Thread Name: Review: Columbia Bar CD
Subject: Review: Columbia Bar CD
Called Tales from the Bar..songs of the Lower Columbia River...it is mostly about the bar area itself though..great shipwreck songs, a beautiful lullaby, beautiful version of Crossing the bar..some historical songs, like the Boston men..songs about shanghaiing, the origins of the Coast Guard..lots of variety..not all shipwrecks...

You can preview on CD baby http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/talesfromthebar2
or PM me or mail me at mgclutter@yahoo.com.

I think if you like Maritime music, this will fit a niche you never know you had...really not a lot of songs about the area, but it is such an important maritime area and so powerful a place..and I think you get the "sense of place" here quite a bit on this CD, if I say so myself.
