HADEN, CHARLIE

Charlie Haden, universally recognised as one of music’s greatest bass players, is returning to his country roots!
This month Haden will release Charlie Haden Family & Friends - Rambling Boy, a 19-song CD featuring tunes from traditional country, bluegrass and contemporary Americana which pays homage to the music he sang as a child with his parents and brothers and sisters on the Haden Family radio show during the late thirties, forties and early fifties.
He’ll be bringing the world of Jazz and Country uniquely together with performances by not only such country luminaries as Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Dan Tyminski and Roseanne Cash but also jazz great and long-time collaborator Pat Metheny. Other star guests include singer Elvis Costello, singer songwriter Bruce Hornsby and actor/musician Jack Black (who just happens to be Haden’s son-in-law!).
The focus of the album is his contemporary family—his son, Josh Haden, his triplet daughters Rachel, Petra and Tanya Haden and his wife and co-producer, Ruth Cameron,-- who are singers and musicians in their own right, and who all contribute strong performances. Haden himself makes a rare appearance as a vocalist on the final track, a moving soliloquy to his place of birth, “Oh, Shenandoah”.

Estimated despatch 5-10 days after ordering.
