Troubadour [Audio CD] Long, Larry

Description

To talk about a troubadour on the road is to talk about a poetry * of institutions and patronage — a poetry rooted in the earth rather than suspended by lofty abstractions — a poetry that could turn the social order on its head and get a way with it because the poet could also play the clown. . . . In the road we find the connection between generations of troubadours, medieval and modern. –Madonna Hettinger, from her liner notes Guitarists Sid Gasner and Melvin James; saxophonist Bob Rockwell; bassist Billy Peterson and special guest Leo Kottke (slide guitar on “Catfish Rag”) join folksinger/songwriter Larry Long on an album of mostly original songs.
