A Great Acoustic Sampler
_____________________________________________________
Cape and Islands Ways
Originally the sound-track for a television show of the same name, this CD features rather stately arrangements of some good old folksongs, but it also includes the most up-to-date recordings of Lorraine’s brilliant tunes First Light, Robin and The Free Spirit.

Jingalo Gypsy
A blend of original and traditional music, this beautiful CD unites our love for the story-songs and ballads, crooked fiddle tunes and contradance settings of traditional folk music with our own contemporary voice as writers. It is our most produced recording, with an all-star set of accompanying musicians.

Peace on Earth
Familiar and obscure, merry and wistful, traditional and contemporary Christmas music the way we play it when we’re at home, mostly just guitar and dulcimer. This one is all instrumental. Peace on Earth vol. II will include vocals.

The RockaFolky Banjo Tapes
A brief but rowdy solo multi-track home recording (properly remixed and mastered in a studio). What Bennett does when Lorraine is away.

The Muddy River Suite
Lorraine’s Chamber Folk orchestral portrait of Colonial Brookline. Mostly instrumental tunes based in the popular dance music of the day, it includes the Ballad Of Mistress Hibbbins, a local property owner too clever to suit her neighbors, who was the first person in Massachusetts to be hanged for a witch.

Beloved Awake
Lorraine’s first solo record ( with expert back-up musicians, of course! ), this is a songwriter’s showcase. But it weaves traditional material through and through, including some of the songs and ballads that Lorraine grew up with.

Hell Up Coal Holler
Lorraine joins fiddler Gerry Milnes for a set of knock-down, drag-out traditional West Virginia fiddle tunes.
This is the Mountain dulcimer in its wild state.

An Exhultation of Dulcimers
Reissue of the classic collaboration between Lorraine Hammond, using her traditionally-based style, and Roger Nicholson, whose personal fingerstyle approach suggests the lute, harpsichord and pipes. With Jean Ritchie, Rick Lee and Jake Walton.
