LISA NULL: American Primitive
Audio CD
Available from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
"Bill Shute and I featured a broad range of American traditional music on our second album, American Primitive. The first album, The Feathered Maiden, kept winding up in English import bins at record stores so we wanted to make people would recognize this album as definitively American. We included Western songs as well as material emphasizing the Celtic heritage of Canada and America’s northeast. By this time, we often played on the road or back home in Connecticut with a diverse group of fine, highly energized musicians. As these musicians dropped by, we recorded them in the Green Linnet studio, operating right out of my house. You can feel the fun!"
—Lisa Null
