MERRICK JARRETT is a young Toronto folk-singer who has specialized in cowboy songs. His singing career started in 1941 while he was serving as an airman in Newfoundland. After winning an amateur show, he was featured on a weekly radio program from VORG, Gander. Returning to Toronto after the war, he had his own folk-song program on a local station for three years. In 1952, he made his debut on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation network in a folksong series called "A Man and A Maid" with Joyce Sullivan. In 1956, he acted as both narrator and singer in "Cowboy Songs of the Old West," a 14 week series prepared by Edith Fowke for the CBC. These programs proved very popular and from them were chosen the songs for this recording.

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteChecking old bookmarks while rebuilding my crashed computer and found you hidden there after all these years. There are a number of albums here that I haven't heard before but they are all stored in Rapidshare which now seems unavailable. Are you considering a new service? I don't have a blog but have a number of albums similar in style you may be interested in? Only mp3 128 bit I'm afraid as I am not an audiophile.
Cheers, Ryk
Ah well, it has been a long time. I'll keep the bookmark active for next time.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ryk
