| | Julie Henigan American Stranger CD Julie Henigan Discography of CDs
Recorded in St. Louis, Missouri between 1992 and 1997 and London, England in November, 1992.
Using five-string banjo, mountain dulcimer, and DADGAD-tuned guitar, Julie Henigan injects a good deal of Appalachian spirit into songs of mostly British and Celtic origin, as well as a few originals. Utilizing a versatile singing voice that falls somewhere between Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Natalie Merchant, Henigan adds an element of mystery to tracks like the eerie mountain dulcimer tune "The Cowboy's Girl" and the haunting title track. A massive talent, Henigan's intricate performances on five-string banjo, as on the original instrumental "Hanover," and on guitar, as in the DADGAD-tuned "Hoban's Hill," show an impressive level of accomplishment. The ghostly victim's lament in "The Hare's Dream" and the picturesque "Green Grows the Laurel" reveal a depth found all too lacking in most contemporary folk. The Irish Gaelic "Thug Me Ruide," sung in sean-nos style, is further proof of Henigan's diverse talents. In short, American Stranger is the type of authentic traditional folk album that just isn't made all too often anymore and warrants much more than a passing listen. ~ Matt Fink
singer/songwriter's vocals are a stunning blend of the best of both American & Irish folk traditions (her voice has been compared to the sound of a French horn); she also plays guitar, banjo, dulcimer & fiddle
Personnel: Julie Henigan (vocals, guitar, mountain dulcimer, 5-string banjo).
Engineers include: Paul Stamler.

American Stranger songs
$14.19
(Top Ten on New Age Reporter.com. Top Twenty radio.) \"Sub-Conscious\", the new album from Chris Field, is a surprisingly unique offering from an artist who is new to my ears. I\'m not sure where to begin. How do you explain beautiful complexity? How can you put into words a musical style that you have never heard before? I will start by saying that Sub-Conscious is a powerful and haunting collection of eight stellar tracks, all of which flow together seamlessly and leave the listener moved.Sub-Conscious is a great example of the kind of music you have heard from X-Ray Dog, Immediate Music, and ES Posthumus. On a first listen, it is obvious that Field\'s sound is beautiful and catchy. But the more you listen to it, the more you begin to understand the subtleties of his orchestral arrangements, and the intricacies of the string and vocal melodies, and the odd time signatures which define Field\'s style.You\'ve heard Chris Field\'s music in the trailers for dozens of first rate Hollywood productions, from Steven Spielberg\'s War of the Worlds to Gore Verbinski\'s Pirates of the Caribbean. One of Field\'s most popular works is \"Gothic Power\" which has been featured extensively to advertise The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Field is one of the most experienced and well known movie trailer composers today.Chris Field\'s talent for symphonic orchestration has made him one of today\'s forerunners in cinematic, new age, and world music. Sub-Conscious hypnotically undulates on the borders of many different film styles. Many of the tracks are poignant pieces which seduce the listener. Although the songs on Sub-Conscious could be used in a film, their construction is intentionally build to satisfy an album format. And that is why it succeeds.Christopher Field is a master at understanding musical intangibles. He understands that music is as much about emotional catalysts as it is about theory. Listening to Sub-Conscious, it is obvious that he knows which keys, melodies, arrangements, and voicing pull the listener in a certain emotional direction.On a first listen, you are mostly surprised by the individuality of Field\'s music. The first track, \"Floating\", begins with a lush layer of strings, and then introduces one of the main themes of Chris Field music: the relationship ...
| | London, Simon & Spirits Simon London & The Spirits CD (2005) (Import)
American Stranger album
$14.85
Originating from the south-west coast of Western Australia, Simon London's musical direction has been forged on the same hard-earned turf as some of Australia's most successful independent roots musicians. With his band the Spirits, he's travelling and playing the same circuit that brought revered acts like the Waifs and the John Butler Trio into our consciousness. His latest offering - 'Simon London + the Spirits' is further testament to the exciting groundswell of roots-inspired music emanating from this fertile south-western corner.Since the release of band's self-titled debut album in 2004, Simon London + the Spirits have been making strong impressions on the nations' music industry and music appreciators alike. Critics have been quick to praise both the recordings and live shows, radio has supported the album's singles with airplay around the nation and the band's live show, toured from west to east, continues to leave a groundswell of believers in its wake.Either performing solo or with his band, London has supported ...
