Future Releases

Mudthumper Music is in posession of some vintage Busted Toe Mudthumper tapes from 1969 recorded in Hollywood and Berkeley, which would make an interesting CD. They are a bit rough,but the spirit shines through. They were a young band with ideas of their own. Currently looking for more tapes to round them out. Anyone with tapes or leads is welcome to email Walt.

Also announcing release of a "Highwoods Live" CD, a mixture of live recordings from various venues from the mid-70's. Hot!

Walt has plans for a CD full of tunes on the five-string which he learned playing plectrum banjo in a traditional New Orleans style jazz band. These tunes are not far outside the old-time fiddle tune tradition, are fun to play, and will make banjo players' fingers gnarly!

Mudthumper also has plans to release Clare Milliner's collection of over 1400 fiddle tunes in standard music notation, along with references to source recordings, and a database of the work searchable by title, fiddle tuning, key, source, and collector. These tunes, as computer files, will contain midi files, which could also be made available for people who just can't figure out how to read music.
