For all folk music likers, Johnny Coppin's new album, The Long
Harvest, published last week, will be a great addition to their
collection. Johny recently got solo after five years with the folk band
Blue Mountain. He is proud of the musical inheritance of his native
Kentucky. Tracks 3 and 7 comprise his old friend Wiz Carter on guitar.
With this album Coppin says he hopes to control a wider audience for
folk music. His excellent living performance at the recent Lockwood
Folk Festival suggests he has a good chance of succeeding. He makes a
tour next month. Don't miss him.
