Press release: AMERICAN LULLABY (a folk treasury)

Album Review Tony Furtado and the American Gypsies Live Gypsy
Album Review - Tony Furtado and the American Gypsies - Live Gypsy By John Metzger There are so many ways that Live Gypsy could have gone wrong, but Tony Furtado deftly avoided all of the pitfalls...

AMERICAN LULLABY features Folk, Country, Gospel & Old-Timey Bedtime Songs. Beth Nielsen Chapman, David Grisman, Maria Muldaur, Sweet Honey in the Rock and others present a heirloom treasury of timeless tunes from America©ös past and present. More than just an anthology of children©ös sleepy-time tunes, this CD is a world-clbutt treasury of authentic American songwriting. It is perfect for children-holiday columns or any-time listening as these are tunes that have never "gone out of style."

Lyrics to "I've had every beer" tune of "I've been everywhere

From the calming vocal interplay of "Hush Lil Baby" by Grammy-winning a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock, to the gentle crooning of "Love Me Tender" sung by best-selling singer-songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman, these tender tunes are a treat not only for tots ready for sleep, for anyone looking for a moment of pure, perfect peace. These beautiful selections include "Prairie Lullaby" by gold-record recipient and iconic songstress Maria Muldaur ("Midnight at the Oasis"), "Cowgirl©ös Lullaby" by multi-Grammy winning folk-bluegrbutt duo Cathy & Marcy, and "Song for 2 Pamelas" by legendary mandolinist and "dawg music" afficianado David Grisman accompanied by award-winning flat-picking guitar maestro Tony Price.

Also featured are some unexpected delights like "Home on the Range" performed by folk icon (and 1975 National Yodeling Champion) Bill Staines, and "Resophonic Lullaby" played on old-timey Hawaiian steel guitar by The Moonlighters. Grammy-winning bluegrbutt singer-guitarist Kathy Kallick presents the Woody Guthrie staple, "Hobo©ös Lullaby," and champion fiddler Suzy Thompson notes that "I found ¨«Mama Loves©ö in Cecil Sharpe©ös English Folk-Sings from the Southern Appalachians...it©ös actually two lullabies combined."
