Faun Fables – “a Table Forgotten” – [Drag City]

Faun Fables??? web page describes its music as ???songtelling,??? and it is captivating. Dawn McCarthy???s gorgeous voice is the strongest instrument on this CD of songs that celebrate birthdays, memories, home life, and dreams. Violin, theremin, flute, guitars, and percussion are joined by the sounds of plates and silverware clinking, tea kettles whistling, and other voices adding to the jaunty, earthy richness (1, 3) or absolutely poignant, evocative mood (2, 4) created in this work of art.
