QUEEN FAREENA - 2009
Carmichael’s second offering
on Dogstreet Records, reveals his
continuing mastery of authentic “olde tyme” styles ranging from ragtime to country, “hokum blues” to
Delta blues and even a touch of Dixieland jazz. In sync with the supple rhythm section of Jean-Paul
Gaster (drums), Johnny “Lawless” Ray Carroll (doghouse bass), Scott Rich (trumpet),John McVey
(trombone),Alexander Mitchell (fiddle) and Brian Simms (accordion), Carmichael sings with wit and
expression, picks guitar and banjo, tickles the xylophone and even rattles the bones. Music this
uplifting and energizing should be dispensed like a tonic to a grateful public.

OLD STOCK - 2005
Down to its honest core, the 10-track Old Stock is barefoot,front-porch, sipping-sweet-tea-or-something-stronger music at its most enjoyable, the kind of roots-righteous effort that Roy Bookbinder might add to his year-end “Best Of” list if he had a chance to hear it.
