sunnyside (Traditional) 2:48 Just about every jam includes this at least once. The Carters inspire much of our music.

11. A Waltz For You (Frank & Barbara Shaw) 2:11 Frank originally wrote the first verse of this song to Barbara. She collaborated and wrote the second verse by paraphrasing a stanza from Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." Larry's classical training got us through the modulations.

12. Cajun Rock (Norman Schell) 3:14 Norman lived this song.

13. Old Man at the Mill (Traditional) 2:16 Bluegrassers know this as an old Dillard's tune, and folkies know it as "The Jolly Miller."

14. I Can't Go Home (Barbara Shaw) 3:37 This was written after the hardware store closed in the town of Branford. It reflects the bluegrass festival lifestyle, rolling down the road in a camper.

15. Tear My Stillhouse Down (Gillian Welch) 3:22 Gillian went to Berklee, where Jonathan is a student, so we like to support the place and it's graduates. Easy to do with such a great song.

My Daughter Kathy has recorded a new album titled My Mother's Voice scheduled to be released October 1st on Copper Creek Records. It's a collection of standards that Kathy learned from her mom, Dodi Kallick.

Kathy was joined in the studio by quite a few of her friends, many of them well known to Mudcatters. She writes in the liner notes:

I was struck by how affected many of [them] were by singing and playing these often-familiar songs. They too had learned them from family members and early mentors, and some had forgotten what wonderful songs they are.

A while back, Art Thieme remembered Dodi's singing Web of Birdsong, and Kathy thanks him in the liner notes for reminding her of it.

Here's the track list:

PS So you really don't want to go about surfing the net looking up all this stuff, right? OK, here's the low-down, short and simple.

Going Up the Missouri: Songs & Dance Tunes from Old Fort Osage is an anthology of folk songs, fiddle tunes and pop songs all dating from before 1820. If you go to rendezvous, if you are involved in living history, you'll like this record. Why? Because I recorded it using instruments common to the era, such as the wire strung 18^th century Guittar. Want to know more about what that instrument sounds like? Maybe you'd enjoy listening to the CD.

I've been happy to play cuts from "Going Up the Missouri: Songs & Dance Tunes from Old Fort Osage" on my show.

Just last Saturday I experienced my first ever "professional" recording session, of which I intend to write in more detail as a seperate thread. For a 19th Century kinda guy it certainly was a mind-expanding, intense experience for which I was hardly prepared, and I think that many of you "Pros" to whom this is routine will find it amusing - kinda like "Festus goes to Nashville".
What we apparantly ended up with was 16 (album length, they tell me) tracks of guitar, primitive flute (made it m'self) and Military Fife. Since the Technician (an MD who works with my Spouse weekdays and runs this studio in his spare time) had never seen a fife before (so as he knew what it was), he had me run a guitar track over a fife solo of "Battle Hymn". Was that ever weird!?
The CD (I would classify it as a "demo" at this point, as it's a long way from perfection) is being "mastered" and whatever else they do with these things at this time and should be out in about a month. Unless it is a total embarrassment, I want to send a copy to those who have graciously sent me copies of their CDs (Susan in CA, I still owe ye an eval, don't I?) and hand out a few to friends & family who have been bugging me to record. This oughtta cure them of that fancy!
The idea of a CD swap between Mudcatters rather appeals. If I do sell any I guess ten bucks is about the going (break-even?) rate for first-attempt "demo" CDs, isn't it?

just a question: my mother just put me on to mudcatters. It is an interesting site. I have published a few CD's aon a cery small scale. Some of these have been recorded on location in West Africa and little Tibet. My goal is that the musicians, often living in poverty, can benefit from the sales of me CD's. Sometimes I play along on my flute.

would it be interesting to have these CD's listed here? You can find more about them by going to my website: http://users.bart.nl/~jlpertz

I have a self produced CD that I sell at my gigs. It's traditional folk, very simply accompanied by guitar. Here's the track list:

Mary and the Soldier (that's the title of the CD, too) House Carpenter Andrew Lammie Sweet Carnloch Bay P Stands for Paddy Mick Maguire The Bold Grenadier Farewell to Whisky Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens The Lark in the Morning The Bonny Boy The Jolly Tinker The Little Beggarman Wraggle Taggle Gypsies Whiskey You're the Devil The Foggy Dew (rebel version)

Price is $12.00 in the US, $15.00 elsewhere including postage. I have some songs in the Cantaria http://www.chivalry.com that would give you an idea of my repertoire (I think you can do a search under "Mary Smith") but the recording quality is not very good - I did it on a Tascam tape recorder. (Cantaria is an educational tool so people can actually hear the songs sung and learn them.) If anyone wants a CD they can pm me or e-mail me at [e-mail].

In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, I'll mention the 2 CDs I've made: TAIL FEATHERS UP (1994) and TWO TOWN MAN (1997). Each contains songs I've written but includes ONE song by another: "Jasper Jail" ("Bill Malone") on the first. It was written by the late Hamper McBee of Monteagle, Tennessee. He was a moonshiner I knew when I was in college in the 60s. One of the damdest characters I've ever known. TWO TOWN MAN winds up with the fairly obscure Hank Williams song "Just Waitin'". Several musician friends from Florida, the Carolinas, Guatemala, and New York help me out. My address is: PO Box 3205, St. Augustine, Fl. 32085. tel: [phone] email: [e-mail] I'm told that one or both of these is reviewed this week in Savannah's CREATIVE LOAFING magazine. -?- I have one regular gig: Tuesdays at 9 pm at STOGIES in St. Augustine.

BOB BOLTON has done many recordings of songs of his Australia-----many with bush bands and bush ballads. He has collected a ton of wonderful fiddle and concertina songs that are ALL native to Australia---not imports from elsewhere. (There are lots of imported variations of songs from elsewhere in his rep to but Mr. Bolton is a collector of the highest order.) Now---I only wish I could hear the CDs he painstakingly burned for me from cassettes. Sadly, neither of my 3 CD players will track those. Am I doing something wrong? Say la V.

My husband & I have a cd out, it's mostly him , but I co-wrote a song and sing the melody on that one. His cd is called "Would You' and the genre is original Christian songs. Some 'catters like it, and some don't. It is available @ the usual online outlets, I'd bet Folk Legqacy can order it for you. Here's a song list:

1. Saved by Grace 2. Dave's Song 3. Lord, Liar, or Lunatic 4. Jubilee 5. Carry You Away 6. Baptism 7. Wash it All Away 8. St. Somebody's Song 9. Would You? 10. God's Light, Take 2

The music is accoustic guitar, with some harmony. It is very sparse and pared-down. I think the songs are powerful. We auctioned one about 6 months ago, I reckon it's about time to put another one up!

The arangement of John Barleycorn is mostly mine (the John Renbourne-y bits were stolen by the artistic director).

You can buy it (or maybe hear MP3s, not sure) at www.urbanmyth.com.

I am no longer with the group; had not been for years before the CD even came out...still there is some good stuff on it and I have several vocal solos. Some unusual instruments too (shawm, recorders, African drums etc,)

Folk-Legacy's newest CD, "Irish in America" came out this week.

"Irish in America" is subtitled "A Musical Record of the Irish People in the United States 1780 - 1980" and that's what it is - 14 songs about the Irish-American experience from the Revolutionary War onwards. It features many of the finest musicians on the New York City Irish scene including 5 All-Ireland Champions. I sing 9 of the songs; my singing partner, Bob Conroy sings another 5. There are 4 Irish dance tunes (jigs and reels) well played on fiddle, flute and uillean pipes. Two of the musicans are child prodigys and were 15 and 16 when the recording took place.

Sandy Paton started a thread about "Irish in America" here and Big Mick, who has heard it, gives it 2 thumbs up. Mick liked it so much that he must've e-mail the Pope because Sandy took an order from the Vatican a couple of days later.

You can listen to a sound sample at the Folk-Legacy website. If you like Irish music, I really think you should give it a listen because it is quite unique.

Thanks for listening.

All the best,
Dan Milner

...I like the idea of promoting Mudcatter's CDs but how do we keep the amount of promotion down so that it doesn't overwhelm everything else? I don't want to start a flame war but how do we distinguish between regulars and the occasional person who just wants to use the forum as a marketing tool? (People know I hate excesses of anything on the 'cat)

Glad to see this here as I was uneasy about promoting my stuff on here as well.

I have one cd out now called "Banks of Green Willow". It is a six-song EP that I released last July.

In January 2001, I will release my first solo album entitled "The Long Grey Line". Musicians who helped out on this album are:Geoff Bartley, Hanneke Cassel, Lorraine Hammond, Gaston Bernard, Steve Sadler and Jim Williams.

You can go to my website for more information and my performance schedule.

Thanks, Joe, for doing this.

Debra has two new CD's in 2001, "Long Grey Line" and Songs and Ballads of HATTIE MAE TYLER CARGILL.

I play with a band called Telynor. We do mostly Euro-trad music with hurdy-grudy, cittern, nyckelharpa, etc. We have three CDs available. Visit the Telynor web site for sound samples, reviews, performance schedule, and ordering info.

This is a PermaThread (edited thread), used for information about CD's recorded by Mudcat participants. Feel free to post messages to this thread, but be aware that information in this thread may be deleted or edited to make it serve as a permanent guide.

I noticed in another thread that a Mudcatter was uneasy about promoting his own CD in the Mudcat Forum, and I don't think there's any reason to be hesitant about a little modest self-promotion. The really notorious Mudcatters like Art Thieme and Rick Fielding and Kendall have no problem generating interest in their recording here, and may sell as many as ten or maybe even fifteen CD's as a result of their association with Mudcat. I've heard great recordings by a number of Mudcatters - Dan and Bonnie Milner, Dave Swan, Radriano, The Chucks (Woodchucks' Revenge), Seamus Kennedy, Jed Marum, Judy Cook, and Sandy and Caroline Paton. There are others I forgot, I'm sure.
So, I thought I'd start a PermaThread that would centralize information about Mudcatter CD's to make it easy for people to find out about them and learn how to order them. I envision allowing one message per CD - if you've posted a message and want to add information, just post another message and I'll eventually patch the two messages together. I think I'd also like to restrict this thread to just Mudcatter CD's - CD's recorded by reasonably regular participants.
Thanks.
