Our friends over at Cambridge Live Music have released Sounds of Cambridge, Vol. 1, the first in a (hopefully long) series of amazing compilations. It's a fabulous showcase of the wonderful musical talent in that area. Spanning a number of genres and boasting a mix of new and old tracks, the CD makes an unbelievably good introduction to the local scene.
From the website: "An independent jury of industry professionals had the unenviable, and daunting task of narrowing the submissions down to the final 19 songs presented here. This CD is not intended to represent a cross section of the Cambridge music scene; but it is a tasty sampler of some of the music that's getting played around town most weekends by these very talented artists."
Cambridge singer/songwriter Robert "Bobby" Cameron has started off with a bang, thanks to his amazing debut solo CD, Songs in My Head. Thanks to marvelous guitarwork and distinctive vocals, this album is definitely worth multiple plays!
With an incredible, punchy, folk sound (including a touch of Celtic flavour) there's a lot of feeling put into these fabulous tracks. Bobby did a great job writing seven of the songs and also does wonders with the three classic covers: Fields of Athenry, House of the Rising Sun, and Wild Mountain Thyme.
He's also joined by the fantastic Dan Walsh (guitars, bass, lap steel) who produces the CD. Bobby's frequent partner, Richard MacNeil adds his cool Cajon playing.
You can pick up a copy of this outstanding CD at any of his live show. It will be available on iTunes on July 2015.
