Linda Clifford - Songscape (2000)

Here is a collection of 10 original songs: Songs from the heart, the soul and the funny bone: songs of true love, mad love and 'what-a-cad' love. There are songs about a cat, a whale and a Mockingbird. Then there's the one about the meat-eating 'animal lover' that Rush Limbaugh loved and played on his show. (Apparently he didn't get the irony!) Songs may be playful or plaintive, airy or earthy, but all are beautifully crafted and performed with harmonies and accompaniment of guitar, bass, violin, cello, resophonic guitar, harmonica and Irish whistle. There's even a tuba on one song! 'So put on your travelin' shoes and enter the capacious Clifford 'Songscape'!' Eric von Schmidt, Grammy-winning folk legend.
