Scrabbling At The Locks


Hallelujah, Anyway -Remembering Tom Cora
It's A Brand New Day - Tom Cora Live At The Knitting Factory


Two Separate Links!!!!
Inspired by our good friend over at Infinite Machine, here are 2 Tom Cora albums, the first really a tribute, though Mr. Cora is involved in some of the songs. The second live recordings from the Knitting Factory. An evocative spirit on the Cello, and a curious mainstay on the Downtown Scene, Cora crossed boundaries with rare ease and beauty.

Struck Down by cancer in '98, these are his 2 primary post-humous releases.
