cd cover Dick Gaughan
Prentice Piece: a compilation from the first three decades
$19.99

2 CDs with extensive notes, lyrics, etc., includes some of Gaughans best work, both popular and familiar and tracks from some early out-of-print records.

"There are very few singers who can inspire audiences with the commitment, passion, emotion and downright understanding that Gaughan has consistently achieved over the last 30 years or so. This outstanding compilation is a timely reminder of that, as well as a signpost that the next decade will no doubt bring yet more surprises from this master craftsman." Bob Walton, fRoots (Read the complete review)

"Gaughan is one of the best singers on the scene who is pricking social consciences, so the tracks are not all dealing with history of long ago... Gaughan is not an apprentice -- he is a master craftsman -- but his Prentice Piece is a work that should adorn the collection of anyone who is serious about good music, history and heartfelt performance." - Rambles.net

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.
