Details:
Sixteen recordings. Who knew? That Salt Spring Island’s own Alan Moberg had recorded that much. The same age as Bob Dylan, he has continued to make music for decades.
And because of his exciting and extensive repertoire Alan is to be inducted into the BC Country Music Hall of Fame this August 17 at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam, BC.
Alan has been recording his best CD yet over the past six months, with Ramesh Meyers of Allowed Sound. REMEMBER ME has Songs of the Coast, Songs of the Country, Songs of the Heart. The CD will be available on iTunes by mid-August.
The heart of the collection is undoubtedly Rodney Crowell’s Please Remember Me, which Moberg delivers with the passion and power it demands. It has been released as a single to Canadian country radio. Blue Bayou and Roy Orbison fans, get ready! This will be the version to have, with soaring, bell-like vocals and Louisiana rhythms. And there’s something spiritual from his hero, Johnny Cash.
These are songs to Dream by, Dance to, Delight in. Alan explores perhaps previously uncharted territories of the heart, whether in the exquisitely slow and romantic accordion rhythms of The Ganges Waltz; or in Above the Clouds, a most tender song of love. Love has many forms and Sally June lyrically paints the caring and concerns of parents for a rural Native child who has left home for the city.
This is also vintage Moberg, in reprises like the Ashcroft Stampede, backed by the fine toe-tapping, swing-your-partner fiddle of Adrian Dolan of Victoria. Or his signature song, Saltwater Cowboy, which reflects his blended musical influences. Alan adds to his extensive body of British Columbia folk songs with Sunday Night Seine Boats depicting the heyday of the fishing industry.
Some of the finest island musicians have worked on the recording. Bill Henderson’s guitar(Chilliwack) breaks out in Alan’s hot country dance tune, Working Fool. Donn Tarris adds incredible dimensions with his soft and swaying slide guitar. Ramesh Meyers provides harmonies so fine they seem like shadows, as well as the solid and stylish bass underpinnings. A breakout for Moberg is a song co-written with his Vancouver Island friend, Ed Peekeekoot, of the Ahtahkakoop Cree First Nation. A saucy, sentient song called Red Man Plays the Blues, this duet was chosen as the first track.
Neil Gillon, of CBC in Kelowna, was the first to play a cut from Alan Moberg''s new CD, REMEMBER ME. He chose "I Saw the Sparrow''s Fall".
REMEMBER ME, by Alan Moberg, was launched internationally on internet radio on Friday night, July 11 at 7:00-9:00 pm Alabama time 5:00 - 7:00 pm B.C. time. Listen in at https://www.tradebit.com

*************
He is country. He is folk. He is cowboy. He is gospel. He is Western Roots. He is known as “The Saltwater Cowboy” for his blended identity, a singer of the coast and a singer of BC’s interior ranch lands. A singer of its diverse people, with an admiration for the First Nations . His 16th CD, REMEMBER ME has been released.
ALAN MOBERG will be inducted into the British Columbia Country Music Hall of Fame this August 2008. He has won the BMI (SOCAN) award for “an outstanding contribution of Canadian music”, as well as several other BC Country Music Association awards. No wonder the music director of Radio Toronto, CIUT, says “Alan is no doubt one of Canada’s best.”
Alan Moberg is BC’s most authentic troubadour. A “West Coast Stan Rogers”. He is a simple but powerful performer, just a man and his guitar, but a big presence. Moberg''s songs speak to the human condition, evoking notions of ongoing endurance, perseverance, travails and triumphs with simplicity and directness. He is honest and observant, his lyrics have courage and conviction. He celebrates the lives of ordinary men and women, giving them identity and dignity. He puts smiles on our faces and in our hearts. He gets toes tapping. Soon we''re all celebrating. Let his music uplift and enrich you.
He has an extensive body of original and moving songs of his beloved British Columbia, with traditional western themes like bravery, innocence survival, of his admiration for and the cross cultural friendships we share with First Nations people. He himself has been given an honoured Chief''s name, Hemidi by the Kwakiutl Nation. And is an adopted member of the Gitskan Nation. Howard White of Harbour Publishing says that “Moberg does for BC’s interior ranchland and coastal rainforest what Ian Tyson does for Alberta cow country…a moving portrayal of the west beyond the west by a virtuoso singer-songwriter.”
His choral songs have been sung from Czechoslovakia to Jamaica to Nashville, Tennessee, and of course in his own beautiful British Columbia. He is a contender for the Canadian Country Music Association’s Hall of Fame to be held in Vancouver for the first time in 12 years in the fall of 2009.
