MUSIC FOR ADULTS

Roots of the Tree of Life - Kathy Torrey and Friends

This collection of chants, singing games, dances, lullabies, humorous ditties, and just downright singable songs celebrates something that is not as common as it once was in the lives of Americans - the joy of homemade music.

New Hampshire dance caller, Kathy Torrey, recorded the album a while back with the help of her young daughter, Linnet, and a handful of children and grown-ups singing and playing instruments (guitar, fiddle, keyboard, and pipes). The repertoire is traditional with a New England accent. Material is drawn from Anglo-Celtic, French Canadian, Native American and African American traditions.
While "Roots..." does provide a glimpse of the kind of home entertainment that was more prevalent before the advent of home entertainment centers there is nothing self consciously presented about it, Quite obviously this is music that Kathy has known and loved for a long time, an integral part of her life that has been passed on to her and which she has passionately shared with her daughter and others. This is a delightful family album bursting with vitality and conviction. Get it so that you and your kids can learn to sing "Tread on my corns and tell me lies but don't feed me dried apple pies."

It's Just a Dream

Kath Bloom - It's Just a Dream

"Kath's voice is urgent and yet calming - a call of reckoning" Nat Hentoff

Contains some of my favorite Bloom compositions. The sweeping "Love and Hate" beautifully evokes the struggles of migrant farm workers. "In Your School" has an unforgettable Sondheim-like quality and "Calling Your Name": with its half Mexican, half Celtic melody rollicks like the horse and rider that gallop through the lyrics. As a songwriter, Kath Bloom ranks with some of the best. - T.H.
