Thread Name: Baseball Songs
Subject: RE: Baseball Songs
In reference to some comments about "Blasted in the Bleachers," I'd like to set the record straight. I recorded the song at a concert and released it on my own label in 1976. I did a studio version in in 1980.
(John Lincoln Wright also did a baseball song in the 1970s but not "Blasted in the Bleachers.")
The live version is on my "Baseball's Greatest Hits" CD, which is available on CD Baby and from me directly. The studio version is from a CD called "Here We Go Again." You can find them both on CD Baby.
Chuck Brodsky's CD is "Baseball Ballads," which is a terrific collection of 10 baseball songs. You can order from Chuck's Web site.
Chuck and I did an all-baseball show (I opened, he was the feature) at a Boston-area coffeehouse in August of 2003.
If you need any more info, go to www.cdbaby.com, look me up and send an e-mail.
