1973 – “The Blue Ridge Rangers” ist das erste Solo-Album von John Fogerty, dem ehemaligen Lead-Sänger und Lead-Gitarristen von Creedence Clearwater Revival . Bei seiner ersten Veröffentlichung von Fantasy Records im Jahr 1973 wurde auf dem Album Fogerty mit keinem Wort erwähnt. Das Album besteht ausschließlich aus traditionellen und landesüblichen Musikstilen. John Fogerty spielt darauf alle Instrumente.... Im Jahre 2009 veröffentlichte Fogerty eine Fortsetzung dieses Album mit dem Titel The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.

1990 - This CD is a collection of songs from his first three albums. It's the kind of music you can listen to over and over again. His songs are in a way very poetic. It's really worth to listen to the words of the songs! They're just as great as the music!  Sammlung von 20 Songs aus den Jahren 1977 bis 1980; darunter GARDEN SONG - DULCIMER - SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH - MOON UPON THE LEFT oder PENNSYLVANIA SUNSRISE

1993 - prod. by Jim Rooney - A folk/rock/pop effort that sometimes detours into pop-country, This Town showed Dave Mallett to be a thoughtful and expressive storyteller. Mallett was also an obscure storyteller, this little known CD wasn't a huge seller by any means. But those who were lucky enough to hear it agreed that Mallett was someone who deserved a higher profile. The singer did much of the writing on This Town, and the stories that he tells are stories that stick with you... incl. special guests: Nanci Griffith, Michael Johnson and Hal Ketchum!   Highlight !!!

1993 - …In the Falling Dark is Dave Mallett's second album for Vanguard Records and eighth album of new original material overall. Like its predecessor, 1993's This Town, it finds the Maine native in Nashville, co-writing most of his songs with others in that songwriting capital. The result is sadly predictable. On his own, Mallett had an individual sensibility that shared some themes with country music; he was interested in farmers and trains and lost love…incl. Joe Spell (accordion) + Roy Huskey, Jr. (acoustic bass)

1999 - this powerfull and beautifully rendered collection shows why Mallett’s songs have been recorded by everyone from Pete Seeger to Alison Krauss to Hal Ketchum… Mallett again proves that his songs are meant to be heard in his own voice… incl. Steve Conn (accordion) and Andrea Zonn (fiddle & background vocals)

1997 - great songs, great guitar playing and great singing. Without any adornment, these songs are strong. Parallel Lives is a live recording with Mallett and Steven Sheehan on guitars, Mike Budd on bass, and an uncredited harmonica player (probably Mallett). That's it- only the singing and the songs. 

1988 - inzwischen sehr rares Album mit ganz starken Songs wie THE DRIVER - RIDE THESE TRAINS sowie einer fantastischen Version von WAITING FOR A SOUTHERN TRAIN… eingespielt u.a. mit Marty Stuart (acoustic guitar & mandolin), Danny Flowers (harmonica) und Jerry Douglas (dobro)

2000 - This record is a tribute to a road that is near and dear to some people's hearts...it connects stories, musicans and songs, past and present and future...eingespielt u.a. mit Joe Ely, Flaco Jimenez, Willie Nelson sowie David Hidalgo und Bill Hearne; 13 Songs, darunter CARMELITA - SAINT VALENTINE oder NEW MEXICO RAIN und ACROSS THE BORDERLINE  sehr rar !!!
