Neither album is at all like the tradional style used on his album with 
Andy Irvine (I have not heard "Welcome Here Kind Stranger", but I suspect 
it is in the same vain as the AI/PB album.)  "Trick or Treat" was strictly 
middle of the road pop and, IMHO, worthless.  On the other hand I picked 
up "Songs and Crazy Dreams"  the other week and was pleasantly surprised.  
This appears to be a compilation from several albums recorded in the 80's 
as he moved away from the traditional style.  All but one are original 
compositions,  and reasonably mainstream.  The good news here is that there 
is still enough of life in the arrangements and singing that they don't 
suffer from the sterility to which "ToT" fell prey.  The centerpiece of the 
album, in my opinion, is the one traditional tune he does, "Homes of 
Donegal".  It's worth the price alone.  The most obvious comparison is to 
Van Morrison.  I had read seen this comparison in print but did not see any 
reason for it 'til I heard this album.  Don't expect the old Paul Brady, 
there isn't enough of the great guitar work of his traditional days (check 
out "Arthur Mcbride" on the above mentioned AI/PB album from Green Linnet -- 
Bob Dylan could not come close on his recent go at it), and a few of the 
songs are merely pleasant, but this cd was a happy find for me. 


Enjoy,

Does anyone know when or if "Delerium" is ever going to be released
in the US?  How 'bout Canada?  Last year I caught Manus Lunny at a
show he was doing with Andy Stewart (at McCabe's in Santa Monica, 
California) and he said they didn't want to release it through
Green Linnet and were looking for a deal with a major label.

Has Cappercaile released anything since "Delerium"?  Do they
have any plans to tour the states? Probably not 'til the album
is released here.

They have actually had three releases. The first, imaginatively entitled
"Didjeridoo and Guitar" was only ever available on cassette as far as I
know. If you ever want to see them live, they can frequently be seen
busking around the Covent Garden area in London. Definitely worth
looking out for.

Since I received two requests for more information,
one here and one by Email, it follows:

Rosie's first album is "Rosie Flores," Reprise 256264,
which was released in 1987. The songs include:

Crying over You
Midnight to Midnight
Lovin' in Vain
God May Forgive You (But I Won't)
Heart Beats to a Different Drum
The Blue Side of Town
Somebody Loses, Somebody Wins
Heartbreak Train
Turn Around

Rosie's second album is "After the Farm" on Hightone
Records (in Oakland). I don't have it yet so I can't
give more details. It is listed in the Elderly Instruments
catalog.

Rosie announced from the stage that she has a third album
coming out in June, presumably on Hightone.

DC Radio Stinks Big Time

I still support WAMU but only because they are the only station which
carries the Thistle and Shamrock. I thought Mr. Dempsey's program was
great when he stuck to folk music but had a tendency to play a bit
more bluegrass than I care for personally. Steve Palmer wants to be
another DC Know-It-All-News bigshot. The WAMU news staff are all full
of themselves. One only has to listen to their editorials to see that.

Due to the complete lack of decent radio stations in DC I subscribed
to the Digital Music Express service being carried by Montgomery
Cable. One channel which prompted me to subscribe to the service was
the "World Beat" channel. I had hopes of hearing folk music from
around the world. While I enjoyed the african music they played on the
channel 98% of the time I longed to hear folk music from the world.
January 12 they dropped the World Beat  channel and replaced it with
an R&B channel. 

You would think the Capitol of the "Free World" have some sort of
cultural diversity on the radio waves.

I heard parts of "The Art of the Bawdy Song" just the other day
on the radio.  There's a show called something like "Classical
Music Countdown" on public radio (I'm not sure if it's National
or American Public Radio), that plays excerpts of the previous
week's top 25 classical albums according to _Billboard_ magazine.
Last weekend's show had a rarity: the first classical music album
(or at least the first one on the charts) to feature a parental
warning label.  The album was "The Art of the Bawdy Song".  Folkies
should note that the singing, at least of the parts that were
excerpted on the show, is strictly of the classically-trained-voice
type favored in classical music circles, and that the music is
essentially Medieval and Renaissance performed in that classical
style rather than in the more natural voice that folk musicians
would tend to use.

Well, John, you can find a waltz-time (?!) version of "From a
Distance" on "Word of Mouth" by The House Band (available from 
Green Linnet Records). Actually, one of the better versions, IMHO,
but it's a case of an OK song being sung to death. (Jeez, it'll
probably show up on the next Dougie MacLean album. sigh.) I rather
prefer Gold's "Southbound Train" on the "When October Goes"
compilation (Rounder Records).

I agree.  I saw her at the Birchmere on the On a Winter's Night tour

Greg Brown spends most of his time around Iowa City.  Which is about as

When I sing it, I pronounce "stabbed" with two syllables.  It scans
