Minstrels of Mayhem - Our Music Catalog

AHEM! About our music ... The Minstrels of Mayhem have released 8 recordings under their own label, M.O.M. Productions. Six of those releases are still available. The music of the Minstrels of Mayhem is available below with check or credit card or at any of the Minstrels of Mayhem shows with cash or check. Their first release was called *A Brisk Walk* and was only available on tape. It is out of print and will never be made again, so if you are one of the lucky ones to own a copy, treat it like a collector's item! The second release was a tape called *From the Cuckoo's Nest.* It is also out of print. We have a limited number still available, but by special order only. BUT, if you don't have the above-mentioned tapes, you have the chance to get the 21 songs on one compilation CD, aptly named *THEN.* The re-mastering makes this disc a suitable salute to the early years. These were followed by LIVE, NOW, and Adventures in Storyville (listed in no particular order here.) Next, *Rocky Road,* was released Memorial Day weekend of 2001. *Blind Man's Bluff,* became available in early March of 2004 and response has been very good! Try it, you'll like it! *Songs from the Tinshack,* Jerry Barry's personal work, was released in early 2006. *You Can Take the Boy Out of the Country,* Ty Billings' personal work, was released mid 2006. These are not Minstrels of Mayhem album per se, but the musicians will be recognizable to the fans. For more details about each of the releases, read on! Pass the word. Tell a friend. Enjoy the music. * * *

The Minstrels of Mayhem NOW
