Hello, in the latest newsletter from Richard, he says not only that there's a new album of material, but one of re-recorded older songs. Has he said anything else about this album in concert? I sure hope he re-records the slower version of Beyond The Iron Gate, since I prefer that arrangement to the album version we have. The slower version is in a lower key, B instead of D, and is more beautiful, I think. He could record it with just voice and one guitar, and it would be just fine.

I'm just hoping that some of the old warhorses stayed on the shelf for this project, including the ones already re-recorded for "Courier" or the ones that seem to show up on most set-lists. You know, like "Arrowhead," "Next Best Western," "Summer Wind, Cotton Dress" and of course "Are You Happy Now." Give me "Ascent" or "TV Light" or "I Saw My Youth Today" or "Waiting for the Storm" or "Whippoorwill" or others that don't get as much play, like some of the songs from "Not Far Now." I'll love the project no matter what, but now that I don't get to see Richard anymore, I'm more desperate for stuff I haven't heard dozens of times.

I'd hope for some of the covers he used to do in the old days that never made it to vinyl (or whatever the kids are calling it these days). He had a couple of Irish ballads like "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore" or better yet one I think was called "The Shores of Ponchatrain" (sp). I loved his Nancy Griffith cover, "Once in a Very Blue Moon" and even the Dolly Parton cover "Making Plans". I'm going to disagree with Ron and say I wouldn't mind hearing "Next Best Western" *if* it got the "unplugged" treatment. I prefer that one with just RS and his guitar -- no backing instruments. Actually, I'd probably want the whole thing "unplugged". With some notable exceptions -- like the song Sparrow's Point which has some of the most haunting instrumentation of any RS song -- I prefer the man with just his gee-tar. But, I'm probably take what I can get. .....Carol On Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 4:35 PM, wrote: > I'm just hoping that some of the old warhorses stayed on the shelf for this > project, including the ones already re-recorded for "Courier" or the ones > that > seem to show up on most set-lists.
