The Man with a Rhyme Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Two albums released in the 70s really established Archie Fisher as an outstanding singer-songwriter as well as an unusually talented interpreter of traditional song. This is the better of the two: better songs, better accompaniment and better production. Although he has put out some fine material later in life, you owe yourself the treat of hearing this performer in his prime -- warm vocals, beautiful guitar work, and so steeped in the tradition that you'll be hard pressed to distinguish the Fisher originals from the traditional ballads.

Archie Fisher exemplifies all that is good about the folksong revival. His deep respect for the older musical traditions of his native Scotland enables him to approach them creatively; his understanding of those traditions is such that he has been able to compose a new ballad (The Witch of the West-mer-lands) that could easily assume a place among the classic ballads compiled by Francis James Child during the latter part of the last century.A superbly inventive guitarist, Archie's accompaniments are always appropriate to the song: never distorting it, never overwhelming it. Whether it be a rich underscoring of the original air or an exquisite counter-melody reflecting and complementing it, there is a satisfying sense of rightness in all of Archie's arrangements.His singing can be warm and tender - gentle, without sacrificing the strength that has sustained the tradition for so many centuries. Archie is a sophisticated person, yet he is able to approach the sentimental without self-consciousness.One is always reluctant to use the rather indefinable term charisma, but there is a quality about this (then) young man that invites such a description. Perhaps it is a combination of the kind of sensitivity that creates in him an unusual empathy, lending depth to his artistry, and a rare measure of native Celtic charm. Whatever it is, it is certain that you will sense it, too, as you listen to this, his first American recording.In 2008 Archie Fisher was made an MBE for his services to traditional Scottish music.He has been described as one of the most influential artists of his time. As well as a series of folk albums he has presented BBC Radio Scotland's awarding-winning Travelling Folk programme for 25 years.Mr Fisher said he was delighted to get the same honour as previously given to other famous Scots musicians."I looked at some other fellows who had an MBE, Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham and I thought I'd love to be a part of that outfit," he said. "So I'm on equal terms when it comes to honours. I've been doing this for a long time so it has been more of an endurance than choosing a highlight."
A Woman's Heart: A Decade On Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A Woman's Heart 1 and 2 introduced me to a number of wonderful Celtic artists, most notably Dolores Keane. (Like "Mary29" I was also prompted to go out and buy as many of her CD's as I could find.) Though I thoroughly enjoyed all of the songs on "A Decade On" I was completely blown away by "Mystic Lipstick" (written by Christy Moore and sung here by Maura O'Connell), quite possibly the most hauntingly beautiful song I've ever heard. I have to believe the woman in this song is actually Ireland ... "She keeps fools for counsel, she keeps the wig and gown. The cloth and the bloody warfare, the stars and stripes and crown. And still we pray for a better day now, God willing it's for the best. But I've just seen the harp on the penny with a dollar on (...)." The imagery and heartbreak of the lyrics are conveyed perfectly by Maura O'Connell's beautiful interpretation and voice. Worth every penny for this song alone, this is one CD that I'm going to be playing over and over. (And I'll soon be having some Maura O'Connell CD's to keep my Dolores Keane CD's company :-)

Mystic Journey Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)...when Arlo Guthrie first sang Alice's Restaurant--but I saw the movie when it was first released and bought the album as soon as it was one. I've followed his music for over 25 years and this CD is vintage and futuristic. A few of the songs, "A Soldier Makes it Home," "Doors to Heaven," and "Wake Up Dead" he's been playing and refining in concerts for years. At least one of them, "Under Cover of Night," echoes Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young "Ohio," though the words are nothing the same. This album brings together Guthrie's faithfulness to protest and the lyrical beauty on albums such as "Amigo" and "Outlasting the Blues." Maybe the coolest thing about this CD is that he produced it with his son Abe, who wrote with him some of the songs, and Terry La Berry. This is family listening at it's best! Only wish he'd give the girls a better part.

Try Me One More Time Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After a 17 year recoding hiatus, Bromberg is back with this enjoyable set of mostly blues and folk standards. Imagine David Bromberg sitting in your living room singing and picking his Martin M-42 Signature Edition guitar. This album is great fun for Bromberg fans, with the liner notes as entertaining as the music. Ultimately, David does not "make these songs his own" in the way that he has done previously with other blues standards (e.g., "Statesboro Blues," "Dehlia"), but the album as a whole is quite enjoyable. David fingerpicks most of these tunes, breaking out the slide for two of the album's highlights, the title track and Blind Willie McTell's "Love Changing Blues." He also does a nice job with a somber and reflective reading of Elizabeth Cotten's "Shake Sugaree." Notice how the album cover is modeled after David's first solo album? Maybe this release will renew interest in the first album, and maybe someone will put that one back in print. If you're a Bromberg fan, I recommend this album without hesitation. If you're new to Bromberg, check out Midnight on the Water first.

Three long-awaited words: David Bromberg's back! Roots music fans will rejoice in the release of "Try Me One More Time," thefirst new CD in 17 years byguitarist/vocalist David Bromberg, a master practitioner of folk, blues,bluegrass and other musical genres. This new recording is undiluted David:one man, one acoustic guitar, and a repertoire of mostly traditionalmaterial performed with the intimate, assured touch of a musician who hasnothing to prove.Originally a "must-have" session man for everyone from Bob Dylan to Dionand subsequently a hard-touring bandleader and recording artist with anenthusiastic following, Bromberg gradually phased himself out of thecontinual record-tour-record cycle starting in 1980. "I got burned out," hereflects. "And I didn't want to be one of those musicians who ends up`phoning it in.' Music was too important to me to treat it that way."So he switched his focus from performing to studying, moving to Chicago in1980 to learn violin-making. Based in the Windy City until 2002, when hemoved to Delaware to open a violin shop, Bromberg has continued to tourperiodically, but has mostly stayed away from recording studios, with1990's "Sideman Serenade" his last album until now. On "Try Me One More Time," Bromberg harkens back to the acoustic folk andblues music of his early days on the mid-'60s Greenwich Village folk scene,a period when he guided the blind gospel-blues singer Reverend Gary Davisto concerts and churches in exchange for guitar lessons. Bromberg performstwo of "the Rev's" compositions on his new CD - "I Belong to the Band" and"Trying to Get Home" - as well as songs written by Robert Johnson,Elizabeth Cotton, Tommy Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, sometime Brombergemployer Bob Dylan ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh . . ."), and songs from thetraditional realm, including two exquisitely rendered instrumentals ("BuckDancer's Choice," "Hey Bub"). The title track is Bromberg's first recordingof a song he wrote more than 30 years ago. In liner notes as conversational as his distinctive, low-key vocals,Bromberg maintains that this CD is the first record he's made where he"wasn't trying to impress anybody . . . I'm just doing the tunes."Nonetheless, the outcome can't fail to delight listeners who appreciate anunderstated virtuoso playing and singing the music he loves.
A Gogo Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you have not seen Patty in Concert, please do so! I am a relocated New Englander that has been lucky enough to see her perform on 5 occasions. While I love her studio work I believe that her live performances are where she truly shines! This CD is like a cherished souvenier from her performance. This woman can send shivers up my spine. She can make you laugh, then have you on the brink of tears just minutes later. Just listen to her guitar work! I have not been able to figure out why Patty is not a Superstar. She can play circles around Bonnie Whatsername, and writes some of the most incisive lyrics I have ever heard. Six of the Fourteen cuts on this CD are from "Angels Running" which gets my vote as her best studio release. Listen to "Do Not Disturb" and "Who Holds Your Hand". Guaranteed to turn you into a Pathead! Love Yah Patty!

Scots Guards Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very good recent recording of the pipes and drums of the 1st battalion, the Scots Guards. The Scots Guards were the first Scots unit to tour the States in 1955, and thus made a very big impression. They were the main word in piping over here before the Black Watch took over the show! The Scots Guards have toured many times since, but unfortunately it has been a while since they have done so. Thats why its good to see a new CD by the pipes and drums which have also not recorded in a while. Under Pipe Major Macdonald, the band sounds very impressive. The playing is sharpe, and the selection of tunes is very good. The medleys are well arranged and played as only a top army pipe band can do. The listener might find it interesting to compare how the band sounds today with the older sounding recordings which are available here as well. Here one can discern that the style of playing has changed over the years. The older rope tension drums have been replaced by the newer Premier drums, which produce a very sharpe and less deep tone. Purists like myself prefer the older sound, as it is more martial in nature. The modern drums are almost jazzy, and do not belong in an army pipe band in my opinion. In years past the Scots Guards use to have two battalions, thus there were two pipe bands, which when combined produced an impressive sound. Today only the 1st battalion remains. Again, the older recordings will give the listener that opportunity to hear the massed pipes of the Scots Guards. The Scots Guards also use the standard double three beat intro for the drums in this CD, instead of the longer single five beat drum roll which normally introduces the pipes in the Scots Guards and Guards regiments as a whole. Its odd that they would do this, almost as if the style of playing was intended to be civilian-like for this CD, instead of more army style playing. Still, this is a most excellent CD which the discerning pipe listener should enjoy. The CD notes on the band and current Pipe major are also good. Recommended.

The Hard & The Easy Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For a longtime fan, The Hard and the Easy is quite a memorable feat. On the one hand, you could say Great Big Sea is playing to their strengths with an all-traditional album. But on the other hand, many of the songs here do not resemble anything they've ever done, even on traditional-heavy discs like the seminal UP or their eponymous debut.
Although they've always leaned heavily (and successfully) on folk sounds, The Hard and the Easy breaks new ground for the band by being their first entirely acoustic album. The songs are lean, quick and at times vaguely familiar. The informative liner notes give the history of each tune. . .a welcome education for us faraway fans who may never set foot on the isle of Newfoundland.
It's nice to see Bob Hallet getting a couple of tunes, and Sean McCann continues to improve at balladry, something he sometimes faltered at on Something Beautiful. His rendering of Graceful & Charming ranks with the band's best love songs.
But for the most part, The Hard and the Easy is about having fun. The expected seafaring tales are there, but there is also further exploration of Newfoundland history in songs like Concerning Charlie Horse and darkly funny Cod Liver Oil. The Mermaid is guaranteed to put a smile on your face; Captain Kidd, Old Polina and the bittersweet Harbour Lecou are destined to be classics.
I confess, I like GBS's original songs every bit as much as the traditional stuff. And UP is still the standard for providing a mix of the old and the new. Which is why I've given this release 4 instead of 5 stars. For other longtime fans, especially those who felt letdown by the more pop-oriented Something Beautiful, this album will be a 5-star one.
And by the way, if you're new to Great Big Sea, this is a fine introduction. . .but there are MANY more joys to be found in their catalog. I'd recommend you get 'em all.
One last note: The DVD included in this release is a nice bonus, mostly footage of the 3 guys playing and talking about their love of their homeland's culture. Best part: Singer Alan Doyle points out that The Hard and the Easy is perhaps the only album in history to include not one, but TWO songs about a horse falling through the ice! It's ultimately nothing groundbreaking, but fans will certainly appreciate it.

Includes bonus DVD -- an exclusive concert and conversation with the band!The Hard and The Easy is the ninth album from Great Big Sea, the Juno-nominated band that fuses Newfoundland traditional music with modern pop in a crowd-pleasing formula both heartfelt and vital. A pure force of nature - much like the ocean surge they take their name from - Great Big Sea's blend of instruments such as guitar, mandolin, bodhran, fiddle, and concertina, along with their vocal harmonies, revels in the melodies they create and the Newfoundland tunes they love. Their sound bellows joy. After almost thirteen years together, Great Big Sea is releasing a new kind of album, one that spans the spectrum of the Newfoundland songbook. This all-acoustic album of traditional and local songs is a first for singers and multi-instrumentalists Sean McCann, Alan Doyle, and Bob Hallett, but it's also a logical progression. Newfoundland music and Newfoundland culture are both their genesis and their raison d'etre.
The Weavers At Carnegie Hall Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was given this album in the late 1950s when a young teenager. Since then I of course became a Bob Dylan disciple, then became heavily addicted to the best British rock and pop music, through The Who, The Beatles, Kinks, Animals and all the other members of that extraordinary 1960s caravanserai.
And amidst all that was the explosion into my consciousness of great classical music, experienced through the likes of Oistrakh and Richter, Giulini and Klemperer, Schwarzkopf and Popp.
I still love ALL types of great music. And I still regularly return to The Weavers and still marvel at their art and their commitment. And of all their recordings I have heard since they first impinged on my young consciousness, this 1955 concert at Carnegie Hall is still the freshest, thumpingest, foot-stomping best. Buy it now. No matter what your age, it will enrich your musical life forever.

Best Of The Vanguard Years Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Almanac Singers of 1941-42 came first, and if you are reading this you ought to purchase the CD by them called "Songs of Protest." Pete Seeger and Lee Hays, who became half of "The Weavers" in 1949, were Almanacs. By the time they got into the later group, their voices and talents had matured and were in their prime. Add Ronnie Gilbert's lovely voice and Fred Hellerman's all-around musical gifts, and you had just about the only folkie supergroup of their era. The anti-Communist hysteria took The Weavers off the charts and off the mainstream Decca label after '52, which crippled the members financially. In the artistic sense, however, they only got better when they resurfaced in 1955 on Vanguard, mostly with live shows. This disc purports to be the "best" from a half-dozen Vanguard LP's from the late '50's and early 60's. Maybe it is. I think too many of the 24 are bland instead of bold, but that's just my personal preference. On this item, not much social protest is to be found---just "Sixteen Tons" and "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" and "If I Had a Hammer". I would have liked the inclusion of "Banks of Marble" among others. But that's really a small flaw. The Lee Hays bass vocals are here, and the Pete Seeger tenor, and Ronnie's alto. Good banjo and guitar, and as another reviewer noted, many live recordings, so they are not mucked up with strings and other unneeded orchestral flourishes. The Weavers kept the folk tradition alive and proved there was an audience, and in the late '50's we got The Kingston Trio and The Highwaymen and eventually Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs and so many other acts into the limelight because the Weavers were there first. This is a great introduction to American commercial folk performing: it won't scare anyone, but it might inspire a deeper search into other singers and songwriters, or even other Weavers' records, which have more political and social bite.

Red Horse Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Red Horse CD was just released, and thanks to Amazon's speedy delivery, arrived quickly. I have not been able to stop listening to it. Hearing John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky, and Eliza Gilkyson sing together is wonderful. There are 12 songs on this CD - three written by John, three by Lucy, three by Eliza, and three covers. They take turns singing lead on each other's songs, as well as their own, and breathe new life into many of these songs. They do an amazing job on Neil Young's "I Am a Child. Hearing Lucy on her song "Scorpion", with the two singing backup, just adds more zest to a powerful song. Hearing Eliza sing lead on Lucy's "Promise Me" just makes me play it over & over again. It's soulful and romantic, and reminds me to listen to my "Ten Year Night" CD again. I'd never heard the song "Coshieville" before, and John's voice and presentation just captivated me, and makes me want to discover more songs by Stuart McGregor. All twelve songs are beautifully presented and sung, and ending with a beautiful version of "Wayfaring Stranger" is like enjoying a delicious dessert after a great meal. I hope the three of you will tour in the Boston area because the collaboration is outstanding on CD, and will only sound better live! Thanks for this great recording.

Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky come together as Red Horse on this brand-new collaborative project from three of the most revered songwriters in folk music.Inspiring and paving the road for countless musicians and songwriters on the road today, having these three talents converge on one record is a folk fan's dream album.Red Horse's sparse instrumentation allows these three distinctive voices to carry the magic of the music that is awash in great harmonies and songwriting.Each of these legendary singer/songwriters solos on classics first made famous by the other two members.Lucy gives a haunting performance of Eliza's "Sanctuary," John takes the lead on Lucy's "Don't Mind Me" while Eliza performs John's "Forget to Breathe" which has never been released on Red House before.Red Horse showcases new material from all three, covers they have never before recorded as well as revisiting and rearranging a couple of early classics.Red Horse is the result of three veteran songwriters and good friends coming together to make music.With Red Horse Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, and Lucy Kaplansky give us a collection of songs that solidifies their place as three of folk music's great songwriters.

(More customer reviews)I loved listening to this album growing up and sitting here looking at the record jacket brings back a lot of memories. As another reviewer has stated, the Weavers get you up and singing, whatever your age. Their voices blend together so well, and their musicianship is excellent too. My personal favorites on this album are "Drill, ye Tarriers, Drill," "The Frozen Logger," "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore," and "The Wreck of the 'John B.'" Reissue this CD, O Record Company, so a new generation of fans can enjoy the melodies of the Weavers on tour.

3,000 Miles by Ellis Paul Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have mixed emotions about this dvd. Ellis Paul, in concert and giving guitar instruction, was excellent, even though for certain songs in the concert, the guitar sounded really out of tune, and I wish that the concert itself was longer. The interview was pretty good... felt a little awkward, as though they were trying to fill time. The road trip was ok... The main problem I have with this dvd is that it felt like it was "amature" day when it came to the technical quality of the dvd. The frequent camera changes durring the concert left one feeling a little dizzy at times. The audio level from one feature to the next were not the same, so one needs to be constantly adjusting the audio level as one plays the dvd. Very annoying when you have the volume up loud for a long section of the dvd, then it returns to the menu, and the introductory song blasts through the speakers... But for $20, especially when Ellis doesn't tour in a town near you, I recommened purchasing this dvd.

Kate Rusby - Live from Leeds (2004) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well, a very lovely concert it was, wasn't young Kate's, eh? I wish I could write with a Yorkshire accent.
A beautiful thing. The musicians are amazing. John McCusker must be some sort of genius. They all played so tightly with each other and Kate, I was reminded of the Chieftains. Let's wish these younger folks will have such an honored history to come.
Kate herself is sweet and a charmer. Quite an irresistable smile. She seemed a wee bit shy at times. Might be my imagination. Like Alison Krauss showed in her LIVE concert dvd, Kate has a nice sense of humor and likes to tease. I thought she sang beautifully throughout--particularly so in CANAAN'S LAND, WITHERED AND DIED and UNDERNEATH THE STARS. How could anyone in that lovely Leeds theatre be dry-eyed during that last song with the lights swirling star-like around? Kate also reminds me in an odd way of Kasey Chambers--her youth, her maturity, her love of traditional music and yet her independence in her musical vision. Quite two wonderful women.
Technically, the dvd was great. The concert was filmed simply and beautifully--must be digital video. I thought for a minute someone had snuck in a high-definition television when I saw the quality of the picture. Great coverage of the amazing musicians and good roving of the heterogeneous audience (old and very young--a great mix).
An essential for all fans of the great Kate and for anyone who loves traditional music and great women vocalists. And not to mention a wealth of fascinating bonus material on the dvd.

Tour '93: Melody, Rhythm and Harmony Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I believe this is nearly the same recording as the previously released album on Mesa Records entitled "Melody Rhythm and Harmony". The photo is exactly the same anyway, and it was recorded in Trondheim, Norway in March 1993. That album was TWO CDs, however and included 28 songs. I was fortunate enough to see a live concert in Los Angeles several years ago plus attend a lecture by conductor Dora Hristova on this style of music, and both were wonderful! I have never been so in awe of the power of the human voice. No recording could capture how rapturous and haunting these women sound in person, but this CD is as close as you can come. It far outranks the Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares volumes 1 and 2 CDs, since as noted here, those were not recorded terribly well (I believe they were compiled from tapes laid down in the 50s or 60s). So start with this one as the best possible introduction to the Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices.
