The Big News is I have a new CD!

Madcat's More Real Folk Blues

This CD features an eclectic mix of music which includes folk music, blues, and other rootsy American music... I did all the singing on this CD and played most of the instruments including harmonicas, ukulele, jaw harps, baritone guitar, banjo, banjo ukulele, high hat, cowbell, wood block, shakers, guiro, tambourine, and brushes on a pizza box. Richard Smith played bass on 2 songs, Flávio Guimarães played harmonica on one song, and Sergio Paes and Marcio Carvalho played some Brazilian percussion on one song.

I had a great time making this CD.

I hope you will check it out in the CDs, DVDs, etc. page.

Triple Play Live was recorded live at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York on February 25 and 26, 2000. Triple Play is an acoustic trio which features Chris Brubeck - bass, piano, bass trombone, and vocals; Peter Madcat Ruth - harmonica, jawharp, and vocals; and Joel Brown - guitar, and vocals. Two cuts on the CD feature a Renaissance Chromatic Harmonica which I borrowed for the recording session. What an amazing instrument!
