THE HALFWAY GROUND (2007)
What do
you call it when Atwater-Donnelly and five remarkable friends get together to play great old-time gospel? You call it Jerimoth Hill after the highest point in little Rhode Island, home of Elwood Donnelly and
his wife Aubrey Atwater. With this, their tenth recording, Aubrey on mountain dulcimer, banjo and mandolin, and Elwood on lead vocals and guitar are joined by Cathy Clasper-Torch, fiddle and cello; Heidi
Cerrigione, autoharp; John Cerrigione, bass; Uriah Donnelly, piano and lead guitar; and Kevin Doyle, percussion.With The Halfway Ground,
Elwood Donnelly — of Atwater-Donnelly — presents his long-awaited gospel album. This endeavor summarizes years of research throughout those hidden pockets of America where music, as an integral part of daily life, weaves an emotional thread through work and play, commitment and faith, endurance and hope, struggle and peace. The Halfway Ground, where the hereafter is ever-present in conversation and song, and greener pastures are a simple assurance.
The result is the glorious five-part harmony of Jerimoth Hill. So, breathe deeply as these songs meander their way through your discerning ear and into your heart to meet your spirit on
The Halfway Ground.

is a treasury of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, as well as original pieces. Enjoy their resplendent vocals and thoughtful presentation, played on guitar, mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, mandolin, fiddle, piano, harmonica, bones, bodhran, wooden spoons, and feet.
In their ongoing quest as gatekeepers of traditional folk music and dance, Aubrey and Elwood treat their life's work as a rescue mission: finding old songs, writing new songs, and as always,
giving voice to the quiet. The songs were collected during many years of performing throughout Appalachia, as well as other places in the United States where traditional folk music still melds with daily
life.

01 Angel Gabriel (4:20) |
|
07 Fighting for Strangers/Johnny, I Hardly Knew You (2:39)
"Johnny" is set to the tune of
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again". A rather different picture of a return home. |
|
02 Problem With Words (4:16) -- Elwood Donnelly |
|
08 Omie Wise (2:58)
This ballad is based on the murder of Naomi Wise in Randolph County, NC in 1808.
|
|
03 Love and Freedom (2:37) -- Mary Brooksbank |
|
09 Star of The County Down (7:44) |
|
04 Kilkelly (7:10) --Peter and Steve Jones
This is the most requested song that Aubrey and Elwood have
sung over the years. It is a poignant song about the separation of Irish family members in the 19th century, told as a series of real letters (found in an attic in Baltimore) over 32 years. |
|
10 My Love (3:28) |
|
05 Kinlock of Kinlock (2:02) (instrumental) |
|
11 Beginning with You (3:26) -- Elwood Donnelly
Peace will come later, at best
Find yourself comfort
and rest for a while
As you empty your pockets again with a smile
With hope that you'll manage to win the world over
Believing in miracles time and again ... |
|

LABOR AND LOVE (1988)
