I'm delighted that Jesse Winchester is doing another album...must have some
good songs done by now!
As many of you know, Stony Plain has the rights to the Bearsville
catalogue, and all seven albums from that fetile period remain in the
catalogue. And, hey, if Sugar Hill has Jerry Douglas with Jesse, Stony
Plain's got Amos Garrett with Jesse...
Jesse HATES performing live, gives interviews reluctantly (but has
been very good in supporting the Stony Plain releases - oh, yes, did I say
I do publicity for Stony Plain?)...Jesse also gave the late John Bauldie of
Mojo what Bauldie later described as "the worst interview I've ever done on
the phone" but it made a nice whatever-happened-to article.
Congrats to Barry Poss and the Sugar Hill gang for getting the man
to make another one. Now, if they can get him to tour, I want to do the
Toronto date!

Cheers,

Richard

Someone asked about Jesse Winchester (sorry, I'm slow, I'm on digest). 
I can't tell you too much about the upcoming CD yet since we won't get
advances until May.  I have heard the rough mixes, though, and I think
fans of Jesse should like it.  The songs are great, but of course the
mixes are, well, rough.  Jerry Douglas is producing it and he does
wonders with the final mix.

I had someone say that they'd crawl naked across a field of broken glass
in the pouring rain to see Jesse. Other fans of his that I've talked to
seem to be just as...um...rabid.

Steve,

Thanksum, don't know about the naked part, but I do love the guy!

Way to go Jerry!  Let's hope a tour supports the CD and makes it's way 
through Beantown.
