Robert Brereton: Buy

Someone to Watch Over Me

When most people think of the mountain dulcimer (assuming they even know what a mountain dulcimer is), their thoughts turn to the wonderul, plaintive music of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Although there are remnants of this style on this recording, much of this groundbreaking album concentrates on expanding the repertoire of this inconspicuous and misunderstood instrument beyond what many though possible. On "Someone to Watch", you'll hear many genres of music including the jazz standards of Duke Ellington and George Gershwin as well as Celtic, classical, and more.

I hope you enjoy "Someone to Watch Over Me".

who have taught at Redwood Dulcimer Day to date.

This remarkable fretted dulcimer recording features ragtime, old time, Irish,

Scottish, Israeli, and Brazilian music. There are dance tunes from the

French countryside, the English Renaissance, Appalachia, and the Shetland Islands.

There are cool new compositions with inflections of Native American, Scandinavian,

Baroque and Cowboy music, not to mention a little Joni Mitchell vibe.

Whether you fancy elegant finger-style or crazy-good flat-picking, this CD has it,

and there is even a little “slide” dulcimer! You will hear some of the best tracks

off of previously released solo albums (some out-of-print or hard to find),

as well as several new stellar tracks recorded just for this CD.

Enjoy over an hour of tasty dulcimer treats! Plus many of the tunes feature

guest artists on other instruments, ranging from cello to melodeon,

English horn, electric guitar, nyckelharpa, whistle, harp, hammered dulcimer,

guitar, flute and more.

The CD has been meticulously mastered by Barry Phillips and showcases

the beautiful art and graphic design of Wayne Jiang.
