All Vvovero 4740 Mai BREAKFAST is a FEAST! > at our new breakfast bar Mon—Sat.7-11 am Sun.9-11 am In the Fifth Street Public Market, 5th 6 High, Eugene (503) 683-6500 TH(RkU<ARO McCaslin and Ringer Folk Duo Jim Ringer and Mary McCaslin, nationally known folk and coun try-western singers, will return to Eugene for a Friday, June 22 con cert at the WOW Hall. "We call ourselves folk singers because we can't find another word that fits the songs we do,” McCaslin said last year when she and husband Ringer were the highlight of the Willamette Valley Folk Festival here. They have re leased a dozen solo or duo al bums, mostly on the Philo or Fly ing Fish labels, including McCas lin’s Prairie in the Sky and Way Out West. Those who know how difficult it is to get a first-class folk album produced these days know that Ringer's recent album, En dangered Species, is really about themselves. They epitomize the best of a dying breed: the per forming artist on tour. McCaslin's high, sweet, pure voice sings a curious blend of cowgirl laments and Motown pop hits from the 1960s, while Ringer’s gravelly baritone rumbles out bal lads of "drinking, dashed hopes and death." Together, they have perfected an appealing close harmony style of singing evident in their Bramble and the Rose album of a few years ago. They might just sing the title song, writ ten for their wedding, "But don’t ask for it," Mary says. "It's too personal to do unless we feel like it." Ringer has a rugged charisma that lends total credibility to his singing, but he uses that gruff ex terior to make his warm-hearted, touching songs take you that much more by surprise. "I used to be a logger and a construction worker until I found out I could make a living doing this and hav ing fun," he said. On a recent appearance on the nationally broadcast Prairie Home Companion, Ringer had some fun faking a radio commer cial for his new line of "Jim Ringer Jeans." These "designer" jeans came pre-stained with Jack Daniels spills, pre-patched and ready to give the wearer "the aura Jim Ringer and Mary McCaslin sing and play country/folk at the WOW Hall, Friday, June 22. of an authentic folk musician." McCaslin gets her kicks from scrambling her set list, jumping from a Sons of the Pioneers serenade to the Superemes' You Keep Me Hanging On. Many of McCaslin's songs take a wistful look at the West, and what might have been. She moved to the Los Angeles area from In dianapolis when she was a young girl, found more sequins there than sagebrush, and never quite got over it: / dreamed I was a cowboy. out on the western plains. Yo-de-lady I ve been lately feeling weirdly and quite strange. Whoopi-ti I try to make it by on cornbread and spare change. I think I've had enough of California and its ways. Now I wander down the neon streets with no one else to Oh. Hollywood, my home away from home on the range. The pair are dedicated to their music, even though McCaslin ack nowledged in an interview that it gets rougher each year to do what they do so well and support them selves. Folk music in the live, au thentic tradition may have been killed by the cassette: "Some of our best fans come up to us and say, I just loved your version of Black Waters or Sin City. We have tapes of all your albums,'" she said. "If they were really folk music fans, they would BUY the albums, since the artists get nothing and record companies won't notice if folk music is only circulated by cassette," she con tinued. Friday's concert will begin at 8:30 pm with the doors opening at 8. Tickets are $5 in advance, $6 the day of the show, and are avail able at Earth River Records, EMU Main Desk, Balladeer Music, House of Records, Literary Lion, and the WOW Hall at Eighth Ave. and Lincoln St. —Tom Hall IVERSARY) POw,, “Orr July 7th — 4 to 6 p.m. Valley River Inn Advance: $2.50 adults, $1.00 children (5-12) At the door: $3.00 adults, $1.50 children (5-12) DOOR PRIZES • Live Music By • KLCC GENERAL O’CAROLAN’S STORE Ice Cream Donated by...
