Solitudes Volume Three

Dan Gibson - Solitudes Volume Three

released on cassette in 1981

Here it is, the first post of the year. As someone helpfully wrote "thunder" on the cover of my copy, there are some sounds of thunder on side 1.

From the liner notes:

Side 1: "Among the Giant Trees of the Wild Pacific Coast" is a haven for natural sounds. Streams twist through this forest of Red Cedar, Western Hemlock, and Douglas Fir. Thunderstorms build and coat the moss laden ground. Along the river a Fox Sparrow and MacGillivray's Warbler sing, and as the delta appears, expanding into coastal waters, the peeps of the Black Oyster Catcher welcomes any explorer.

WILDLIFE SPECIES FEATURED

Fox Sparrow, Pacific Tree Frogs, Varied Thrush, White-crowned Sparrow, MacGillivray's Warbler, Winter Wren, Red-shafted Flicker, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Bald Eagle (adult and young), Black Oystercatcher

Side 2: "Spring Morning on the Prairies" contrasts the peaceful image of swaying grain in the easy breeze to the cacophony of migrating and resident wildlife that frequent the scattered sloughs. The natural energy of the Vesper Sparrow, Killdeer, American Coot, and the Marbled Godwit characterize these active sloughs.

WILDLIFE SPECIES FEATURED

Western Meadowlark, Vesper Sparrow, Canada Geese, Killdeer, Yellow-headed Blackbird, American Coot, Long-billed Marsh Wren, Red-winged Blackbird, Savannah Sparrow, Marbled Godwit, Mallard Ducks
