Are you a Cat lover? Do you love to listen to Irish Drinking Songs?
Combine Cats and Celts and you have Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers, a CD for the wonderfully demented kitty cat fantatic. Listen to music you've heard on St. Patrick's Day or by The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers, The Wolfe Tones, and The Irish Rovers. Then laugh as all your favorite Irish Drinking Songs are rewritten with lyrics about cats. Your love of Celtic music will never be the same!
My name is Marc Gunn. I sing a lot of Irish drinking songs with my band, Brobdingnagian Bards. I was on the phone in 2003 when I started singing a version of "Wild Rover" about cats. Then a revelation struck. I love Celtic music. I love cats. Lets combine the two together.
 So I did. In October 2005, I officially released Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers. The album was one of the Top 20 CDs on CDBaby the week it was released. It is the #1 Song Parody song and a Top 10 Celtic album. The reviews are flowing in. Cat lovers everywhere LOVE this CD.
So in the summer of 2007, I released Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion. This album featured all the original Irish songs that I parodied on the first CD. Again, it was hit.
Now I am ready for the next CD of cat parody songs. It's called Whiskers in the Jar. The album is due to be released in the Fall of 2008. However, once again I'm in need.
It's not cheap to record a vanity album like this. The first CD I did my best to keep the price tag down, and it still cost me over six thousand dollars. Fortunately, I paid that off. But now I want to record another one. I expect this one to cost close to ten thousand dollars!
You can help me complete this noble tribute to our feline friends by sponsoring the new CD OR adopt the first two CDs. It's that simple. And your money goes a long way to helping an independent musician realize my dream.
If you'd like to find out how the recording is going, subscribe to my cat Torre's Cat Drinking Tails newsletter or read my Cat Music Blog and Cat Lovers Podcast. There's always something interesting going on in each. And for that matter, you'll find out when I write new songs.
If you are a cat lover like I am, I sincerely hope that you find Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers to be an absolute joy. And if you're not a cat lover or hate Irish drinking songs, I hope to change your mind.
