Album Notes

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.

"Waterbug Anthology 7 is perfectly consistent with its predecessors: high-quality music from relatively unknown, but highly talented singer-songwriters. Take a listen to Andrew Calhoun's "Hualapai Mountain," Chuck Brodsky's "Room Over the Bar," and Sloan Wainwright's "Cool Morning." This is some of the best music you've never heard." -Dirty Linen Magazine

"...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
