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

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.
