A River Runs Through It (2019) is a collection of 13
songs performed on the cello and mountain dulcimer. The original concept
was simply to record some pretty songs with a combination of instruments
that Joe Collins has always liked. As the recording evolved, the songs
that rose to the top were mostly deeply reflective songs about everyday
life. They include “Shenandoah,” Erik Bogel’s “Willie McBride,” Dougie
McLean’s “Caledonia,” and a host of original compositions and
arrangements by Collins. He wrote the title cut, “A River Runs Through
It” only after all the other songs were recorded and mixed in order to
pull the CD together thematically.
The CD is available in the
STORE on this website. It is also available in digital format from
Amazon, ITunes, and a host of other distributors. |
