I've posted this to a few places already, so forgive me if you've already seen it, but I wanted to let people know about this. Tracy Grammer has a new 7-song EP out, her first release since Dave Carter's death 2 years ago. The EP is called Verdant Mile and features her first self-penned song along with a bunch of covers and a great set of fiddle tunes. Her voice sounds gorgeous, and the accompaniment by fellow Signature Sounds artist Jim Henry is wonderful. This EP will not be sold in stores, just online and at shows. I would venture to say that even if you were never a fan of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer as a duo (and especially if you were), you will like this one if you are into female singer-songwriter stuff. I've included the official blurb about it and track list from her web site below. You can order it from there, it's $10. http://www.tracygrammer.com or http://daveandtracy.globalhosting.com/verdantmile.php :) Jess ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This acoustic project was recorded live in an Oregon studio over two days in early June. The exception is the fiddle medley, which was arranged over the phone and recorded on opposite coasts. These songs are postcards from various points along the Verdant Mile, a mythical field I walk when I need to reconcile with the rivers I cannot turn, the birds that won't come, and my reluctant angels... TRACKS: 1. the verdant mile (grammer) 2. this dirty little town (kieran kane) 3. wasn't born to follow (carole king/gerry goffin) 4. solitary man (neil diamond) 5. when i reach the place i'm goin' (emory gordy jr/joe henry) 6. jackson's tune/trickster tale/st. anne's reel (grammer/unk/trad; arr grammer & henry) 7. old paint (trad arr grammer) produced by tracy grammer & jim henry tracy grammer: guitar, mandola, violin, vocals jim henry: mandolin, mandola, dobro, vocals The long-awaited, much-anticipated studio album of previously unrecorded Dave Carter songs will come out sometime in 2005. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2004 13:29:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Joe Herrick Subject: Re: little-wings: kris' guitar Hi Anna, I don't have specifics, but I'm pretty sure the guitar she uses on tour is a Fender. I asked her about it a couple years ago, and she hasn't changed, as far as I know. - --- Anna wrote: > hi you smart folks out there, > does anyone know what kind of guitar (specifics > would be great) kris plays on tour/recordings, etc? > thanks, > anna > New and Improved Yahoo!
