He might well have been talking about Jim Page. Page, the Seattle-based folkie currently on the road with Leftover Salmon, plays his work in culture all the time. The 1996 CD, "Whose World Is This," documents what Jim Page does very well. At its best folk music is temporal and timeless, personal and political, knows the individual and the society, inspires reflection and action, laughter and tears, speaks to (and of) the past, the present and the future, all at once. Jim Page is folk music at its very best. Which means that as soon as one tries to categorize Jim Page too closely, one will start to miss the point. Suffice it to say that the artist incorporates some of the best elements of Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Peter Rowan, Bruce Cockburn, Fred Small, and so many others, in a unique, smart, eclectic, engaging and entertaining package. Page's insightful lyrics and catchy rhythms explore the cultural politics of pot ("Righteous"), celebrates pirate radio and computer hackers ("Take Our Culture Back"), the Grateful Dead scene ("Down To Eugene"), and includes some mighty fine instrumental picking ("Ice Skating On The Freemont Bridge"). Page provides a most engaging and useful brief history of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, connecting Timothy McViegh and the rabid right-wing talk radio of G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North ("Only Talking On The Radio"). Page looks at the cultural garden and suggests thinning some of the historical roots so that other plants may now grow ("Puritan Seeds"). He explores the paradoxes implicit in the life of the free radical ("Right To Be Wrong"). He also paints powerful portraits of emotion and personal relationships ("Stranger In Me," and others). Page's stylistic range is large, incorporating styles ranging from acoustic folk, gypsy grooves and talking blues to Tex-Mex meets Cajun and rock. Page is joined by a host of supporting musicians on this CD, including the fine backup vocals of Erin Corday ("Tina", "Tear"), and the multi-faceted contributions of producer Orville Johnson (guitars, lap steel, dobro, mandolin, banjo). Many songs use a three-piece rhythm section, as well as a wide variety of tastefully employed harmonicas, pedal steel, accordions, organs, uillean pipes, bajo sexto, and more, in ways that encourage rapt attention while they set the feet a tapping. In short: Jim Page's "Whose World Is This" is nothing short of an excellent CD. "Recommended Highly" by da Flower Punk. ______________________________flowerpunkprods___________________________ _ Jim Page's label, Liquid City, can be reached at P.O.

Also thinking of a summer vacation that involves the great outdoors. One of my favorite was 2 years ago whilst in Montana I stumbled across a music fest in La Hood. Who was playin' LOS. My first time, in the mountians and amongst a bunch of friendly folk. Anyone here canoed Moosehead Lake in Maine? Looking for tips.
