Dorothy Carter - Troubadour (Vinyl)
$73.00
Regular price $58.00Drag City’s first-ever reissue of Dorothy Carter’s Troubadour is a merry moment to celebrate. Her 1976 debut found Dorothy hammering out a folk sound inclusive of the music she found out in the world: Appalachian folk tunes, ancient psalms and hymns, melodies from Scotland, Ireland, France, and a few of her own songs, too! Today, take your turn towards “Masquerade”, one of Dorothy’s original compositions.
Dorothy’s dulcimer shimmers reflectively on the instrumental “Masquerade”, joined in its dance by Sally Hilmer Baker’s tamboura. As the song’s descending line imparts, unexpected emotions pour out of Dorothy’s performance, as she and Baker are caught in a trance. The song held an enduring importance to her; Dorothy revisited “Masquerade” on her final release with more of a Caribbean rhythm, a show of the pan-cultural sympathies of her music.

A1. Troubadour Song
A2. Binnorie
A3. Troubadour Songs on the Psaltery
