Cayamo Sessions at Sea

There may be an existing thread on this, but I’m happy to report I have bought the record and listened twice (thrice to a certain cut).

10-12 seconds of patter are left in in front of Lu’s cover of Parsons’ “Hickory Wind.” She says something close to “I didn’t realize we have the liberty of having of such wonderful players here. . . .” Among those is “Stewart (sic) Mathis” and also ‘Fats Kaplan” (sic–pretty sure it’s Kaplin, though I may be wrong). Perhaps the same people at New West who axed the likes of Chuck Prophet & Jon Dee Graham from the label’s roster of talent a few years back are now running the copy editing department. . . . Anyway, great Lu cover. I would also single out Lee Ann Womack’s rollicking “After the Fire is Gone” and E Cook’s “If Teardrops are Pennies.” Only two artists do their own songs, Kris K and the discovered-in-his-geriatric-years Doug Seegers. Every track has some merit. Go Buddy, go high seas!
