La Bedaya Wala Nehaya - هبة طوجي لا بداية ولا نهاية

Whiskey Before Breakfast is a song that I learned as a child when my interest at the time was mainly bluegrass music, something I never was very good at but loved very much. Since those early days, I have abandoned the guitar pick and prefer to play fingerstyle guitar. I was inspired to record this old traditional tune by my interest in the famous Montana band, Mission Mountain Wood Band. I loved their combination of bluegrass and other genres of the time. Their album In Without Knocking was always on my list of favorite recordings, and I particularly liked the album cover which is the painting by CMR titled, In Without Knocking. 

I attended Charles M. Russel High School, narrowly graduating in 1981. I wasn’t much of a guitar player and an even worse student, but I never gave up on music. My early musical days began with piano lessons in the first grade and continued through high school. I was a terrible music student as well, preferring to play by ear rather than read music. Little did I know that developing the ability to play by ear would come in handy the first time I picked up a guitar when I was twelve years old. 

My friends all had diverse musical tastes often fueled by records left behind by college bound siblings. This is also the time I became fascinated by recordings. I tried my best to figure out how sounds were made and recorded as I listened to these various recordings. I was amazed by the bluegrass flat pickers of the day. I was always in pursuit of the guitar, the effects pedal, the amp, whatever I thought was going to help me make that sound that I just knew I could duplicate, but was so elusive. 

I never lost the desire to search for next new method of recording or performing. This song is a trip back in time for me and it’s a pleasure to revisit those days. I can no longer ride my horse Ed through the wheat fields that surrounded my fathers’ house in those days. But, I can sit in front of a microphone with an acoustic guitar and re-live those good moments.

[المقطع الأول]
ديرني في بالك، يا لي نهواك
أنا قلبي اختارك، قلبي اختارك
وما صبت دواك
اليوم راك معايا وغدوة يا درا؟
هذي حوال الدنيا، حوال الدنيا
حلوة ومرة

Think of me
Oh you who I love
My heart chose you
And I don’t know what to do
Now you’re by my side
But tomorrow, who knows?
That’s how the world is
Sweet and bitter at the same time

[اللازمة]
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي دخلت لقلبي
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي ساكن قلبي

No one but you
No one but you
No one but you has entered my heart
No one but you
No one but you
There's no one but you in my heart

[المقطع الثاني]
حالي محيّرني، ليلي مسهّرني
وعلاش يا عمري، حرام يا عمري
تعذّب فيا
الربيع ما يدوم، والورد يذبال
وأنا حالي معذور، حالي معذور
ديرني في البال

Your love puzzles me
At night I can't sleep
Why do you make me suffer so much ?
Spring does not last forever
And roses wilt in the end
I'm in chaos, I'm in chaos
Think of me

[اللازمة]
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي دخلت لقلبي
غير أنت، غير أنت، غير أنت
الي ساكن قلبي

No one but you
No one but you
No one but you has entered my heart
No one but you
No one but you
There's no one but you in my heart

Fairuz Medley | فيروزيات  (Alaa Wardi & Haifa Kamal)

سلام.. وأنا همشي من سكات
 وبودع أملي فيك
ياحلم بسرعة فات
 لما اتعشمت بيك 
جاية باسلم عليك 
ودعني باهتمام.. 

سلام، أنا تقريبًا مشيت,, أشوف وشك بخير.
أنا تقريبًا نسيت، ومفرقاك من كتير
بعد لقانا الأخير مش بستطعم كلام

ياسنين عمري وبقيتها .. اللي أنا ماعشتهاش
ياقصة جيت قريبتها .. فجأة ماكملتهاش
ياحكاية أما ابتديتها,, نزل فصل الختام

سلام ... 
أنت وأنا باختصار 
إن مافيش اتفاق
جوانا فيه انكسار، برانا فيه كبرياء
مع أننا م الفراق محناش طلعين سُلام

Oumniya

Internationally acclaimed as a mesmerizing live performer, Cary Morin’s soul-stirring voice and jaw-dropping fingerstyle guitar playing have captivated audiences for decades.  

Dial into Morin’s career catalog and discover a musical chameleon whose sonic landscapes fuse together the best of American roots music. “Cary is a unique and brilliant player, songwriter and singer. I have huge respect for his style and technique,” says legendary multi-instrumentalist and songwriter David Bromberg. “If you haven’t heard him yet, you should.”  

Morin’s latest project, Innocent Allies, honors his family’s Native American heritage and is inspired by the genius of famous western artist, Charles Marion Russell. “This record is a masterpiece worthy of its place among the great works of art it was created to honor,” says Trina Shoemaker, the Grammy-winning producer who mixed and mastered the album at her Alabama studio. 

Morin’s music has reached millions as he’s traveled the world with prestigious performances at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Paris Jazz Festival, and Folk Alliance International in addition to others. Morin has been featured on international television and radio programs hosted by the BBC and NPR. He has had the honor of sharing stages as a collaborator or supporting act for musical luminaries such as Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Osborne, David Bromberg, and Arlo Guthrie, to name a few.

Morin’s musical talents and creative contributions have garnered a multitude of awards and accolades: two-time winner of the Indigenous Music Award for Best Blues CD (2019 and 2017); Independent Music Award for Best Blues CD (2018); Native Arts and Cultures Fellowship (2018); and First Peoples Fund Artist in Business Leadership fellowship (2017). He received an honorable mention in the 2018 International Songwriting Competition.

Morin has also achieved international recognition as a collaborator, dancer and musical theater composer. His song, “Ole Midlife Crisis,” written and performed with the Pura Fé Trio, reached #17 on France’s iTunes blues charts in 2011.  With the Red Willow Dancers, he performed in Japan as a special guest of the world-renowned Kodo Drummers. Back home in Northern Colorado, he co-authored the play, “Turtle Island,” a critically-acclaimed 50-cast-member production that sold out for two consecutive years.  Morin’s musical journey began in the late 1970s and burgeoned in the late 1990s when he founded The Atoll, a rock-reggae-blues band that toured the United States for over 13 years.  

Born in Billings, Montana, he hails from a rich cultural heritage as a Crow tribal member with Assiniboine Sioux and Black ancestry. He spent the formative years of his youth in Great Falls, Montana picking through guitar standards at neighborhood gatherings.
Morin currently maintains a busy performance schedule as a solo artist, as a duo with his partner Celeste, and with his band Cary Morin & Ghost Dog, a high-energy roots rock band. He also collaborates with renowned Indigenous artist, Pura Fé. When not captivating audiences across the US and Europe, he finds solace and inspiration in Northern Colorado, which he proudly calls home.
