March 2008 Best CDs

Of the CDs that came into the station in March, 2008, my favorites were:

• Calhoun, Andrew, and Campground, Bound to Go -- a collection of traditional African American songs.
• Oasis Acoustic Radio Sampler, Volume VIII, 2 -- we usually get several of these a month, and usually I like a lot of the songs on both the Acoustic and World samplers, but some seem to have more songs I like than others. This album had fun songs such as "Love that Garlic" by Lehigh Valley Folk Music Society and "Pond Tune" by We Ski Cousins, as well as moving serious songs such as "Amy Isn't Amy" by Teddy Cunningham. There were two songs about people who stood up against the violence of the Civil War and paid with their lives for doing so: "Don't Burn the Zion Church" by Ron Fettner and "Laughlin Boy" by Barry and Brooks. "Until a Drop Becomes A Flood" by Leela and Ellie Grace criticizes the way U.S. policies hurt people, but held out hope for working together to make things better.
• Woods Tea Company, The Passage -- I've always liked Woods Tea Company. This album came out after two of their four members died, with replacement members added, and it's just as good as the ones they did before.
