Bruce Murdoch has a new CD called "Matters of The Heart" and I haven't heard it yet.

I'm usually a patient person, but I've been waiting a long time to hear more Bruce Murdoch music. I want to hear songs that Bruce wrote & sings and plays acoustic guitar for that are as good as or better than my favorites from his old records-"Plains of Jericho", "Rough Night in Jericho", and "Come Across To You".

I wanna buy Bruce's new CD and hear his new songs and just groove with them-you know what I mean?

This Mudcat thread provides an opportunity for all those who have been waiting for some more Bruce Murdoch music to say Hooray!! to Bruce for finally making this CD.

This thread also provides an opportunity for people to share their reviews of & their comments about the songs on Bruce's "Matters of the Heart" CD. Comments and questions about other Bruce Murdoch songs can be posted on this thread. I'm sure that when Bruce returns from Quebec's Apple Hollow Music Fest where he performed and launched this CD, he'll be checking in here and will respond to comments & questions.

And, last but definitely not least, this thread provides me with the opportunity to announce that Bruce Murdoch has a new website at
http://www.brucemurdoch.com/

Bruce's website was designed/developed by Mudcatter olddude {Dan O'Connell}. Thank you, Dan, for volunteering to spearhead this project!!!

The website is still under construction awaiting sound clips and other material from Bruce. But, it's already lookin good, so don't forget to visit there!

So, has anyone heard Bruce Murdoch's "Matters of the Heart" CD? What do you think of it and what are your favorite songs from that CD?

Inquiring minds wanna know. Please post your comments here.

Thanks, in advance, for your participation on this thread!

Guldhamstern, although the notation on Bruce Murdoch's website indicates that "CD Available After July 28, 2008", Bruce's new CD is available now. It's the paypal feature on his website that may not be activated until July 28th, 2008.

If you're interested in purchasing a CD now, or if you prefer not to do it through paypal, since you're a Mudcat member, you can send a private electronic message to Bruce by clicking on this hyperlink, contact Bruce Murdoch {Peace} and then clicking on the pm letters next to his name. Bruce will then get back to you and you two can discuss what method you want to use to purchase his CD.

For those persons who aren't Mudcat members, please consider joining this international community. Mudcat Cafe is an online discussion forum that focuses on folk & blues music & other topics. Many Mudcatters's definition of folk music is rather liberal. For instance, I wouldn't consider Bruce Murdoch's songs as "folk music" and I believe that Bruce has said that he doesn't describe his songs as folk music. Yet, I believe that Bruce's songs resonate so well with so many people because their lyrics speak to the universal emotions that people everywhere have experienced. So, whether Bruce's music is "folk" or not, many people who are Mudcat members & regular guests enjoy hearing Bruce's songs and enjoy discussing Bruce Murdoch music with each other.

Aha, I think I've already made contact with Bruce and will just wait and see.

But 28th will certainly be a great day!


About songs I've heard to be included in the album, I Can See You Now is a ten out of ten.

I had expect The Last Man Standing to be on the album, at first I did not like the song but after listening a couple of times, I'm suprised it's not on the album.

I have heard the tracks and I have to say this is pure Bruce Murdoch at his best. His music can make you cry or laugh or feel young again. He has the finest touches of Buddy Holly in his brightest moments blended with the sharp poetic eye of Dylan with a much better voice.

Canada -- be proud of your son! He's a real gem.

What I meant to say is the guestbook on bruce's site is member only
you have to sign up for it just like mudcat. it requires a login, password and email. The other stuff is optional and in fact i will remove the other stuff as soon as I get a chance. No need for city, state etc when you just want to post a comment. Anyway, it is a full forum for discussing music with, about, or for bruce. I am just going to give it a try and see how it works out.

Thanks Azizi for all the helpful suggestions on building the site. I am not much of a graphics artist. I know the Java JSP code inside and out but without visual input everything I do would be Green for Irish

It occured to me that English may actually be a foreign language for some people who are part of Mudcat.

"Internet lingo" or whatever it's called is another type of foreign language. I had to pm {send a private electronic message* to Amos to find out what "BBM" means [see his post on 20 Jul 08 - 03:05 PM]. Amos told me that BBW means "Best Beloved Wife". I suppose everyone knew that but me...

*the "p" in pm might also means "personal". "Pm" is a verb-to send a private {personal} electronic message. "Pm" is also a noun-a written private {personal} electronic message.

One of the benefits of joining Mudcat is that members can send & receive pms from other members, and these pms can be archived {kept} in your own personal page. Any post that you write as a member is also archived [stored/kept] under the title of the thread and the date & time it was written.

"Post" is also both a noun and a verb. A "post" is a comment that a person writes on an Internet discussion thread {though I'm still not sure why a series of comments are called "threads"}. "To post" is the act of putting comments on [in?] a public {Internet] thread.

I confess that I'm not even sure anymore how I got on this subject and where I was going with it...

Oh, I remember. I was also going to point out that one thing that happens when you're a member of any group is that you find yourself using "group speak" {words and phrases that people in the group readily [?] understand, but people outside the group may not understand at all].

Assuming that there may be people who are new to Mudcat Cafe {or is the name of this online community Mudcat Discussion Forum? I've been a member for almost 4 years and I'm not sure about that}, I wanted to clarify* that Amos and gnu were referring to Mudcatter Dick Greenhaus whose record company Camsco Records carries [has] a wide assortment of records [music CDs and maybe vinyl music records and music tapes, but I'm not sure about those last two now antiquated music products.

Well, if anything was muddy, as a result of that lengthy discourse, I hope that it's now clear as glass [assuming that glass is clear].

*I know by now some of you are smirking because I'm probably the very last person who anyone with sense would choose to clarify anything since I have a tendency to break things down to itty bitty parts to see what each of those parts mean. But I do end up putting them back together and learning something in the process.

You have to trust me on that.

Besides the discussions about music, the thing that I like best about Mudcat is the fondness that some of its members have for witty play on words.

gnu, I'm talking about you. And I'm talking about Amos and others, too, not to mention somebody whose name is Bruce.

On the Apple Hollow Music Fest thread I said that I listened to "Matters of the Heart" on the way to Dorval Airport from Adrien's and then later on my drive from Miami to Ft. Myers. That wasn't my first listen since I had it in the rent-a-car cd player the whole weekend I was in Franklin Center. There isn't a bad cut on this cd.   I'm just sorry that "Last Man Standing" didn't make it but that's all the more reason to buy the next one.

Cheers,

Waiting for me when I returned from the Apple Hollow MusicFest was the latest issue of "Dirty Linen: Folk & World Music". I don't know how many of you are familiar with this publication (out of Baltimore, MD) but it features extensive reviews of newly released CDs as well as features on folk and world musicians. This issue, by the way, has a nice feature article on k.d. lang.

Anyway, it got me thinking about how Bruce plans to market/promote "Matters of the Heart" and I wondered if someone from this site should send in a review of the cd and, for those who were there, perhaps a review of his eveing set.

Just a thought..............

Hi Ken, keep having those thoughts.... this cd was largely the result of a lot of collective energy.. positive encouragement directed toward B.M.

Being an Indie release, the 'marketing' of it will entail much of that same kind of help, tips and contacts... (sounds folky to me)

He now has a copy of the 'Indie Bible' which is a great resource book and guide.... this time around the whole process is really 'hands-on',

but I would ask you to wash your hands before making up another batch of that grape kool-aid...

Date: 22 Jul 08 - 08:49 AM

Ron, I absolutely agree with everything you said about how we all can provide help, tips, contacts, and encouragement to Bruce to help him market his CD.

And in regards to your last comment about the grape kool-aid, for the record, [no pun intended], and for clarification purposes, here's a link to this fine example of Mudcat humor {humour} and witty word plays:

thread.cfm?threadid=112902&messages=54
Why does Bruce Have a Purple Face?

That thread was started as a result of this comment that was posted by Big Al Whittle {weelittle drummer} on Bruce's website:

"best of luck with album and the site! you are the first folksinger with a purple face. I feel sure you will not let the unique nature of being purple stop your songs from being relevant for the rest of us."

-snip-

I assume that the real story is that the photographer for a performance last year that Bruce did in Quebec added a purple tint to the photograph that he took of Bruce. I guess that the photographer did this because he felt that it adds a more "arty" touch to the photograph. And some people might agree with that decision.

But if you visit that thread, you'll find that a lot of people don't buy that explanation. Instead, they offer their own opinion/s on why Bruce's face is purple.

Don't forget to visit that thread! I bet you'll find yourself chuckling at many of the comments.

I just received a pm from Adrien {Beer} who asked me to convey this message from him and to convey a message from Bruce as well.

Adrien asked that I let people know that he is still coming down from the festival and still has lots to do. He thanks you all for your well wishes & your support.

Adrien has also spent some time after the festival with Bruce. Bruce doesn't have access to a computer now, but he's told Adrien that he will be writing on Mudcat shortly. Bruce also wants people to know that he very much appreciates the well wishes, and the compliments, that Mudcatters and other people on his website have expressed about his festival performance and about his Matters Of The Heart CD.

Also, Bruce wants people to know that he's aware of the "Bruce has a Purple Face thread" although he hasn't read it yet. And he thinks the idea of that thread is a hoot {or some words like that}.

I look forward to Adrien's and Bruce's return to active posting on Mudcat threads.

In particular, I can't wait to read what Bruce's comebacks will be to some of the posts on that Purple Face thread.

Just here for a minute. Thank you ALL so very much. Without your encouragement and the hard work of Ron Bankley there is no way this CD would ever have come about. That's a fact. Another is that I love you guys very very much. I will be able to sit for a bit this weekend and I will post more.

As a BTW, Jeri Corlew, April Werner and I did a couple of songs in the studio today ("I Can See You Now" and "You Make My Heart Beat Fast"). I think (hope) Ron will be adding some of his magic. We expect to get one of the performances on Youtube within a few weeks and the other in a month and a half or so. We were done in three hours. However, it'll take longer tomorrow to edit, mix and master the vocals and guitar tracks. Simon Jodoin is a great engineer and a wonderful guy to work with. Young fellow with a great sense of 'joie de vivre'. Clement Rosa is something else and his studio is the best I have ever worked in. Anyway, for now, y'all keep well and stay safe.

Ron....thank you for the note but I must issue a disclaimer.....I had nothing to do with any grape Kool-aid or Bruce's appearance on his website. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it!! Actually, his appearance was considerably more pale as he watched me, Adrien, and April chow down on bowls of la poutine last Thursday evening in Ormstown. LOL

I enjoyed your comments on the festival thread about Gary and Linda and how they got you back into your B & B. They are salt of the earth people, aren't they? Thanks to Adrien, I had the pleasure of making new friends, not only with with Linda and Gary, but with Fred and Ruth Sundborg (where I stayed) and who taught this city boy more about dairy farming than I could imagine in a weekend. Bill and Bernice Paxton ( who ran the beer tent) are pretty cool people, as well.

As to promoting the cd and our man, Bruce. I imagine the artist himself should weigh in on this, but, in addition to the aforementioned "Dirty Linen", I think a copy of the CD should be sent to Jim Frum at "Folk Alley", the internet folk music station out of Kent State University in Ohio.

The NPR outlet in Baton Rouge, LA has a weekly folk show called "The General Store" hosted by Taylor Caffrey. When I lived in Baton Rouge, I would guest-host this show when Taylor was out of town or needed a break....in fact, I think a cut or two from the CBC album was played on that show by yours truly. I'm going to "grease" that one and will send mailing information shortly.

Hey Ken,

I thought that line from Bruce Murdoch's song "Last Man Standing" was

"Write to me when the life's not so demanding....."

And not what you wrote:

"Write to me when the light's not so demanding....."

So I guess that's an example of one of them montegreens, eh?

Unless I'm wrong and what you wrote is the correct word. But I can see "life" being demanding. But what would "the light" be so demanding about?

Good evening. Azizi suggested to me that someone who has "Matters of the Heart" should post the track list to this site. Here it is:

1. I Can See You Now
2. I Sit and Count the Stars
3. She Reminds Me of You
4. I Keep You in My Heart
5. Daly's Song
6. That's The Way It Is
7. When I Cannot Sleep at Night
8. You Made My Heart Beat Fast
9. Angels in My Heart
10. As Soon as Possible
11. I Can See You Now (Acoustic Version)
12. First Robin of Springtime

We probably all have our favorites but I'm particularly fond of "I Can See You Now" (both versions), "She Reminds Me of You", "Daly's Song",and "You Made My Heart Beat Fast". However, in truth, there isn't a weak track on this remarkable cd.

One further thought on promoting this cd (and Bruce, in general), the cd, preferably accompanied by the artist, should be at the International Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, TN, February 18 - 22.

Cheers,

Thanks, Ken for posting the song track for Bruce Murdoch' Matters of The Heart CD.*

And with regard to that montegreen/mondegreen post:

You could say that I spelled that word "montegreen" on purpose to see if any one would notice.

You could also say that I was trying to create a new subgenre of mondegreens that were created by purposeful spelling.

But the real reason why I typed that "montegreen" instead of "mondegreen" is that I thought that was what I saw when I read that Wikipedia. In other words, "monte" is more familiar to me than "monde"

So, although that wasn't my intent, maybe I really did start {or at least added to} a new sub-section of mondegreens!

Great!

* I'm including Bruce's last name for the reason you stated in your post. There's other Bruce Murdochs [Hi y'all!] and the more Bruce's whole name is typed, the more this thread moves up the page lists in Google.

Does it matter that this thread is high up on the page list? Perhaps. That way more people will happen to see it, and some of these people may be curious who the heck this is, if they have never heard of him before. And they may click on the thread, and read it and as a result they will learn about Bruce Murdoch the singer/songwriter, and some of them may go on to check out his music.

Mission accomplished.
