| The News that's Fit to Sing
pays affectionate tribute to the singer/songwriter albums of the '60s,
especially Phil Ochs' All the News that's Fit to Sing. It offers an
acoustic broadside of sports, local news, obituaries, birth announcements,
editorials, and national and international stories. |
 |
Other fine musicians appear, including Richard Sleigh (Mary Chapin
Carpenter) on harmonica and Elliott Levin on sax and flute (Cecil Taylor,
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes).
Lyra Project's
Rick Denzien
appears as recording engineer for several selections which included sax,
flute and Ellen Tepper on harp.
The amazing Bill Wolf did the mastering.
Graphics whiz Browning Porter created packaging as essential to the project
as liner notes were for the records to which this CD pays homage. |
Produced by Gene Goldsmith
(Pat Wictor, Heaven is So High), the CD features many great musicians.
Jen Schonwald, of the Angel Band and the angel voice, adds harmonies.
Cheryl Prashker, the beating heart of folk music (Jonathan Edwards, Pat Wictor, Full
Frontal Folk), supplies percussion. |
Rob Lincoln, writing for cdreviewsonline.com, describes the record as a
collection of, "Thoughtful and powerful songs that speak to the past, present &
future." The work of my songwriting heroes gave me truth I could sing along to
and news that never grows old. That’s exactly what I’ve tried to do with The
News That’s Fit to Sing.
