This is the first edition of Stranger Songs that I’ve recorded since the day of horrific and unfathomable terrorism committed by Hamas in Israel on October 7, and the entirely predictable consequences that followed in Gaza. I despair for the innocent victims in Israel and in Gaza who have been injured and killed these last few weeks. May there soon be peace, shalom, salaam, in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank; in Ukraine, and everywhere else on Earth that is torn apart by war. These are just a few of the songs I was reminded of in the days that followed October 7.

A very interesting interview. I've just ordered Terry Thal's book. And a brilliant selection of songs at the end.
