At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Scrapula and Clemens (or, less frequently, year 948 ''Ab urbe condita'').

Winter Stories (album)
''Winter Stories'' is an album by American singer Judy Collins and Norwegian musician Jonas Fjeld backed by American blugrass group Chatham County Line. It was released on November 29, 2019 on the Cleopatra label and reached number one on the ''Billboard'' Top Bluegrass Albums chart, becoming the 80-year-old Collins' first ever American number one album on any chart, as well as the first for Fjeld and the third for Chatham County Line. Background and recording Although the lead artists were tangentially aware of one another (Collins recorded Fjeld's " Angels in the Snow" for her 2014 album ''Christmas with Judy Collins''), they had never worked together. Fjeld had previously toured with and recorded three albums with Chatham County Line. Of choosing her collaborators, Collins explained "I knew Jonas and Chatham County Line would be a great fit with me. The language of music overarches everything, including geography. When we came together in the studio, we found we could speak to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ridin' On The Blinds
''Ridin' on the Blinds'' was the second and final album by the folk-rock trio of Rick Danko, Jonas Fjeld and Eric Andersen. Released in 1994, it was different from its predecessor in that its focus was rootsier, influenced more by the folk leanings of the group than their rock leanings. Among the tracks are tributes to Paul Butterfield ("Every Man Is His Own Hero") and Richard Manuel ("All Creation"), definitive readings of The Band's "Twilight" and Tom Paxton's "Bottle of Wine" and a duet between Andersen and guest vocalist Kirsten Berg on Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day". Work was planned for a third trio album three years later when Rick Danko's arrest for drug possession put these plans on hold temporarily. Two years later, with Rick Danko's December 1999 death, these plans were put permanently to rest. The remaining duo toured with Danko's bandmate Garth Hudson in 2001 behind the album '' One More Shot'', though no further albums have come. Track listing #"Ridin' on ...
