May/June 2002 - Clan Cameron Newsletter (www.clan-cameron.org) CAMERON'S AMERICAN SONGS

It is a difficult task. How can the spirit of America, with its rich yet relatively short history, be captured in song? Success
in such an endeavor is only possible when the sound of America, a youthful, innocent and searching, yet proud and independent voice, is preserved. Just as the folk art of the nineteenth century portrays a "snap shot" of its times, folk music has the same inherent ability to tell its tale, and endure the test of time.

With the recent release of Josephine Cameron's "American Songs," this task has been taken on with delightful results. Her strong, spirited vocals, featured in eleven tracks, along with the lone accompaniment of Josephine's acoustic guitar, are hauntingly beautiful. From the opening song, "Wayfaring Stranger," she reminds the listener that home is where we long to be, a basic lesson hardly expressed enough in this day and age.

Other highlights include a striking, home-spun version of the classic
tune "Danny Boy," which Josephine informs readers in her liner notes, "technically isn't 'American,' yet "Americans adopted the tune during World War I." The lone collaboration on this release is a duet with her sister Anna on the song "Will the Circle be Unbroken." Promising a "better home awaiting," these two lasses remind listeners that an eternal resting place will be the final, greatest home they seek.

A young lady of proud Cameron descent, with the soul of a poet and the mystical voice of a Highland fairy, Josephine Cameron's "American Songs" was released this year under the Modo Records label, is available via her website, www.josephinecameron.com
