A collection of special songs that look at the world through non-human eyes. Gordon is joined on this recording by the Quasimodal Chorus, Carol Rohl, Kat Logan, and others. "After 70 years of staving around this kind land, I know our homeland is never going to survive our sojourn here if we don't learn to hear with other ears, look through other eyes." - Gordon Bok

[Notes]
We waited a long time for Gordon to make a recording that featured Carol Rohl on harp. Well worth the wait, this eclectic collection of traditional and contemporary music celebrates Maine musicians with The Quasimodal Chorus, The January Men (And Then Some), The Small World Orchestra, and of course Gordon and Carol with those delightful South American tunes arranged for guitar and harp. If you've heard Gordon and Carol in concert, this is the one you're looking for.

[Notes]
This recording of Folk-Legacy's flagship trio took place over two nights at the Coffeehouse Extempore in Minneapolis. Performing both new and traditional songs, the set offers a strong survey of Bok, Muir, and Trickett's musicianship with a wide range of instrumentation, including twelve-string guitar, flute, harp, whistle, hammer dulcimer, and cellamba - a fretted, six-string cello created by Bok. On occasion, they are also joined by a 400 voice choir.

[Notes]
This is the second incarnation of the Golden Ring, a group of folk performers that originally gathered at the Fox Hollow Festival in the early 1960's, and contributed to the 1964 release A Gathering of Friends for Making Music, one of the most influential recordings of the Folk-Legacy label. Comprised of more than twenty-five musicians, The New Golden Ring presents warm and full-sounding renditions of traditional Anglo-American folk songs, played out of a deep love for tradition and the performance of music as a communal act. Among those heard with The New Golden Ring are Folk-Legacy founders Sandy and Caroline Paton, and frequent Folk-Legacy contributors Joe Hickerson, Ed Trickett, and Howie Mitchell.
