Thread Name: New Jerry Rasmussen CD: Back When I Was Young
Subject: New Jerry Rasmussen CD
I've just finished a new CD of old songs titled Back When I Was Young. Thre are a couple of tracks of studio produced songs: Levi Kelly (a song from an old broadsheet about a hanging) and Jerusalem Slim (The Hobo's moniker for Jesus) three children's songs that I wrote many years ago when my sons were little, including Robert's Rooster, a couple of old recordings done in my Greenwich Village days with Luke Faust: Hopalong Peter and Blues In The Bottle, and a couple of songs that friends have performed and recorded that I never released on an album. 14 songs, in all.

I was thinking I might call this a Basement Tape album, which makes it sound very underground (basements by definition being underground) or field recordings (which makes it sound very authentic.) All but two of the songs are original.

If you have any interest, you can PM me for more information..
