DESCRIPTION
Four Directions is a double CD, with one album of brand-new original
instrumental pieces for banjo, nylon, steel and twelve string guitars, and
piano. Chico Schwall, a talented multi-instrumentalist from Eugene, Oregon,
adds harmonica, fiddle, and mandolin parts.
The other album consist of 12 songs, written over a 40 year period. Dick
sings eight of the songs, and Mary Flower, Tom May, Dan McIlhenny and Anne
Weiss sings the others. Noah Peterson plays alto and soprano sax and
rub-board. The Robert Zimmerman Memorial Choir assist on Dick's So Much
Dylan, a "tribute," to Bob. The subject matter of the songs ranges from
songs about various people and places to two songs commissioned by the Oil,
Coke, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union.
The last track of each CD consists of humorous or informative stories
about the recorded tunes, done in much the way Dick performs them at shows.
