Editorial Reviews
the folknik: newsletter of the San Francisco Folk Music Club
It was a pleasure to discover this grassroots performer with a keen historical consciousness and a wonderfully appealing musical style.
Product Description
Over an hour of woman-positive acoustic music, plus 16-page booklet containing lyrics and historical notes!
Most of the songs I grew up singing, or heard at folk festivals, had negative images of women...murder ballads, songs of unrequited love and downtrodden wives. Though such songs are a valid part of the tradition, they must be balanced with other views so we can fully appreciate and understand woman's role in history.
I began searching for what I describe as “woman-positive” songs in 1982, and in 1984 recorded an album called WOMANSONG. A second volume, PRINCE CHARMING DOESN'T LIVE HERE, followed in 1991. THE WOMANSONG COLLECTION CD features a wide selection of favorites from both albums, digitally remastered, plus two new songs. They range from traditional and early composed songs, to my own originals.
--------------------------------------- Musicians: Gerri Gribi - Lead vocals, guitar, autoharp, mountain dulcimer Fawn Kehl and Kris Grimes of “Northern Light” - Backup vocals and bass Lee Nichols and Jim Kraemer of “Random Orbit” - Back-up vocals, bass and guitar Brian “Smokey” Christianson - Fiddle
