Date: Tue, 14 Apr 92 05:15:44 GMT

In your message in rec/folk/music you write: about the Clannad album "Anam":

-> I saw a tape of this album in the store the other day, had never heard of
-> it before. It's on Tara. There was no date on the outside of the package.
-> Anybody know whether this is a very new album or a very old one re-released?
-> Anybody heard it?

Well, I can help you with this one. I have Anam on CD and it is dated on
the year 1990 (the copyright). The pictures and the style of the songs are
very similar to those of the album sirius although in some way I like Anam
even more. I bought it in a normal CD-store in 1991 and this is not
possible in Germany with the older albums of clannad - especially not in a
normal store. The technical quality of the recording is fairly high, but
the arrangement are - from my point of view - slightly overloaded, Maire's
voice sound a bit sharp, especially when pronouncing the letter 's'.

Of course, if you prefer the original and more traditional Clannad albums
you are wrong here - they have changed quite a bit...but we have Altan 
as well, haven't we?

Here a the tracks:

1  ri na cruinne         - 3:58
2  anam                  - 4:00
3  in fortune's hand     - 3:52
4  the poison glen       - 3:51   (a great one!)
5  wilderness            - 2:04   (instrumental)
6  why worry             - 4:25
7  uirchill an chreagain - 4:18
8  love and affection    - 4:54
9  you're the one        - 3:52
10 dobhar                - 2:42   (instrumental)

Published by RCA / BMG Records (UK) PD 74762. I hope this is the number
which is important, there are some others on the booklet:-)

Hope, this information helps you.

Okay, here are the words I sing:

Come gather around and I'll tell you a story
of three merry gentlemen riding along
They met a fair maid and one to her did say
I'm afraid this cold morning will do you some harm

O no kind sir, you are quite mistaken
if you think this cold morning will do me some harm
There's one thing I crave, sir, it lies twixt your legs
If you'll give me that it will keep me warm

O then since you crave it my dear you shall have it
If you'll come with me to yonder green tree
O then since you crave it my dear you shall have it
and I'll make these gentlemen witness to be 

So the gentleman alighted and straigtway she mounted
and looking the gentleman hard in the face
Said you knew not my meaning, you wrong understood me
And away she went galloping down the long lane

O gentlemen lend me one of your horses
that I may ride after her down the long lane
If I overtake her I warrant I'll make her
Return unto me my own horse back again

But as soon as this fair maid she saw him coming
She instantly drew a pistol in hand
Saying Doubt not my will, sir, that you I might kill
I would have you stand back or you are a dead man

O why do you waste your time here talking
Why do you waste your time in vane
Come give her a guinea, 'tis what she deserves
And I warrant she'll give you your horse back again

O no, kind sir, you are vastly mistaken
If it is his loss, then it is my gain
And you are a witness that he give it to me
And away she went galloping over the plain


Yeah I know, verse four doesn't rhyme.  I think I learned it from one of
the Purcell books, _The Wanton Seed_ maybe, where it was titled "The Crafty
Maid's Policy".

   What is the "Richard Thompson is God" disease, and how would it apply
   to John Prine?  If Richard has indeed attained godhood, then he's
   done it through his guitar playing.  Prine's playing is workmanlike, but 
   hardly spectacular.  What am I missing here?

Seems to me that you're missing the fact that different people worship 
different things: some concentrate on guitar playing, others on lyrics, etc.
Judging from some of the audience interaction on _John Prine Live_, I'd
guess that a bunch of his fans worship substance abuse.

Anywhere we can write to let these folks know how stunning a host we think

something we might receive in my neck of the woods - or to hear him at all, for
that matter, since I have heard a great deal *of* him over the years, but have

"Jack Haggerty" is a true folk song, so you are likely to receive many
variations of the verses in question.  There is a recording of this song on
a truly wonderful recording by Touchstone called "The New Land," which is a
must-buy, assuming it's still in print.  I also found the lyrics in one of
my books; I think it's in Wm. Doerflinger's "Shantymen and Shantyboys,"
which was re-issued with a different title.

While I worked on the river I earned quite a stake 
I was steadfast and steady and ne'er played the rake
By camp flat and river I'm very well known
And they call me Jack Haggerty, I'm the pride of the town.

'till she wrote me a letter, which I did receive
and she said from her promise herself she'd relieve
For to wed with another she'd a long time delayed
And the next time I'd see her she'd no more be a maid.

Date: 9 Apr 92 19:09:07 GMT
Organization: Michigan State University, East Lansing

Several folks who don't hang out in record stores every day had asked 
over the last few months if the new Michelle Shocked album "Arkansas 
Traveller" was out yet.  At last, the answer is "Yes!".

I'll attempt a real review later, but on a handful of plays I am 
*very* enthusiastic about this album; it's a return to the folkier styles
of "Short Sharp Shocked" after the disappointment of "Captain Swing".

In the meantime, if any of our UK correspondents would let me know of
any CD singles with the inevitable unreleased B-sides, I'd sure 
appreciate it.   Thanks!   (In the US, one promo item I have seen is a 
box of cornflakes with Ms. Shocked's picture on the box, and a cassette
inside...)

The folks at Elderly Instruments (see prior article re: Clannad for raves
about this mail-order music place) had it for $17 and change, and suggested
that it was in fact a foreign-release import, that would soon be coming out
on a domestic label. I decided to wait too.

Strange contradiction, though: they said it was on TARA, which might be an
import label as far as I know--but other Clannad CDs from TARA are in
Elderly's usual $12.50 or $13.25 categories. Any ideas as to why the higher
price for the newer album?

a general information number.

Folks, this man could not be more correct.  This is a fine event, and is quite
accessible.  Not only that, but Oberlin (incidentally, my alma mater) is a
lovely place and has ample facilities for the event.  However, get into the
chinese restaurants early, as they get quite crowded at games time.  I know, as
I have not missed a games in 4 years running!  If you need tips on how to have

LEGEND is not the soundtrack for the movie of the same title, but for the
British TV series ROBIN OF SHERWOOD.

THE COLLECTION and PASTPRESENT are collections of previous material.

RING OF GOLD is of early live concert material, most likely from the same
Irish Folk Festival concerts, other recordings from which I've listed below.

Their first album, CLANNAD, is not currently available on CD.

They also appear on a spoken-word CD called THE ANGEL AND THE SOLDIER BOY,
for which they provide the music. This I don't have a copy of.

   I am doing a Folk Music Show on Wed. April 15th and would like to
   know if you know of any songs about taxes or paying taxes or not
   paying taxes.  I would like the name of the singer and the album it
   is on, if possible.  Thanks!        Carol


Billy Edd Wheeler did a great song about taxes in the early '60s.  
I _think_ "Taxes" was the title.  Sorry, I don't have a songbook 
or recording.
