Thanks for supporting my music by buying my CD. I plan
to create more CDs of new music in the coming months, as my academic
obligations diminish. I have a new CD of traditional folk music coming out
soon,
entitled Songs of Love, Death, and Redemption, and I have more projects in the pipeline.
In the meantime, you can now order my CD The Songs of Hafiz through
Paypal. Thanks again for your interest in my music, and for your continued
support.

"[James R. Newell's] ...musical inventiveness is graceful and inspired. He enters into the seriousness of Sufi spirituality, bringing with him an undeniably American directness that gives up none of its own individuality. If you know the Persian originals, you will recognize these, with a sense of aesthetic shock, as quintessential and beautiful. If you hear them for the first time in English, you will hear a damn good song."
Carl W. Ernst

The Songs of Hafiz is a unique collection of songs in the World/Folk
style. On this CD I've adapted the lyric poetry of 14th century Persian Sufi
poet Hafiz of Shiraz to American folk music idioms.
The result is an eclectic blend of world and folk melodies which effectively make available the classic beauty of Hafiz's lyrics to the modern, English speaking listener.
The
CD is $15.00 plus $2.50 shipping. ( If you buy more than one CD,
shipping is an additional $1.00 per item.)
