The Fire Next Time
The crowd, photographed by performer Chris Edwards: HAVING FUN! Then the Speckled Bird played through all seven songs from their new EP.This recording features lots of instruments that work well with the songs: guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, glockenspiel, cello, clarinet, slide guitar, accordion, and more. The sound recording and mixing are excellent, and the packaging of the EP is very attractive. I love the fact that it has all the lyrics, so I can enjoy the poetry of each song to the fullest. The musicality of the individual band members is evident, yet all parts contribute to a very fulfilling whole.
The t-shirt is pretty cool too!
I am waiting for my CD! How did you score the cool T shirt? I think you must be "with the band"

You can be with the band too, for only $10. :-) Hope you love the CD too, Janet! Hope you blog more, too; I miss it when you don't. (Like I should talk.)

You forgot to mention that one of the instruments on the EP is the rarely heard faux saw. You can hear it on "Match Made in Heaven."

I don't know how I did it but I ordered the wrong CD. So today I ordered the new one. We need to support the arts...
