   ï Old fashioned folk singer Steve Suffet releases new CD, "Low Rent District."   
      
   ï CD Baby to handle distribution.   
      
   Steve Suffet's newest CD, "Low Rent District," was released in New York City   
   this past Thursday, September 25. CD Baby, the on-line music retailer, will   
   handle all Internet and mail sales at this time, and they should have copies   
   ready for purchase within two weeks. Other distributors may be added later.   
   Otherwise, the CD will be available from the artist in person. The price is   
   $15.   
      
   Steve Suffet is best described as an old fashioned folk singer in the People's   
   Music tradition. His repertoire is a mixture of railroad songs, trucker songs,   
   miner and mill hand songs, cowboy songs, union songs, old time country music.   
   ballads, blues, ragtime, Gospel, bluegrass, topical-political songs, and   
   whatever else tickles his fancy. "Low Rent District" proves the point. Eight of   
   the eighteen tracks are songs Steve wrote himself in various traditional folk   
   styles, and four are his arrangements of traditional folk songs. The remaining   
   tracks include a cowboy song from 1911, a Carter Family song, a song by   
   contemporary songwriter Si Kahn, two little know Woody Guthrie songs, and   
   Guthrie's version of a traditional Gospel song. There is quite a variety of   
   genres, styles, themes, and moods. You will find ragtime, Gospel, blues,   
   old-time country music, union songs, peace songs, an Anglo-Irish version of an   
   ancient Scottish ballad, and even a country waltz which tells the true story of   
   how Steve met his wife forty years ago. The title song is about urban   
   gentrification and the loss of affordable goods, services, and housing.   
      
   The Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City will host a concert on Saturday   
   evening, January 31, 2009, to celebrate the release of "Low Rent District." The   
   Peoples' Voice Cafe is now located in the Community Church of New York at 40   
   East 35th Street in Midtown Manhattan. The show starts at 8:00 PM. Steve's good   
   friend Anne Price will be sharing and alternating sets with him.   
      
   Until then, please go to cdbaby.com/all/suffet to check the availability of   
   "Low   
   Rent District."
