MAZZACANE, LOREN & KATH BLOOM - Sing The Children Over

Warehouse find of original copies of this Mazzacane/Kath Bloom LP release from 1982. Liner notes by Nat Hentoff. Following retrospective comments by the LPs producer: "On first hearing Kath and Loren one is struck by the daring intimacy of their sound. Both on their early Daggett recordings, and live, I was moved by the rigor and bravery of the spiritual explorations they undertook in their music. While mining not unfamiliar tunes in the blues and folk idioms as well as lovely, spare originals, they, both in their own distinct ways, daringly stripped the music to some of its barest and most exquisitely aching elements. Together, they created a sound that while it echoed some of American musics oldest traditions was something resolutely new and original. After hearing Kath and Loren on their own home produced tapes, I wanted to capture some of that sublimity, that quiet intensity with more clarity. Thus inspired, my short lived label put out Sing the Children Over almost 20 years ago. I hope you agree this collection of traditional tunes and originals captures something special about American music and that it deserves a new audience." - Andy Breslau. Highly Recommended!!
