Twenty new recordings of previously issued songs that are hard to get include âFirst Time at a Warâ the plight of a young disabled soldier and âTarpaper Shacks,â why a minerâs heaven would be better than life on earth.

Produced by Jesse Kahn and Pieter Groenveld, Si Kahn is joined by the superb harmonies of European Rounder recording artists Ygdrassil, Annemarieke Coenders & Linde Nijland. Thanksgiving is Si Kahnâs fifteenth CD.

Title song âThanksgivingâ sets the tone of fighting back while appreciating what we have. âWhoâs Watching the Manâ takes on the privacy intrusions of the Patriot Act. âSixteenâ a celebration of passion even after 50, âRack âEm Up Eddieâ captures the pool hall as a shield against deep personal loss, while âGovernment on Horsebackâ humorously uses the old Hollywood Western to laugh and exposes the old Reagan and the new Bush.

Thanksgiving is a companion to
In My Heart, (SCR-33), also a retrospective of many of Si Kahnâs best and most covered songs: âAragon Millâ, âWild Rose of the Mountainâ, âPeople Like Youâ and âLady of the Harbor.â Weâre Still Here (SCR-57) released in celebration of Siâs 60th birthday in 2004 contains songs not recorded anywhere else including the power anti-war âWhen the War is Doneâ and âThe Gapâ , a funny but true telling of income disparity. On this recording, Si was joined by Liz Meyer on harmony vocals, and Joost van Es on violin.
