This
third CD from The Goodwills captures the mischief, laughter and poignancy of a
live performance in their very own lounge room.
Bob & Laurel Wilson
invited their young friend and musical collaborator Silas
Palmer to accompany them on piano, fiddle, mandolin and backing vocals.
Maleny community choir 'Tapestry' are also
involved, backing The Goodwills on a stirring musical version of the George Essex
Evans poem, Women of the West.
Bob & Laurel put on their Tapestry sashes
later in the evening to join the choir for 'Steal Away'
and 'Irish Blessing'.
Loungeroom
Legends contains nine Bob Wilson originals, including
She's Apples, Calm Blue Ocean, Crossroads of Love, Small Frog Song, Little
Deeds and Impressions of New Zealand.
There are also
a few of the Goodwills' favourite old tunes including
Poor Wayfaring Stranger, Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter and
Un Canadien Errant.
There's
about an hour's worth of music on this CD, along with pithy introductory comments
from The Goodwills and it has a unique ambience, as one might expect with
a concert recorded in a loungeroom full of 40 people and a poodle!
