Downloaded Albums
After Dancing Cat Productions (in their guise of Eagle’s Whistle Records) relinquished all rights back to me in 2022 I took control of releasing albums in the new world of downloads. I had been recording a considerable number of songs – still with Dan De La Isla – and we were able to produce new releases every few months, instead of the several year interval heretofore. We still haven’t worked out all the details of the new format, including any remuneration, if any, but I am heartened by the reaction.
In July, 2022, I released a single, “On January 6th They Came,” a dramatic solo work, commemorating the infamous attempted overthrow of the United States by forces instigated by the losing candidate for president.
I released this single, “The Leaving of Afghanistan,” based on the traditional English farewell song, “The Leaving of Liverpool,” in September, 2022. It was dedicated to all the NATO forces forced to abandon their allies as they were driven from the country by the Taliban.
In June, 2022, I released “Polly Dang Doodle,” and launched into the new era of self-produced albums.
The second album, in July, 2022, was “Punkin’ Pie.” [The first tune, “Ground Hog,” has the line “Here come Sal with a snigger and a grin…” which some bot evidently didn’t understand so it was designated an “Age-restricted video.” It’s Not.] 😉
The third album, The Blue Goose,” dropped in September, 2022.
December, 2022, saw the release of “Moonshiner.”
The fifth album, “Old Paint,” featuring two different songs about the titular horse, was released in January, 2023.
Album six, “Juba,” was released in March, 2023.
