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.

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
   
6. Winter Man (Chris Leslie)
   
7. New Year (Jehanne Mehta)
   
8. The Month of January
   
9. Cupid's Garden
   
10. The Brokendown Gentleman
    
11. Love in June
    
12. Lymington Round & Round (Rick Keeling)

I finally got around to doing the graphics in Photoshop for our first (debut) cd, so then I was able to put it up on cdbaby.com. For anyone who might be interested, the ShoreGrass cd "In Connecticut" is now available at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/shoregrass2. This one has traditional bluegrass, folk and gospel plus a few originals.

Our 2nd cd "Songs of the Civil War Era" is also available on cdbaby.com at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/shoregrass.

We have "Man in the Middle" on our ShoreGrass cd, and I got in touch with Harley Campbell about permission. He told me that the owner of the publishing to that song is:

Paul Craft
Paul Craft Music
401 Bowling Avenue #62
Nashville, TN 37205
[phone]

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!
