Scuffletown Records Catalog and Merchandise
Folk/Americana CDs--The Americana Music Association broadly defines ‘Americana’ as “roots music based on the traditions of country...including influences ranging from folk to bluegrass to blues and beyond.” But if you get right down to it, Americana is a genre created to recognize a growing niche of consumers with taste and distinction (yes you!) who refuse to accept a musical heritage as defined by Clear Channel Media. Intuitive and intelligent (yes you!), they seek songs with substance. Their music lives on public, college, and community radio and is spun by the last true DJs in America. The CDs in this section feature Donal Hinely on guitar and vocals joined by an impressive array of musicians and special guests including: David Henry, Will Kimbrough, Kim Richey, Mindy Smith, Fats Kaplin, Tommy Womack, Viktor Krauss, David Mead and former members of Wilco, Counting Crows, and the Edwin McCain Band.
Glass Music CDs--According to actual testimonials received here at Scuffletown Records, glass music eases stress in the workplace, restores peace and harmony on the home front, relaxes cats with ADD, helps re-create the Summer of Love (when paired with incense), eliminates unnecessary road rage, and actually increases milk production in Louisiana dairy cows. The CDs in this section feature a homemade musical instrument often called the glass harmonica. The stemware that makes up the instrument was purchased at thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales; only a few of the glasses are actually crystal. Some molding and window spline is used to secure the glasses to a well worn piece of plywood. The ethereal music is produced by rubbing a wet finger around the rim of the glass causing it to vibrate. The particular instrument used in these recordings has a two and a half octave range and is tuned by varying the water level in each glass. The CDs feature 100% organic acoustic performances and no samples were used.
Glasnots CDs--Glasnots is the enchanting music of the brothers Hinely. On the glasses is the late Terry Hinely--mentor, best friend, teacher, and the true glass master. Donal Hinely accompanies him on acoustic guitar and vocals. The CDs in this section are a mix of traditional, instrumental, and original music.
