Clearly I need 1) more Priscilla Herdman albums and 2) more versions of "John O'Dreams"! I only have one of each.
The Priscilla Herdman is Darkness Into Light, which I bought after hearing her by chance at a Vermont folk festival and falling immediately in love with her voice; somehow I'd never thought to see out other albums, though! I guess it's because I'd never run into anyone who talked about knowing her stuff or recognized her voice when a song came on in the car, so I mentally filed her with the more obscure of the folksingers I heard at random points in the '90s or early aughts: beautiful voice, love the songs, probably has no web presence, may well have no other albums. If I'd thought to think about it for any length of time, of course, I'd have realized that googling would answer all these questions in very few seconds, but I didn't. So thank you for the tip!
And "John O'Dreams" I know from the Cherish the Ladies version. Another lovely rendition from a lovely album by a band I only have one cd of, although in this case I knew they'd done other stuff and just haven't gotten around to acquiring more. I definitely didn't realize so many others had covered that song, though. First, time to listen to this one on loop, now that it's on my mind...
(And I've never heard Bill Caddick at all. I will remedy that.)
