Record Review .- THE GOGEBIC RANGE GOGEBIC TAMBURITZANS

The strength of folk music is its participatory nature. Folk music can be RANGE TAMBURITZANS done by the whole family, like jogging or cross-country skiing. The problem is, of course, that it isn't. Folk music is largely the domain of the now 25-40 year old population bulge, a group whose interests grow more varied with their age (read: less interest in folk music).

The Gogebic Range Tamburitzans are an important exception to the rule: The group is good, the music is well done and represents an all too rare look at non-Appalachian based folk music, and above all, it's fun. To see the Tamburitzans perform live is a real treat, and this album capably shows us ,If~ that aspect of the music.
