About Banjoman: Tribute To Derroll Adam
Product Description Not as famous as he should be, Derroll was a contemporary of Woody Guthrie. He was a singer/songwriter who could make magic on the 5 string banjo. In the mid-1950s he and Ramblin' Jack Elliott headed to Europe. They busked around, made some records and become an important part of the British folk scene. Jack returned to the USA but Derroll stayed on permanently in Europe until his death in 2000 at age 75. He influenced a whole generation of musicians on both sides of the Atlantic. This tribute was lovingly put together by a few of those artists from both sides of the Atlantic to a man they considered a genius, a mentor, and a friend. A 62 page booklet comes with the cd and includes Derroll's life story, photos, reproductions of his artwork, lyrics, more. Review " Derroll's original songs, traditional folk and early country songs and tribute songs written in Derroll's honor and memory." -- Sing Out!, USA, Winter 200 "the words and music lap up into consciousness in rhythmic, steady waves. This tribute CD is a absolute showstopper." -- Dirty Linen, USA, Feb/March 2003 "very good... more coherent than might be expected from such a disparate bunch of musicians... brings Derroll vividly to mind. -- Folk Roots, UK, December 2002
