Widsith

Widsith

Widsith has been played on NTS in shows including Mikey Young, featured first on 4 December 2018. Songs played include Climb On and Rust In The Rain.

Widsith is a rootsy pair from Hicksville on Long Island, NY – Bob Teer, song writer, on lead vocals and guitars, and Ed McCafferty on vocals, electric, acoustic, bottleneck and steel guitars, plus a bit of bass! They recorded one and only LP album Maker Of Song (This is a private press released in 1972 by the Alithia label (Alithia 9101)) .The duo seem to do a bit of overdubbing in the studio – expanding out their sound with a mix of guitars, some rhythms, and other elements – but there's still a pretty stripped down sound overall, as if you're catching Teer and McCafferty trading lines back and forth on the stage. Some of the best cuts are the folksiest ones, which we prefer a bit more to the bluesier cuts – and titles include "Scylla", "Rust In The Rain", "Dazey Me", "A Child's Fathers Song", "Climb On", and "The Mighty Owl".

Other musicians featured on the LP include: Mark Jacobson: Flute, Dennis Garcia: Bass and vocals, Tony Pacheco: Congas and percussion, Harry Barber: Keyboards, Ian Bennet: Tenor Sax and Bobby Colomby of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" fame: Drums.
