Tom Paxton – Boat In The Water
Tom Paxton may have trimmed his touring schedule, but he is far from done writing songs and performing. On ‘BOAT IN THE WATER’ he features exquisite new songs co-written with Jon Vezner (‘Kathy Mattea's hit 'Where've You Been’), Pat Alger (multiple Garth Brooks hits) and Don Henry. He has his own new songs and a few from the past that are calling back to him. Paxton teamed up with friends and GRAMMY Award winners Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer as producers and band. Marcy's versatility as harmony singer and instrumentalist on the resonator guitar, mandolin, guitar, ukulele and percussion have built her resume as a top notch studio and live musician. Cathy Fink adds banjo, guitar and harmony vocals. Ralph Gordon, versatile double bassist, keeps the rhythm section solid. The many trio performances and long time friendship of this trio is apparent in the music. *Folk icon Tom Paxton's 63rd recording includes 13 songs, a mix of brand new songs and a few not heard in a very long time. *Touring solo, with Cathy & Marcy and with the Don Juans *GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award Winner
