Robin Flower & Libby McLaren
Steelhead in the Riffles
Listen to Sample Track
Robin Flower & Libby McLaren bring wit, searing virtuosity and warm humanity to Steelhead in the Riffles , their fourth collaboration. The CD offers 24 original tunes and four traditional Irish songs arranged into 12 brilliantly constructed sets, covering a wide range of material. But the bottom line is that these women are having the time of their lives, and it shows. Roaring from delicate to powerhouse and back to pristine, their music is moving, fun and dazzlingly imaginative. The intricate interplay between the piano and bright mandolin is joyful perfection. Their years of playing together have gained them a musical intimacy that is extraordinary. As they anticipate each other’s direction, their playing becomes a brilliant dance of unity and harmony, adding a unique and enriching element of excitement to each piece. (excerpted from Indie.com review)

Last, but certainly not least are two of Margaret's solo albums. The
first, released in Germany by Lobel Records, and the ensuing 6-week
tour, garnered great reviews and received extensive airplay, with the
single, "I Want the World to Know," hitting the pop charts. While on
tour, Margaret wrote the title song (Waiting to Go On) to the second
album, also released by Lobel. Both CDs feature members of the WCA
family: Millie Whiteside, Kevin DiSimone, Bob Christianson and Janie
Barnett. According to Margaret,"My favorite way to make music is with
the collective talents and energies of the best musicians around. Of
course you can do great things by yourself with today's technology-but
it's not half as much fun!"
