I'm still a little peeved that they didn't include the one song I recorded for the CD but, at the time I'd only been playing there about two years and all the folks who got featured had been playing there 10 years or more...

1) Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation (barbershop which became a DC blues mecca--is now a music hall, museum and teaching facility--this is a blues CD to support it--and some of my friends are on it.)

2) Rhonda Vincent (starts with 3 songs by her that Jan and I are trying to learn)--then more bluegrass and country by lots of other singers. It's one I made from other CD's we have --and a few songs bought on I-tunes.

3) What a Singing There Will Be--Helen Schneyer. Wonderful--and there are about 4 songs I'm trying to learn

4) Corelli--Violin Sonatas--very warm and cozy

5) Grocery Unpacking Music--another CD I made from CD's I have and from I-tunes. Lots of Shania Twain--great for unpacking groceries. Also Dixie Chicks, Kendalls, Freddy Fender. Yes, I do listen to it also after the groceries are unpacked.

Go ahead Steve - use it at will.

I think it was the second song on your CD that made me think - Hmm - What if the Hollies were some young guys that had just formed a band around 2002 ? It would have sounded alot like this.

Great stuff. I was expecting to like this based on what I heard from the Headlights but this is some of your best stuff. And there were some really nice production values if this was recorded in your living room. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to your next one.

"And a fine new CD from Mudcatter "Closet-Folkie" aka Steve Robinson. If there were such a thing as "Neo-retro" folk-rock music Steve nailed it. Some of the songs would not have been out of place on an early Beatles or Hollies record. One song { Goose Flesh } even reminded me of "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys. AND he recorded it in his living room."

Wesley S, thanks for the kind plug. Would you mind if I took the "Neo-Retro Folk-Rock" tag and ran with it? Brilliant.
It's funny, I've heard the Graham Nash/Hollies comparison a few times and though it's not at all unflattering, I never really thought of him/them as influences. It could be worse--one radio guy said that my stuff made him think of Herman's Hermits(I've since forgiven him)
You're right about "Gooseflesh"; it's a bit of a nod to Brian Wilson(ok, a lot). If anyone else fancies a listen to it, it's at the link below.
By the way, my current listening includes Pete Yorn, Ron Sexsmith and plenty of John Shuttleworth.
Cheers then, Steve R.

Pete Abbott - 'Against the wall' has been nearly worn out since I bought it on 27 Jan when he appeared (alongside Edwina Hayes) at Cottingham Live, in East Yorkshire.
The diction and sentiments are very clear and Petes voice is easy to listen too. It makes me think of Billy Joel - but British.
Kendalls post reminds me to put on Eric and Ralph but I'm sure I'll be back to Pete very soon ...he HAS to be heard!

Today while driving into the big city and back I listened to Phil Ochs "Pleasures Of The Harbor" which I had just transcribed from vinyl. I found it a quite interesting departure from his earlier protest type work. I must confess that when I first brought the LP home I played it once and said what the hell is that all about and put it away - I was expecting the protest singer/songwriter. On relisten I found beautifully written songs and melodies even though some of the arrangements are a little jarring - ragtime and dixieland style sound a little odd on Phil.
I'm wondering if this album has been discussed here and what are your opinions of it.

Both CD's by a group called Hit and Run Bluegrass from Colorado. They have a woman in the band who is a fine flatpicker.

And a fine new CD from Mudcatter "Closet-Folkie" aka Steve Robinson. If there were such a thing as "Neo-retro" folk-rock music Steve nailed it. Some of the songs would not have been out of place on an early Beatles or Hollies record. One song { Goose Flesh } even reminded me of "Pet Sounds" by the Beach Boys. AND he recored it in his living room. { Steve – I owe you a PM but my computer died awhile back }
