Wintersong
Released in 2016
$13.00
We New Englanders have two primary seasonal coping mechanisms for wintertime: introspection and celebration. Hole up and think about your life, then go out and party. Wintersong does both, swinging from hushed settings of verses by Longfellow and Tennyson to fiddle- and percussion-driven New Year’s shouts from the Georgia Sea Islands and Louisiana. Track list and liner notes
Violets are Blue
Released in 2015
$12.00
Violets Are Blue is an album of love songs from the kaleidoscopic perspective of midlife. It’s hopeful, truth-telling and wry, with a wide sonic palette and guest appearances from friends old and new.
Some Bright Morning
Released in 2012
$12.00
Recorded almost completely live, this one is an agnostic gospel revival, full of singing, dancing, and quietly wondering songs that ask big questions and celebrate the human spirit.
Ranky Tanky
Released in 2010
$12.00
We had never been so unpremeditated, live, creative and playful in the studio. A 100% parent band, we hoped to make a family album that wouldn’t elicit curses (from parents) after endless replays.
Big Old Life
Released in 2007
$12.00
This CD was a hallelujah after some hard times – and our first recording with engineer/co-producer Chris Rival, who began to show us, in his Zen way, how to get the best of daisy mayhem onto tape.
Gambling Eden
Released in 2003
$12.00
Packed with wicked grooves, Gambling Eden has the most muscle of any CD we’ve made. Old-time/Cajun music maven Dirk Powell produced and upped our funk factor with accordion, banjo and tack piano.
Cocktail Swing
Released in 2001
$12.00
Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem launched with this CD: a musical oath to only ever, ever, ever have fun. It’s vintage, uke-fueled swing and blues all the way through, from Louis Jordan to George Jones.
