When you think of “grassroots” and “down to Earth,” you don’t normally think of a movie star. You especially don't think of a movie star the caliber of Jeff Daniels. Yet that is exactly what Jeff has accomplished with his second CD Grandfather’s Hat. With the follow-up album to Live and Unplugged, Daniels has proven that he is not an actor who sings, but an accomplished singer/songwriter whose musical talent does not require the support of his acting.
The new double-CD album Untold and Unsung showcases John McCutcheon's double-barreled talents as both a singer/songwriter/instrumental virtuoso and as a world-class storyteller. The first CD, Untold, was recorded live at the 2008 National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN. Whether taking us along on a trip with his teenage son and his friends or recounting a meeting with a construction worker from the Sydney Opera House, John exhibits what the Washington Post called, "storytelling with the power of fine literature." The album's second CD, Unsung, features some of the most compelling and popular songwriting of John's career. “Sara Tucholosky” tells the story of a young college softball player and her brush with true sportsmanship. “Streets of Sarajevo” recounts the story of Vedran Smailovic, the "cellist of Sarajevo," who makes a guest appearance on cello for the song. And “Old People in Love” is a sure-to-be classic with the added treat of Suzy Boggus dueting with John.
