U H F

UHF are better known individually as Shari Ulrich, Bill Henderson, and Roy Forbes. They all have folk music backgrounds, in spite of having ventured on over other musical horizons. It was a fun album for them to make and although it was supposed to be a one-time affair, they've gotten together often since then for live performances. Its a lively album without fancy frills, but lots of good listenable music. Selections included When I Sing, Keep Lightin' That Fire, Day By Day, One Step Closer to the Light, Wings for the Sky, Do I Love You, and six others.

Shari Ulrich "Every Road"

Shari makes a partial return to her old folk roots with this great album. The songs are all hers, and there are some very powerful lyrics and her fine voice does them more than justice. The accompaniment is more "folk-rock" than "accoustic folk", but the arrangements make it all fit beautifully. The net result is a pleasing, highly entertaining, and memorable album. Selections include Legacies, Someday, House Up On The Hill, It's Not Love, Every Road, and five others.

Bobby Watt "Homeland"

Bobby Watt has made Canada his home since 1975, but his music reflects the character and history (both past and present) of his native Scotland. When you hear him singing, he is unmistakenly Scottish, and can be both rousing and sensitive. He is yet another example of how Canada's culture has been enriched by those who have chosen to live here. Some of the music is new, some of it is old ... all of it is evocative, highly listenable. Selections include Homeland, Black Douglas, The Journey, Lovely Arran Maid, Buffalo Jump, the Flittin' Day, and eight others. Words for all songs are included.
