Hi Bartholomew,

I didn't know those O'Kanes records ever made it to CD. I have them only on LP, and had thought 'Imagine That' was their only CD. I don't think Adelphi/Genes has a website. It does have an email address: adelphi@erols.com. The Rounders 'Last Round' CD is available at CDNow. Lucky Dog seems to be a recent sub-label of Sony for reissue stuff. It has the 2 albums that I mentioned plus others by Marty Stuart, Rodney Crowell, Joy Lynn White and Shelby Lynne.

If you like the O'Kanes, you will also love a new live recording by Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch. It is titled '11/12/13 Live in Melbourne'. It was released in Australia on the Shock label, but is also available on Dead Reckoning. It is totally acoustic - just the 2 of them with guitars, sharing their songs. Lovely stuff! Unreservedly recommended.

Jamie O'Hara's 'Rise Above It' was released by RCA in 1994 (RCA 66297-2). All the songs are O'Hara compositions - 'Rise Above It', '50,000 Names', 'For Reasons I've Forgotten' etc. I don't know whether it's still in print, but definitely worth seeking out.

Cheers, Stewie.
