CAT & THE FIDDLE
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander
Monday mornin', standin' on the corner
Pardon me, if we're getting in your way
We'll tip our hats, be ya' native here or foreigner
Drop a coin if you're likin' what we play
SINGIN' HEY-DIDDLE -DEE, ANSWER ME THIS RIDDLE
HEY-DIDDLE-DO, TELL ME WHAT YOU WILL
DANCE ALL DAY WITH THE CAT & THE FIDDLE
COME & LAY WITH THE HEATHER ON THE HILL!
Ward the cold from your fingers as you're clappin' hands
Keep the rhythm with the tappin' of your feet
Fiddle music mingling with the rappin' bands
Blind men dance as they're walkin' down the street
We'll sing our songs of places that are faraway
Kings and castles, heroes brave and bold
Never travel farther than a bar away
Whiskey keeps our spirits from the cold
Tomorrow we'll be just where we were yesterday
Now we find that the night is getting long
We'll disappear into the dusty alleyway
All you hear is the echo of the song

Alexander James Adams's Balance of Nature is a wonderful album. The songs are wonderful, musically and lyrically, and He of the Sidhe is an incredible example of it. Nearly all the songs are about transitions of some sort, or about moving forward, and they are all worth listening to.
Thanks for putting out such a wonderful album. Kamani
Alexander James Adams is one of my all time favorite musicians; his music has seen me through both dark times and fair. His musicianship is excellent, a master Bard, songwriter, and fiddler.
Cannot recommend his work enough; his music is exceptional! gaycelt
Weyes Blood expands on this year's acclaimed album ”Titanic Rising” with a handful of alternate takes, recorded alongside Ariel Rechtshaid. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 23, 2019
Natalie Mering's latest is woozy, hallucinatory folk that swirls and swoons, working with shadow and light, hope and loss. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 10, 2016
This is exactly the album that I need right now. Especially Warlock's Oath and Fang into Vein. Of course, the entire album is glorious spooky goodness. I'm in love. <3 Sai Chi
