 Down Harmony Road
 ​by Ragged But Right
 Kathy Reid-Naiman is well known   throughout North America for her many   award winning Children’s Music   recordings produced by Ken Whiteley.
 Arnie Naiman is known for his   clawhammer banjo playing and has   recorded with Canadian old time   musicians Chris Coole, The Banjo Special,   and  Erynn Marshall and recently on Old   Time Banjo Festival- Rounder Records.
 As a duo they have been involved with  Toronto's folk music scene for over 30 years performing in various clubs, camps and festivals.

Down Harmony Road   includes old songs from the classic recording era learned from The Delmore Brothers, Uncle Dave Macon, Charlie Poole, Riley Puckett, The Boswell Sisters, The Hickory Nuts, Whitey & Hogan, The Carter Family, Washington Phillips and Lou Carter.  In addition are two newer gems from Lori Holland, and Rick Speyer.
They are joined by the fine playing and singing of Ken Whiteley, Victor Bateman, Chris Coole, Finest Kind and James Stephens

" .. they certainly chose some great sources to learn from. And it doesn't just have some good singing-almost every song is a gem ......
Even if you think you know all of these songs and would probably prefer the original recordings to any possible modern cover you ought to buy this CD." 
      Pete Peterson  The Old Time Herald

“Arnie and Kathy sound like they have been singing their whole lives...and they pretty much have. This is a wonderful and tasteful collection of songs and old time harmony duets.”     David Holt

“Down Harmony Road” is old time music at it’s finest. Kathy and Arnie make old songs new while demonstrating their love and virtuosity of playing and singing styles along with good taste and accessible arrangements. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather listen to."     Cathy Fink

"Wow, what a nice recording!  One of the interests I have is in the ability of performers to create a good sound with a minimum of instruments and studio special work.  I think that this Saturday's show will feature duet singing, with your disc  showcased as a prime example."
Mark Richardson - Host of "Roots For Breakfast"  WFHB

This recording is dedicated in memory of our dear friend and
artist John Martin who illustrated the amazing cover of this CD.
