| At long last, Stringband is on CD. The Indispensable Stringband is a 46-song, box-set retrospective of Stringband’s music, 1972-2002, and it is just $35 and a few key-strokes away. The collection contains all of Stringband’s greatest hits, plus never-before-released cuts, and some new pieces. TIS also includes a 50-page history of Stringband’s Life and Times by Gary Cristall. I haven’t had the chance to update this site yet - soon, I promise -but meanwhile, the album is done and can be mailed to you. It should also be available through discerning record stores. To order, head for the order form.

| "Like Gordon Lightfoot or Monique Leyrac, like Margaret Atwood or Robertson Davies, Stringband made you proud to be Canadian. They skated through the coffee houses and concert halls with the grace of Bobby Orr and the passion of Rocket Richard." - Stuart McLean "Stringband searched relentlessly for what they thought was a Canadian sound. Not finding it, they perhaps invented it. -Douglas Fetherling For more about Stringband, see Gary Cristall Recalls Stringband. For still more about Stringband, see Whatever Happened to Stringband.
