All Genres > Folk > Modern Folk > VARIOUS ARTISTS: Independent Artists Sampler '99

Waterbug is an artists' cooperative CD label founded by Chicago singer-songwriter Andrew Calhoun in 1992. The anthologies are funded by the artists and sold cheap in order to help one another get heard. Independent Artists '99 includes 4 tracks by artists imported from Colum Sands' Spring Records, from Northern Ireland. Mary Melena's "Some Loves" and Susan McClelland's "Falling From Grace" are exclusive to this recording.

"It was much easier to find out who was worth listening to when the whole folk scene was driven solely by people's hunger for meaning. These days I look first to Andrew Calhoun's Waterbug label." - Bob Franke

"...one of America's most consistent independent labels." - Folk Roots, UK

"Andrew Calhoun's Waterbug showcases, like his label, are wonderful not just because of the music and the performances, but because of their great artistic integrity, their sense of love, excitement, and risk taking, and because Andrew has superb taste..." -Bob McWilliams, KANU (folk dj listserv)

"I am continually amazed at the quality of the music/artists available through Waterbug. You people are superb." -C. Huegel, Tarpon Springs, FL

"The Collections that I recently ordered were simply incredible. I would like to place an order for the several artists below..." -S. Arnold, Belle Mead, NJ
