     (*Being a little intimidated by the full Bristol Sessions for now, I
was happy to come across this single cd release! How amazing it must have
been to records many of these performers for the first time (along with in
Knoxville etc.) with so many variant styles, approaches and textures.*)

     (*I had lost track of this June Tabor release and then it popped up
(ha, ha, a "to listen to soon stack got too tall and fell over!). I usually
love her cds, but I was not crazy about this one, then this classic version
of Eric's song came on at the end. What a treasure both have been. Liz
sings one of my favorite Lucinda songs. Cranked That up. David Stoddard
with another fine album, this piece is a rag. I had forgotten how good
David Qualey's album is. It came out around when I started. How we looked
forward to those Windham Hill releases. Apparently his only US release*.)

*Neal & Leandra*,Old Love,*Old Love*,1992,Uncle Gus Music,
      (*Fun to find this early album from Neal Hagberg & Leandra Peak. Neal
was quietly a wonderful songwriter and Leandra of course sang so
beautifully. Very much enjoying Doug's album so far. Maria was a fixture on
the Boston folk scene for a bit. It took a while to gather her albums for
children, but that music is also very good. Rounder reissued Keith
Whitley's 1982 trad country album with extra unissued tracks enhanced by
Alison Krauss and others. There are some gems.*)

     (*The loss of Gabe Hirshfeld, banjo player and expert, humorist and
friend to all including shy newcomers like he once was, knocked the
bluegrasss and Boston folk world sideways. The outpouring of love, grief
and stories was powerful. You can hear his work as a founder of The Lonely
Heartstring Band. This EP is mostly great versions of Beatles songs.*)

     (*This one is fun for me. I played Cree drummers last year. This album
was inspired by the documentary on Redbone and the other American Indian
rock performers and trying to meld rock and traditional sounds. Nina Gerber
with another fine album. Pat picked some less well known Phil Ochs' songs
and Knock on the Door is sadly much more immediately relevant than in
Phil's day. Phil wrote several powerful, pull no punches songs about our
willingness to force other countries to heel. This is one. In Concert may
not have Really been in concert, but it is chock full of great songs*.)
