Greetings from Maine’s January Thaw.

As you can see, we’ve been expanding our catalog with more musicians whose work we admire. We’re proud to off er the last CD that the legendary Helen Schneyer made before she died. We also have music by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason, Ruth Ungar’s solo album and a recent tribute to Rachel Carson called “Songs of the Earth” and we are very pleased to include the folk-rock quintet, The Mammals in our catalog.

We’ve been encouraged by the response from folks who have down-loaded songs and whole albums, so we’ll keep doing that. We always look forward to hearing from you about the music in your lives so let us know what you listen to and how you like to listen to it. Happy Spring!

Gordon Bok

Departure - The Mammals CD The Mammals new album Departure shows the band moving towards a completely unique sound. The rocking energy of fi ddles and banjos has been augmented with electric guitar, keyboards and a heavy rhythm section. The songs are political in tone yet completely accessible. Departure is a break through album for The Mammals. This is their third studio album. (2006)

The Mammals are a powerhouse folk-rock quintet described by one critic as “…one of the best hopes we have for the future and vitality of American folk music.” Over time, the lineup has evolved from an acoustic trio to a fi ve-piece band with electric bass and drums. Today The Mammals blend Appalachian fi ddle-banjo alchemy with their own contemporary lyric poetry, and a dynamic rock-n-roll rhythm section.

The band features Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, grandson of the legendary Pete Seeger, Michael Merenda, art-pop songwriter, Chris Merenda, drummer and solo artist, Jacob Silver, bass player, and Ruth Ungar, daughter

of Grammy-winning fi ddler/composer Jay Ungar. Blending the textures of their varied instruments, repertoires,

and infl uences, The Mammals are spreading their motto “Trad is rad” across the nation. In a constantly evolving genre, the group creates a strongly grounded acoustic sound that is beautiful, energized, and raw — preserving the

timeless appeal of American roots music.

As the Boston Globe says: ““The Mammals play old-time stringband music the way Jack Kerouac wrote novels - with an abandon born of a deep understanding of structure and form. Their sound is wild, mirthful, and masterful.”

The Story of The Mammals

“...gleefully aware that the sound barriers separating old-timey music, vintage pop and contemporary folk are as permeable as cotton...accoustic traditionalists,

to be sure, but the subversive sort.” - The Washington Post

Songs for the Eartha tribute to Rachel CarsonCD

What A Singing There Will Be- Helen SchneyerCD

What a Singing There Will Be is the last recording of a legendary East Coast singer, Helen Schneyer. Recorded with friends and family the year before she passed away, Helen sings folk and gospel songs to an audience of all musicians. Helen said, “making a recording at a concert instead of a studio - was like a family gathering (except there was no food throwing).” (2003)

Jukebox- Ruth UngarCD

On this solo CD, Jukebox, Ruth sings her way through contemporary originals and classics. Moody grooves that range from country and swing to modern pop. (2002)

Relax Your Mind- Jay Unger & Molly MasonCD

Relax Your Mind is a collection of country blues, waltzes, vintage jazz, western swing, two steps and Dixieland jams, recorded with our band Swingology. (2003)

The Lovers’ Waltz- Jay Unger & Molly MasonCD

Jay & Molly’s fi rst, and most popular, duo album. It features “The Lovers’ Waltz” and other originals, plus Ungar & Mason renditions of traditional and swing classics. (1997)

Timberhead Music is excited to off er More New Music from Jay Unger and Molly Mason and Jay’s daughter Ruth Unger. Jay and Molly are musicians of enormous talent who draw their inspiration from a wide range of American musical styles: 19th-century classics, lively Appalachian, Cajun, and Celtic fi ddle tunes and favorites from the golden age of country and swing, along with their own songs, fi ddle tunes, and orchestral compositions. Ruth Unger sings and plays fi ddle, uke, and guitar in multiple bands, including The Mammals, Sometimes Why, and Wayfaring Strangers. She is best known for her emotive, multi-styled voice with which she makes the old sound new and the new sound old.
