To all Bud and Travis and "Folk-Boom" Group Fans: On March 24, 2003, Folk Era Records will be releasing only the second CD from the great early 60s folk-boom duo Bud and Travis. (As many of you know, B&T is sadly underrepresented among folk-era groups on CD.) The double-CD is entitled "The Santa Monica Concert," and it is the complete March 24, 1960 performance of Bud and Travis at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The songs are presented in the order they were played that evening. Spoken comedy introductions (for which B&T were well-known) are indexed as tracks in and of themselves, so that a listener can more easily jump to a favorite part of the performance, whether a song or an introduction. The CD is available for pre-order on the Rediscover Music Web Site at http://www.rediscovermusic.com. You can also order by phone by calling (1-800-232-7328 M-F 10am-5pm Central Time) as soon as today (3-13/03), or by mail at: REDISCOVER MUSIC CATALOGUE 705 S WASHINGTON ST NAPERVILLE, IL 60540 For anyone in this group who has not heard Bud and Travis . . . TREAT YOURSELF!! Amazing classical guitar playing, perfect harmony vocals, and exquisite choice of material. B&T (Bud Dashiell and Travis Edmonson) were best known for their lovely (and extremely authentic) renditions of traditional Spanish/Latin American folk songs (boleros, serenatas, juapangos, etc), but they can throw down the "American folkie" stuff as well or better than anyone, as well! Be sure to pick up the CD if you are already a fan, or give it a try if you haven't heard them before. You will thank me--guaranteed! Tom http://www.budandtravis.com
