COMMON GROUND: WINGS OF SILVER W/ NO ARTWORK
Album Features
Title:
Common Ground: Wings Of Silver
Record Label:
Uncommonly Round Records
Release Year:
1996
Cat No:
UR15992
Country:
US
Genre:
Folk
Style:
Acoustic, Singer/Songwriter, Celtic-influenced
Common Ground blend acoustic folk and singer-songwriter styles with hints of Celtic influence. Their sound centers on acoustic guitar arrangements, intimate vocals and storytelling lyrics. Wings of Silver showcases a mix of reflective ballads and upbeat roots-oriented tracks. The 1996 release features warm production and traditional melodic sensibilities.
Folk/Rock in the tradition of the Byrds and Fairport Convention. Cheryl Cloud and Common Ground had started rehearsals for this project before Cheryl passed away in 1995 after a long struggle with cancer. She asked the other members to complete the CD if she didn't make it. This was definitely a heartfelt labor of love. The record features 11 songs by Cheryl Cloud (she makes a moving appearance on "The Secret is You" ) and introduces the songwriting team of Marcy Hogan and Mark Cloud.
"The Secret is You" was recorded in 1992 with Cheryl playing alone with her guitar; Mark Cloud engineered the recording. It was a very emotional session in the studio in 1995, just after Cheryl's passing, when Marcy Hogan added her distinctive viola to round out this recording. More of those recordings will soon be available as a Cheryl Cloud solo CD, "Legacy."
In 1978, Mark Cloud (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, dobro, mandolin, Appalachian dulcimer, keyboards) and Cheryl Cloud (songwriter, lead vocals, acoustic guitar) formed Common Ground, a folk-rock band featuring both traditional Celtic music and Cheryl's original songs. They were joined by Marcy Hogan (vocals, viola, keyboards), Scott Van Dusen (drums, percussion), and Bill Carrigan (vocals, bass, acoustic guitar). They were originally billed as Cheryl Cloud and Common Ground, becoming simply Common Ground after Cheryl's death. They performed live throughout the '80s at venues like the Troubadour, the Ice House, and Madame Wong's. They released an EP on vinyl, Leaving Love Behind, in 1981.
Although they recorded an archive of materials during the intervening years, Common Ground primarily focused on its live performances during the '80s and did not release further albums at that time. Sadly, Cheryl was diagnosed with cancer in 1991. In honor of her work to increase cancer awareness and her continued performances with Common Ground, even after 16 surgeries and the removal of most of one lung, Cheryl Cloud was given the American Cancer Society's Courage Award in 1994, prior to her death in 1995. 1994 also marked the release of Common Ground's first CD, Hard Choices.
Before her death, Cheryl requested that the other band members continue performing. Her husband Mark Cloud took over the lead vocals on Wings of Silver, released in 1996. Common Ground added singer Karen Ambellan in 1996 after the release of Wings of Silver, kept performing, and released Live at the Emu Farm, a tribute album for Cheryl, in 1998. In a surprise ceremony, Mark Cloud and his new fiancée Kari were married right after the Emu Farm performance. Common Ground continued with The Best, Vol. 1 and 2, a greatest-hits compilation covering 1979-1999, which they released in 2000 and 2001. They also posthumously released an album of Cheryl's solo performances, Songs of Christmas, Vol. 1 in 2000. More albums with additional selections from the archived recordings are scheduled for release in 2001.
Mark Cloud (Vocals, Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Dulcimer, Keyboards); Marcy Hogan (Vocals, Viola, Keyboards); Scott Van Dusen (Drums, Percussion); Mike Tunstall (Vocals, Bass, Guitars)

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
