Notes: 1) “Banjoman” is a CD album tribute to American songwriter and musician Derroll Adams. 2) The majority of the tracks in this collection are newly-recorded versions of songs both from Adam’s songbook and repertoire: tracks 1, 3, 4, 18 are traditionals; tracks 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 15, 16, 17, 19 were written by Derroll Adams; track 21 was co-written by Derroll Adams and Tucker Zimmerman; track 9 is a cover version of a Carter Family song; track 10 is a cover version of a Jimmie Rodgers song; track 12 is a new version of a Donovan song about Adams that was originally included in the Donovan’s record album “A Gift From A Flower To A Garden”; tracks 13 and 14 were written by English singer-songwriters Ralph McTell and Allan Taylor; track 20 was written by singer-songwriter Tucker Zimmerman. 3) Track 17 is same version already released on the 1976 Donovan album “Slow Down World” with the title “My Love Is True (Love Song)”. This should be true also of track 5, but please check back for confirmation once the Donovan post is published. 4) On track 17, Lee shares bass-player credits with David Hungate. 5) CD Album comes with a 60-page booklet including a biographical essay by Hans Theessink with interviews to Derroll Adams and some of the other players, liner notes by Theessink and Arlo Guthrie and lyrics. Please refer to original packaging for these.
