Jody Stecher continues his long colorful musical career with a new bluegrass-style album featuring 8 of his own songs plus 4 old favorites that are given a bluegrass setting. Jody’s music has strong traditional “old school” elements so it might surprise some that his first choice for support musicians was Mile Twelve which calls itself a “modern string band”. They recorded together just after Jody’s 77th birthday. It was a perfect fit.
Bluegrass Unlimited founder Pete Kuykendall, moved by Jody’s emotive singing, gave him the nickname “Instant Lonesome”. Such singing is plentiful on Mile 77 along with duet, trio and quartet harmonies from the members of the band, and memorable instrumental solos and backup.

Salem 66 were founded by Judy Grunwald, Beth Kaplan and Susan Merriam in Boston in 1981. A major part of a thriving Boston scene that produced bands like Mission of Burma and Dinosaur Jr (Dinosaur Jrs first New York show was notably an opening slot for Salem 66 at Folk City), the band were ahead of their time.
They were one of the few women-led bands in their scene, and made their mark with an adventurous blend of arty post-punk (they notably covered Wires Fragile) and melodic pop. Between 1984 and 1990 they released one self-titled EP, 2 singles and 4 albums, 1985s A Ripping Spin, 1987s Frequency & Urgency, 1988s Natural Disasters, National Treasures, and 1990s Down The Primrose Path (produced by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie who went on to produce Radiohead’s Pablo Honey and Hole’s Live Through This), all on the venerable New York imprint Homestead Records, label home to bands like Sonic Youth, Big Black and The Chills. The band earned comparisons to R.E.M., The Talking Heads and The Velvet Underground from The New York Times, and further praise from outlets like Rolling Stone, CREEM and the Village Voice. They shared stages with The Replacements, Mission of Burma, the Go-Betweens, the Wipers, the Saints and the Raincoats, and toured across the country on multiple occasions, but despite their prominence in the 80s, the Salem 66 catalog has been out of print for decades and their music has never been available on streaming.
