For our 4th CD release, we thought we would take some inspiration from
one of Jim's ancestors, historian and pioneer newspaperman John T. Bell,
who fought with the 2nd Iowa in the American Civil War. Irish music has
had a wide influence on music in America and here we explore Irish and
American experiences around the Civil War era. We added some jigs and
reels, some new originals and a couple of old favorites. Tramps and Triumphs
it is the result.

This is our third CD.
The Poitin veterans, Don, Bob, Teresa, Bonnie and Jim are joined by talented
young musicians Bettina Villamil, fiddle, mandolins, and vocals, Jason
Thorstad a/k/a J-Thor, bass, guitars; Pat Crary, drums and bodhran; and
Alex Rydell, fiddle and backing vocals. We tried to make up an album with
a mix of old faves, maybe played a little differently, some new dance
music, and some fine original songs. Jason, Bettina, and Teresa each came
up with some sets; Bettina, Bonnie and Don each contributed songwriting
talents. At any rate, we had lots of fun getting together to make some
of our own Red River version of Irish music.
