Find My Way Back

About the Artist
While there are plenty of great guitar pickers in Nashville, Tim May adds great songwriting and singing to his list of many talents (which include being equally adept at resonator guitar, banjo, bass, and mandolin). On his solo CD, Find My Way Back, all of Tim's various talents are featured. One only needs to listen to the first cut, "The Sun Won't Shine on Virginia" to know that Tim has the ability to write a bluegrass "hit" and the voice to carry it up the charts. Find My Way Back provides a perfect blend of original songs and traditional tunes. Tim's new songs include "The Sun Won't Shine on Virginia," "Worries and Troubles are Mine," "I've Got A Feeling," "Find My Way Back." He also includes an original instrumental guitar solo piece called "Miss Nari." The traditional tunes include favorite bluegrass barnburners "Bill Cheatham," (where Tim really shows us his instrumental prowess by playing guitar, banjo, Dobro, mandolin, and bass!) and "Paddy on the Turnpike," (a duet with Tim on guitar and his wife Gretchen Priest-May on fiddle). Other instrumentals include a swinging version of "Limehouse Blues" and haunting arrangements of "The Streets of Laredo" and "Down By the Sally Garden." Rounding out the field is a vocal standard "Sitting On Top of the World." Joining Tim on this project are a stellar line up of singers and instrumentalists. His old Crucial Smith bandmates, Kyle Wood (mandolin), Chris Joslin (Dobro, banjo), Gretchen Priest-May (fiddle), and Dave Holliday (bass) are on board to provide their instrumental talents and vocal harmonies. Additionally, other of Tim's Nashville picking buddies led a hand on a song or two. These include Brian Christianson (fiddle), Stephen Mougin (mandolin), Mark Holliday (tenor vocal), All Groll (Dobro), Fred Carpenter (fiddle), Tony Wray (banjo), David Harvey (mandolin), and Todd Cook (bass). Pick up Find My Way Back and you'll know why folks like Charlie Daniels and Patty Loveless are calling Tim May when they need someone to pick and sing bluegrass music with them on their recordings and in their band.

Great for home and classroom.......1999-03-21

No other composer so closely kept his fingers on the pulse of American thinking and gave the country so much of what it thought it wanted. "Yiddle on Your Fiddle" tells us more of the second-generation immigrants' desire to become Americanized than all the history and sociology books can ever do. So it is a double pleasure to announce the appearance of "Come on and Hear!: Early Songs by Irving Berlin, 1909-1915" and "Keep on Smiling: Songs by Irving Berlin, 1915-1918," two fantastic CDs or tapes on Oaktown label and released through a friendly little Connecticut company calling itself Original Cast Records. Between the two sets, you have 41 tracks of the Berlin output from "Everybody's Doing It Now" to "We're on Our Way to France." The soloist is Benjamin Sears, who with pianist Bradford Conner has something of a reputation around the Boston area. Now some of this material is duplicated by the more widely known Joan Morrison on two RCA Victor releases, possibly out of print by now; and like those discs could use another voice now and then. (Conner does join in where a duet is called for, but my point remains.) Sears is a capable if not an outstanding baritone, who does justice to these historic expressions of Americana. So not only do I recommend both of these sets for their enjoyment value, but I wish to continue to point out to Social Studies teachers how valuable sets like this would be to classes who have no concept of how people really felt (as opposed to what they merely said and did) "way back when." And I might even stick out my neck so far as to offer to come to any school (in reasonable distance of where I live) to give a sample lesson on how these sets can be used.

Customer Reviews:

the lovely Julian Slade musical in all it's glory.......2003-10-18

SALAD DAYS was one of the longest-running musicals in London in the 1950s, featuring a lovely score by Julian Slade. The fanciful plot involves Timothy and Jane, who have just graduated from university before getting married. On a balmy summer's day, they meet an old man in the park who owns a magical piano that makes everyone dance. The old man says they may borrow the piano for 1 month and then bring it back. However, things hardly go as planned. Jane and Tim enjoy an eventful summer full of love and heartache, before the story rushes to it's inevitable happy ending.

This cast album features members from the acclaimed 1982 London revival of SALAD DAYS, with Julian Slade himself playing one of the pianos featured on the recording. Christina Matthews offers up a thrilling soprano voice as Jane and sings two of the score's choice numbers, "I Sit in the Sun" and "The Time of My Life".

Adam Bareham is good in the role of Tim, and sings wonderfully in "We Said We Wouldn't Look Back" and "The Saucer Song". Sheila Steafel is excellent in the dual-roles of Timothy's Mother and Asphinxia, the exotic cabaret diva who sings the comical "Sand in My Eyes". Elizabeth Seal (IRMA LA DOUCE) is criminally under-used as Jane's Mother.

Others in the cast include Barry Martin, Malcolm Rennie, Osmund Bullock, Tricia George, Sue Aldred and David Urwin.

A lovely cast album and very nice for the price!

The style is the man--and the song.......2001-05-02

Many composers have chosen to perform their own material and commit it to discs, with mixed results. Only with Noel Coward do we feel that a good deal of the charm of his numbers lies in the very way he performs them. For proof, we now have the Naxos Nostalgia (8.120529), which dishes up 16 tracks of the ultra-refined son of W. S.Gilbert, giving us six selections from "This Year of Grace," one from "Bittersweet," a medley of treasures from his "Cavalcade," another from his other works, and a few other trifles that are better than most of what is written today.

Add to all this two classical scenes with Coward and co-star Gertrude Lawrence from his "Private Lives," incredibly valuable for those local drama groups who butcher this work in that this CD can teach them the tone and rhythms that are essential in making this classic succeed.

The subtitle of this set is "The Complete Recordings, Volume 1: 1928-1932." So we can look forward to future offerings featuring this fascinating composer-lyricist-performer. Thank you, Naxos, yet again.
