John Millard and Happy Day
Citizens Awake!
$14.99

"...a mixture of the Lone Ranger and Kurt Weill" really sums this all up pretty damned well. Banjo-mult-instrumentalist-singer Millard is as quirky as they come; part John Hartford, part kamikazee poet, he and his band (on vibes, banjo, four singers, accordion and bass among other assorted tools) range all across the musical landscape, touching on theater music, old-timey tunes, happy dances and traumatic nightmares.

...Another great discovery was John Millard & Happy Day. Although Millard is no stranger to the music scene – he had a cult following in the late eighties with the Polka Dogs – Happy Day is his first musical outing in many years. Sounding like a mixture of the Lone Ranger and Kurt Weill, Happy Day exuberantly played its three female voices, accordion, vibes, banjo, bass and snare drum off Millard’s quick-draw lyrics and buttery baritone. - National Post, Canada

Please note!
 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
