Okay, I just picked up Chris Roe's new CD at Dusty Strings in Seattle. It is beautifully packaged and contains the sort of music you would expect from Chris – very tastefully done with excellent musicianship. The CD was produced by William Pint and Felicia Dale, who also performed back-up vocals and instrumentals along with Tania Opland on fiddle, Dan Mahr, Mary Benson and others. Chris sings and also plays harp, button accordion, and concertina. It's a beautiful collection of songs and instrumentals, very nicely performed. Here's the track list:

1. When I was in My Prime
2. The Desparing Lover/Excuse Me
3. Bad Boys and Privateers (Chris Roe)
4. Tom Bowline (Charles Dibin)
5. Wednesday Night/ Northlands (Susan Conger)/ The World Upside Down
6. Wind River Waltz (Mariide Widmann)
7. All Among the Barley
8. Michael and All Angels
9. Saint Malo/ Reel des Noces d'Or
10. NaCl (Kate McGarrigle)
11. Hard Times Come Again No More (Steven Foster)
12. La Manfredina/ La Rotta della Manfredina
13. Smoke On the Wind (Chris Roe)
14. Row On (tune: Tim Laycock)
15. A Pilgrim's Way (words: Rudyard Kipling, tune: Peter Bellamy)

Track 13, "Smoke On the Wind" (words and music by Chris) was particularly touching since today is the anniversary of the 9/11 attack in New York City. You can buy this at Dusty Strings in Seattle or email Chris Roe HERE.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
