Songs of Doc Jensen. "Dr. Henry W. Jensen was the first and greatest influence in my life and career. Every time I start to write a poem or a song I imagine myself listening to Doc, asking myself if this is the way Doc would have done it. The old no-name, cheap guitar you hear him playing on this CD is the same one I heard back then. Now, 30 years after his death, Lucy Herrin Faile has passed the guitar on to me. And, with help from Fran Moffitt Whitfield, we're trying to find a home for it. Every penny made from the sale of this CD goes toward that goal. I hope you enjoy Doc's songs and his singing, and if you feel like it, please send a contribution to Warren Wilson College to honor Doc and his old guitar." --Billy Edd Wheeler. The songs include: Gunnertown, Me and My Dog, Blue Mountains, Bear Tale, Winter Lullaby, All is Still, Lonesome Mountain, Bee Tree Ring, Song of the South Toe, Lost Melody, Night Look Down Between the Stars, Whippoorwill Lullaby. Sagittarius Records. 2008. |
