NASHVILLE, TN-- The kind people on Pa's Friends List are now being advised that "The Arkansas Traveler" has been released.
This does NOT mean that a dangerous criminal is on the loose. To the contrary, the news is quite good.
"The Arkansas Traveler: Music from Little House on the Prairie" CD is now available from The Pa's Fiddle Project. This is the second installment of the projected 10 CD series which brings to life the songs from the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first album in the series, "Happy Land: Musical Tributes to Laura Ingalls Wilder" was released in 2005 to critical acclaim.
Eighteen songs are woven into "Little House on the Prairie", many of them among the greatest in 19th Century American music. This recording gives new voice and sound to the music from a classic book, music which has remained silent on the page for far too long.
