I’m freeing the album; “Songs for Truth and Harmony” out of its monetary cage. Inherit it here.
• three new albums •
9/23/22 RELEASE: A timely, passionate, psycho-political collection of all originals, invoking the energies of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Dalai Lama, my personal teachers, social psychologists, and Dr. L. Subramaniam who encouraged me; “It’s hard to change people’s minds with words, but you can get to their hearts with song.” 1ST PRESS QUOTE: The genuine love flowing out of these Corky and Holly Siegel songs will fill you with gratitude that you stayed alive long enough to feel this young again. … I want to live in this album. I know it will live in me. - Terry Abrahamson, Blues Music Magazine • Full of soulful songs to the brightest and beautifulest parts of the human spirit. - Terry Abrahamson, In the Belly of the Blues, WNUR Chicago // Free Download • Free listening

CLASSIC! "The breadth and layers of this project are so stunning that I can’t recall hearing anything like this. - ELMORE MAGAZINE. National treasure - Editors Pick - DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE.
This is a live album of concerts from Chautauqua in NY to the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Don’t miss Rollo Radford’s “TRAIN” or any of the other tunes :-)
*****NEW DIGITAL RE-MASTERED RELEASE for 2022. The album includes the classic Aunt Lila’s Suite with Opus 14, 15, 16, and 17 which was written for Lila Wallace who awarded me a national composers award
The very first Chamber Blues album includes Opus 12 (Filisko’s Dream) which won a national award for composition as well as the custom composed Unfinished Jump written for Alligator Records. This exclusively blues label had the courage to release this and also “Traveling …” and receives the Chamby Award for “fearlessness” in A&R. - Thank you Bruce Iglaeur and the Alligator Records team.
• Siegel-Schwall •
“They knock everybody flat.” - Rolling Stone Magazine
Recommended. This is a historical look at The Siegel-Schwall Band’s first recording right out offers exposure to the blues and right out their residency with the blues masters at Pepper’s in 1965
Recommended - a new phase with Rollo Radford and Shelly Plotkin - All the RCA/Wooden Nickel albums are also highly recommended
Includes the classical Hush Hush (with crazy harmonica solo), Rollo Radford’s Corrina
Free download of the crazy harmonica solo intro to Hush Hush from this album
Recommended. This is the first recording with Sam Lay and the first performance by Siegel-Schwall in 14 years. It was taped for a WXRT “Unconcert” at the Vic Theater in Chicago. It includes Sam lay‘s favorite version of “Got my Mojo Working”
This historically significant album is the last recording of Siegel-Schwall. More importantly, it features Sam Lay and 4 of his songs - one where he plays guitar.

It was Seiji Ozawa with William Russo’s help that started my whole world of juxtaposing blues and classical. Deutsche Grammophon calls these pieces “An American Classic.”
For anyone interested in digging deep into the world of music expression especially teachers, students and performing artists. Also for those that just want to get into Corky Siegel’s head.
Some beautiful and some really silly Video greetings
6 tunes but 3 of my favorite Christmas tunes that I’ve put a little twist upon. Call them Twistmas songs.
That’s all for now
