Mug Hummies by Andy McLeod

This album is a combination of several elements that would perhaps not normally find themselves in company with one another. I Sing As I Journey and The Land Where Living Waters Flow are both old gospel numbers that I first heard from The Payne Family Quartet, recorded sometime in the 1950s. Leave it There is a Charles A. Tindley composition that I heard from a recording of Jepson and Donaldson. Baltimore Fire comes from the late great Charlie Poole. Guitar Stomp was first recorded byacclaimed piano player Walter Roland. One for Kanui is a variation on Pue Carnation, a recording by Hawaiian duo Kanui and Lula, who made several recordings in the 1930’s.The rest of this album is my own writing, improvisation, and sonic experimentation.
