The cool breezes of Maine's northlands have flowed through the songs of David Mallett for four decades. He has released fourteen albums of his own, and written songs for an eclectic list of artists that includes Pete Seeger, Alison Kraus, Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, John Denver and the Muppets. His tune, "The Garden Song" ("inch by inch, row by row . . . "), is one of America's most popular folk songs, having been recorded more than 150 times and sung around the world. Mallett's songs are filled with passion, evocative imagery, and a sense of the inevitable passage of time. The struggle of the common man and the loss of small towns and landscapes is the subject of many of his songs. Though rooted in a particular place, Mallett's music speaks to the essential things that move us all.
