Just posted a lengthy interview with Cedric of the Bards about their new Firefly-inspired CD, "On the Drift."

Quote:

Why an entire CD? Not that we’re not grateful, mind you…

We’re gluttons for punishment. Really, my muse decided that she likes Firefly, and she kept giving me songs about it. So what could we do? We couldn’t sing them on stage at the renaissance festivals. We had to find an audience, or my muse wouldn’t let me sleep at night. Whenever we did find an audience for those songs, people would say, “You could make a whole album devoted to Firefly!”

That, and I decided that if I couldn’t match Michelle Dockrey for quality, I’d outdo her with quantity. I mean, have you heard “Mal’s Song?” No one should have that much talent.

(That last answer was 98% fact free. Competing with Dockrey wasn’t really a factor. But it is true that no should have that much talent.)

Another motivation was this: If people have an album of Firefly-tributes, they’ll play it in their cars, and at work. Other people will overhear it. Folks who’ve never heard of Firefly or Serenity will spot it on our website and get curious. Radio stations will be more likely to play tracks from it. I mean, I’m thrilled that a lot of people want "On the Drift," but I would trade it all for another season of Firefly.
