Allison Crowe's bootleg video series continues here with a celebratory nod to this weekend's opening of "Newfoundland Vinyl" - the hit Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador production at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival (staged in Canada's beautiful Gros Morne National Park). TNL proclaims: "Newfoundland Vinyl" is back! And this time it's "The "C" Side". Allison Crowe has made this show into a perennial Festival favourite. The vinyl Newfoundland hits of the 1960's, 70's and 80's by Newfoundland's biggest recording stars are never- ending. From Harry Hibbs' "The Wild Rover" to Eddy Coffey's "Area Code 709" to Corey & Trina's "Northern Lights of Labrador" Allison manages to lay bare the simple and beautiful melodies and lyrics of our most talented artists." The show spins each Tuesday and Friday from July 11 - August 29 at the GMTF -- and the "incredibly talented and versatile cast", says Allison, features the wonderful performing roster of musicians/actors: Colin Furlong, Craig Haley, Claire Hewlett, Amelia Manuel, Stephanie Payne, Keelan Purchase, and Marquita Walsh. With Adam Christopher Brake as Ed. NV's stellar cast is supported by a shining set of northern production lights: Director - Jeff Pitcher/Allison Crowe; Musical Director - Allison Crowe; Stage Manager - Effie Parsons; Set Design - Derek Butt; Costume Design - Lindsay Code; Original Sound Design - Dirk Ave; Original Lighting Design - Johnny Cann; and Sound Coordination & Lighting Coordination - Laura Penney. Allison Crowe enjoys curating and arranging the music - mining a treasure trove of tunes from the region - songs that cover a full range of genres and emotions. And when she tours the world Crowe carries the sounds of home to her international audience. On this concert night at Jazzhaus Freiburg in Germany - she performs a song penned by Terry Skinner that's first recorded by Canadian country great Eddie Eastman (in 1979). Allison Crowe recorded it for her album "Newfoundland Vinyl": http://music.allisoncrowe.com/track/easy (released, naturally, on vinyl LP). On its release last year, Gery Deugaw, the super-dedicated cultural archivist behind "GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador" @ http://www.wtv-zone.com/phyrst/audio/nfld - notes: "After all the years of travelling the Trans-Canada, Eddie Eastman was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Honour in 2010. Allison Crowe performs this song with the easy sound it needs to be successfully reprised in the 21st century." ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7AsuhS5CwY

"The Mobile Goat Song" is composed by Tom Cahill, of St. John's, Newfoundland, a frequent collaborator with "Newfoundland's First Lady of Song", Joan Morrissey, who released this cheerrful romp on her 1973 LP "Home Brew". Both Cahill and Morrissey have left earth's green pastures -- and live on in the hearts and music of islanders. Naturally, this be the favourite song of Rose Nylund, aka Rosie, whose visage appears in the accompanying video and who's kindly representin' - goats here, there and everywhere! Rosie lives with her people, artists Cara and Pam, another tiny goat, Sophia, together with ten cats and a dog at The Grumpy Goat Gallery in Upper Island Cove, Newfoundland: http://www.thegrumpygoatgallery.com/pages/about-us She's also loaned her name to Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast at the same location -- described by the hand-writing members of the menagerie as "the funniest, loveliest place on earth": http://thegrumpygoatgallery.blogspot.ca/2011/07/everything-is-coming-up-roses.html The creatures in the tune hail from Mobile - http://mobilian.tripod.com - on the beautiful Avalon Peninsula -- in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This recording from Allison Crowe is on her "Newfoundland Vinyl" LP, the 11th release on Rubenesque Records Ltd. - and out like the spuds on June 25, 2013. Dig it! http://music.allisoncrowe.com/track/the-mobile-goat-song As Musical Director for TNL's production of "Newfoundland Vinyl: The Flip Side" at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival, the Canadian musician, born in Nanaimo, BC, on the Pacific, is active now in her Atlantic setting, curating and arranging songs for this Summer's GMTF cast. It's a rich and varied collection harvested from the island region's popular music and oral traditions. The album's 10 tracks traverse parlour songs to country tunes and folk favourites, songs of land and sea that share the strength and the struggles, the joys, heartbreaks and the humour of people. As well as being a premiere songwriter, musician and performer of original material, Crowe's recognized as one of the great modern interpreters of song - via her internationally-acclaimed and much-loved versions of songs by Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, and plenty more greats - Allison Crowe's singular performances deliver familiar and much-loved songs afresh and with renewed joy. Crowe's just returned to her home in Corner Brook, NL, after attending the World Premiere in New York City of "Man of Steel", the Zack Snyder-directed Superman epic in which she has a cameo - as a musician performing "Ring of Fire", a song made famous by Johnny Cash. MoS is currently the #1 box office draw on planet Earth. (Had things not gone so wrong on Krypton, it'd surely be a smashing success there as well.)
