A very rare recording by NILES has been issued on a CD-R from the Canadian company M.C.Productions Vintage Recordings: CDN-269 ROYCROFT Records-THE ENGLISH SINGERS. The disc contains 26 tracks, 24 by the ENGLISH SINGERS of Madrigals and similar material. Added are 2 tracks from the nearly unknown ROYCROFT 78rpm record 172: Marion Kerby and John Jacob Niles Just Like a Tree Planted by the Water He's Got the Whole World in His Hands Information about ROYCROFT is hard to find - depending on source, recorded sometime between 1927 and 1933. Kerby and Niles performed together between 1929 and 1932, many concerts reviewed or announced in the NY Times. They also performed in other places around the United States. If anyone has the original 78rpm issue of this, or has any definitive information about recording or release date, or knows of any contemporary reviews of the disc, PLEASE let me know. I would also like to know if anyone else on this list has any interest in Niles work. Thank you! Best wishes, Thomas. |
