Mudcatter CD's PermaThread

This is a PermaThread (edited thread), used for information about CD's recorded by Mudcat participants. Feel free to post messages to this thread, but be aware that information in this thread may be deleted or edited to make it serve as a permanent guide.

---

I noticed in another thread that a Mudcatter was uneasy about promoting his own CD in the Mudcat Forum, and I don't think there's any reason to be hesitant about a little modest self-promotion. The really notorious Mudcatters like Art Thieme and Rick Fielding and Kendall have no problem generating interest in their recording here, and may sell as many as ten or maybe even fifteen CD's as a result of their association with Mudcat. I've heard great recordings by a number of Mudcatters - Dan and Bonnie Milner, Dave Swan, Radriano, The Chucks (Woodchucks' Revenge), Seamus Kennedy, Jed Marum, Judy Cook, and Sandy and Caroline Paton. There are others I forgot, I'm sure.
So, I thought I'd start a PermaThread that would centralize information about Mudcatter CD's to make it easy for people to find out about them and learn how to order them. I envision allowing one message per CD - if you've posted a message and want to add information, just post another message and I'll eventually patch the two messages together. I think I'd also like to restrict this thread to just Mudcatter CD's - CD's recorded by reasonably regular participants.
Thanks.

...I like the idea of promoting Mudcatter's CDs but how do we keep the amount of promotion down so that it doesn't overwhelm everything else? I don't want to start a flame war but how do we distinguish between regulars and the occasional person who just wants to use the forum as a marketing tool? (People know I hate excesses of anything on the 'cat)

Also, one other one I would highly recommend is Lothlorien; they are not on here on a regular basis, but one of them is a member and their music is really good. I'll go hunt up the relevant threads and patch in for you.

New Mudcat member Mary Daily. Her CD is called "Beginning". Her CD is a combination of traditional folk songs, and original songs that she wrote and composed herself.

The CD features Mary doing vocals, as well as guitar, lap dulcimer, banjo, and bodhran accompaniment. She is also accompanied by Don Moore on autoharp, Sharon Hall on violin, Alexander Mitchell on fiddle, Larry Shroyer on harmonica, Christopher Youngblood on congas, and Seth Austin on guitar.

Mary doesn't have a computer at home, so she does her Mudcatting at the library. She has no web page, and she can't access her personal messages. If you want information on how to obtain her CD, send me a personal message, and I'll get the necessary information to you.

What I'm trying to do is have a master set of links at top of this PermaThread (note revisions I just made), and then one message per performer, preferably posted by the performer him/herself. I will copy and paste any additional information into the performer's message, and then delete the subsequent messages. If would be nice if the message could include a brief description of the CD, and maybe names of the songs on the recording.

Folk-Legacy's newest CD, "Irish in America" came out this week.

"Irish in America" is subtitled "A Musical Record of the Irish People in the United States 1780 - 1980" and that's what it is - 14 songs about the Irish-American experience from the Revolutionary War onwards. It features many of the finest musicians on the New York City Irish scene including 5 All-Ireland Champions. I sing 9 of the songs; my singing partner, Bob Conroy sings another 5. There are 4 Irish dance tunes (jigs and reels) well played on fiddle, flute and uillean pipes. Two of the musicans are child prodigys and were 15 and 16 when the recording took place.

Sandy Paton started a thread about "Irish in America" here and Big Mick, who has heard it, gives it 2 thumbs up. Mick liked it so much that he must've e-mail the Pope because Sandy took an order from the Vatican a couple of days later.

You can listen to a sound sample at the Folk-Legacy website. If you like Irish music, I really think you should give it a listen because it is quite unique.

Thanks for listening.

All the best,
Dan Milner

I recorded a CD with the group Urban Myth several years ago. Mostly traditional, some world music, some originals (including a beautiful song based on W. B. yeats' Song of Wandering Aengus).

The arangement of John Barleycorn is mostly mine (the John Renbourne-y bits were stolen by the artistic director).

You can buy it (or maybe hear MP3s, not sure) at www.urbanmyth.com.

I am no longer with the group; had not been for years before the CD even came out...still there is some good stuff on it and I have several vocal solos. Some unusual instruments too (shawm, recorders, African drums etc,)

My husband & I have a cd out, it's mostly him , but I co-wrote a song and sing the melody on that one. His cd is called "Would You' and the genre is original Christian songs. Some 'catters like it, and some don't. It is available @ the usual online outlets, I'd bet Folk Legqacy can order it for you. Here's a song list:

1. Saved by Grace 2. Dave's Song 3. Lord, Liar, or Lunatic 4. Jubilee 5. Carry You Away 6. Baptism 7. Wash it All Away 8. St. Somebody's Song 9. Would You? 10. God's Light, Take 2

The music is accoustic guitar, with some harmony. It is very sparse and pared-down. I think the songs are powerful. We auctioned one about 6 months ago, I reckon it's about time to put another one up!

I was in a book/music store today and had I had the money would have brought home Jean Ritchie's CD of Apalachian Dulcimer music....Don't recall the title of it, but perhaps someone could root it out and Jean could get a couple of plugs here as well. The store is Borders Books and Music

For CD's from Dave Swan's group, Oak, Ash, & Thorn - try looking at http://www.oakashthorn.com/....

Mudcatter Dave Swan is part of this group, which does some terrific a cappella harmonies.

BOB BOLTON has done many recordings of songs of his Australia-----many with bush bands and bush ballads. He has collected a ton of wonderful fiddle and concertina songs that are ALL native to Australia---not imports from elsewhere. (There are lots of imported variations of songs from elsewhere in his rep to but Mr. Bolton is a collector of the highest order.) Now---I only wish I could hear the CDs he painstakingly burned for me from cassettes. Sadly, neither of my 3 CD players will track those. Am I doing something wrong? Say la V.

The new Keepers Lock CD is now available. Details from the website: http://keeperslock.webjump.com/

There are some sound clips on the site, from this and previous recordings. Unfortunately we can't put full songs due to the lack of space, but if anyone is interested have a look and a listen.

Damn! I still can't get the hang of these blue clicky things!!!

In the spirit of shameless self-promotion, I'll mention the 2 CDs I've made: TAIL FEATHERS UP (1994) and TWO TOWN MAN (1997). Each contains songs I've written but includes ONE song by another: "Jasper Jail" ("Bill Malone") on the first. It was written by the late Hamper McBee of Monteagle, Tennessee. He was a moonshiner I knew when I was in college in the 60s. One of the damdest characters I've ever known. TWO TOWN MAN winds up with the fairly obscure Hank Williams song "Just Waitin'". Several musician friends from Florida, the Carolinas, Guatemala, and New York help me out. My address is: PO Box 3205, St. Augustine, Fl. 32085. tel: [phone] email: [e-mail] I'm told that one or both of these is reviewed this week in Savannah's CREATIVE LOAFING magazine. -?- I have one regular gig: Tuesdays at 9 pm at STOGIES in St. Augustine. (Also check out my pals THE HOUSECATS there on Thursdays!) Contact me for other dates if you've got nothing better to do. I'd list the song titles if I had the time - maybe another day....Thanks for indulging me. David Dowling

You can order any of my nine CDs from cdbaby.com (just like Jed Marum's). They were recorded over a period of 25 years! And, I've got a new one coming out about September. Gonna be doing Jed Marum's Sweet Ellen Joyce on it. What a fine song, Jed.
Thanks Joe.

I have a self produced CD that I sell at my gigs. It's traditional folk, very simply accompanied by guitar. Here's the track list:

Mary and the Soldier (that's the title of the CD, too) House Carpenter Andrew Lammie Sweet Carnloch Bay P Stands for Paddy Mick Maguire The Bold Grenadier Farewell to Whisky Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens The Lark in the Morning The Bonny Boy The Jolly Tinker The Little Beggarman Wraggle Taggle Gypsies Whiskey You're the Devil The Foggy Dew (rebel version)

Price is $12.00 in the US, $15.00 elsewhere including postage. I have some songs in the Cantaria http://www.chivalry.com that would give you an idea of my repertoire (I think you can do a search under "Mary Smith") but the recording quality is not very good - I did it on a Tascam tape recorder. (Cantaria is an educational tool so people can actually hear the songs sung and learn them.) If anyone wants a CD they can pm me or e-mail me at [e-mail].
