07 Aug 01 - 08:40 PM (#523077) Subject: Texas Gladden CD From: dick greenhaus Rounder has just released the first-ever all-Texas Gladden recording. It's taken over 60 years, and it's well worth the wait. Not a sweet, gentle voice, but a miraculous ballad singer (sort of an American Jeannie Robertson). If you haven't heard her sing, you should hear this CD. If you have heard her, there's nothing I have to say. CAMSCO carries it. |

I've never heard her but I've seen her name keep coming up as a source for a number of the songs collected by Lomax (can't remember what ones though). Barry |

09 Aug 01 - 01:11 PM (#524388) Subject: RE: BS: Texas Gladden CD From: dick greenhaus Burl- CAMSCO takes credit cards. PayPal works. Or, if you prefer, I can PM you an address in England that will accept Sterling. The price is $12.95(US) plus $6.25 shipping and handling. There's also a Hobart Smith re-release that makes for a nice sister/brother pair. It's the same price, and additional shipping cost is a mere $1.65. |

09 Aug 01 - 05:17 PM (#524638) Subject: RE: BS: Texas Gladden CD From: RoyH (Burl) greetings Dick, Yes please pm me English address. To me this sounds like essential listening to anyone professing an intrest in traditional singing. Is the Hobart Smith the same one that came out on Topic in the 60's? Thanks, Burl. |

09 Aug 01 - 07:02 PM (#524717) Subject: RE: BS: Texas Gladden CD From: dick greenhaus Only Hobart Smith I know. Fantastic instrumentalist on guitar (Railroad Bill among others) and banjo (too many to mention). Also played fiddle and piano. I'll PM you the address. |

Contains Soldier's Joy, Peg and Awl, Sitting on Top of The world, Uncloudy day, among others. One of my all-time favourite US traditional albums. |

10 Aug 01 - 12:26 PM (#525121) Subject: RE: BS: Texas Gladden CD From: RoyH (Burl) Hi again.I should have added that the Topic album is called 'The Old-Timey Rap', Topic 12T187. Originally recorded by Norm Pellegrini in '63. It has a glorious picture of a smiling, collar and tie wearing Hobart, playing fiddle in the on the shoulder position. A joyous picture. I wish I had a copy to frame. It is on a par with the great cover of Folkways Roscoe Holcolmb album. Dick thanks for the pm, could you do me another with the sterling eqivalent prices please. Or should I just look up the current exchange rates? I'm really excited by the prospect of these recordings. |

11 Aug 01 - 12:08 AM (#525496) Subject: RE: Texas Gladden CD From: Sandy Paton Folk-Legacy's recording of Hobart Smith, licensed in the 60s to Topic for release on LP in the UK, is almost ready to be released on compact disc. The new CD will include a couple of extra cuts we didn't have room for on the LP, including a GREAT "Railroad Blues" guitar instrumental and one additional banjo instrumental. All cuts were recorded by Norm Pellegrini at the WFMT session in Chicago. Sandy |
