Debra Cowan with Michael DeLalla: “Dad’s Dinner Pail”

Co-produced with composer and guitarist Michael DeLalla, the renowned singer breathes new life into eleven traditional songs from the Flanders Song Collection in an elegant dance with Michael's exquisite guitar settings, always delivered with reverence for the song. Dad's Dinner Pail is also a demonstration of Falling Mountain synergy, with performances by label artists Tabby Finch (The Bog Wanderers) on hammered dulcimer and accordion, Chas Fowler (The Unfortunate Rakes) on whistle, and Joe Dezarn (The Bog Wanderers) on fiddle, as well as guest appearances from acclaimed singer John Roberts (Roberts and Barrand, Nowell Sing We Clear) lending his voice to two hymns, "Fearless In the Fire" and "Star In the East". Ralph Gordon, a longtime and frequent contributor to Falling Mountain recordings, lends his talents on cello and bass. Highlights include Michael's beautiful guitar arrangements in songs such as "Bold Richard" and Debra's gloriously nested three-part harmony vocals on "Poor Soldier".
