We would love any positive reviews posted to the site... thanks so much. From a CD Baby Review: "The haunting lyric quality of this CD grabs and holds you. From the first chords of THINGS I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN, you know you have found a gem in this CD. The haunting lyric quality of the selections sung with the artist's strong, yet gentle baritone gives a consistency throughout leaving you wanting more. From original Irish tunes to personal vignettes, this is a winner." ---Diana Lindsay, author and publisher E-reviews of concerts and albums: "Thanks for broadening my horizons with your latest CD. While I know a lot of Irish songs most of those songs were new to me. The ones that I had heard before were arranged so uniquely that they became almost new songs. Great job! Thanks for sending it and continued success. John " 3/10/09 Many thanks to John Philip Wyllie from the San Diego Troubadour for allowing me to post his private email comments on the new CD The Wild Rover. "I think your song Hippies is a masterwork, an epic." "He did a song called Shipwrecked last night... and it 'wrecked me..,' He introduced it by saying that it was inspired by some of Dylan's best story songs. Well I'm here to tell you it was right up there with them." --- Joe Rathburn, Folkey Monkey at Milano's "I was extremely taken with 'Shipwrecked.' What a great song. The imagery is so classic... The mark of a memorable song to me is the desire to learn it and sing it. This one is in that league." --- Paul Espinoza of Golden Bough “Your voice and style are fabulous. Not many voices can capture Leonard Cohen-like sweet and deep vibrations, but yours does in its own unique and delightful way. I find it hypnotizing in a way, takes me somewhere else. And, your lyrics are fun to think about too.” --JS in San Diego INCLUDE THESE CD RECORDINGS IN YOUR LIBRARY Please go to http://cdbaby.com/cd/hintonjim to order The Wild Rover featuring I'm a Rover, My Father Loves Nikita Kruschev, I Remember Erin and others.

"Irish Folk Songs and the Stories They Tell-- a unique class" Thanks to all of you who attended the three piloting classes of our Irish music class.... some of you attended all 27 weeks! The next session of our class returns Fall 2010 at La Mesa Enrichment Center, "Irish Folk Music: Culture and History through Story Songs," a 9-week course on many topics Irish through Ireland's rich repertoire of folk songs. We will meet for 9 weeks on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm . Please call 619.464.0505 for information, or in August 2010 go to City of La Mesa http://www.cityoflamesa.com/ for Adult Enrichment Classes. It is under Adult Specialty. Each week I will perform traditional and popular songs from the Irish folk repertoire. Cheryl Hinton, my anthropologist wife, will add to it presenting topics from an anthropology/ archaeology perspective. We had a great time the first three classes exploring Irish culture, singing Irish songs while drinking famous Barry's Irish tea in the cozy cottage at the adult center. We also enjoyed recordings of many of the legendary performers of Irish folk. And this Shindig (seinut-theach) is the Bee's Knees (beas nuiosach) Dude (dud) and all that Jazz (teas). It is great fun and we learn a lot along the way--the craic is indeed at least 90.
