Icon Brand new Baerwald song!

Hi all,

Just heard a new song by David called "If Wishes Were Horses" from an upcoming CD called "13 Ways to Live," a compilation album by Texan musicians responding to the Iraq War. (Also on the record are Ian Moore, Alejandro Escovedo, Patty Griffin and Will Sexton). The song is a must-have for Baerwald completists. It's a ghostly ballad with a haunting piano refrain and occasional splashes of harmonium, clarient and cello -- David's stellar vocal on the track is quite emotional and harkens back to the mood of "Bitter Tree." The liner notes say that Baerwald wrote the lyrics and the music was written by Stephen Barber. Perhaps David could post some more details about the track...

The press release says the album is released Sept. 21.

cheers, manic nirvana

P.S. Any other libertarians on this forum?
