REDBIRD Live (Mulvey/Foucault/Delmhorst/Goodrich)
Redbird, the folk supergroup made up of Peter Mulvey / Jeffrey Foucault / Kris Delmhorst / David Goodrich, is coming out with their second album…
Each December for the past seven years Redbird has played a sold-out three-night stand at the venerable Café Carpe in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Now Redbird Live at the Café Carpe invites you into the session, culling from these intimate shows performances of songs ranging from Mississippi John Hurt to Merle Haggard and Tin Pan Alley (along with a few well-chosen originals), and recapturing the magic and depth of songs passed between friends in a crowded bar.
- I’m Beginning to see the Light
- Strangers

Mine is gladly on order… I’d urge you to follow suit. You won’t be disappointed. I’d also highly recommend their first album – a studio venture (out in 2005).
This album is great fun. You can hear them bantering and having a great time. I also like how Peter Mulvey’s drawn the rest of them into his old-timey music obsession. Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me and I’m Beginning to See The Light have not given up anything to the ravages of time in Redbird’s hands.
