Twenty new recordings of previously issued songs that are hard to get include “First Time at a War” the plight of a young  disabled soldier and “Tarpaper Shacks,” why a miner’s heaven would be better than life on earth.

Produced by Jesse Kahn and Pieter Groenveld, Si Kahn is joined by the superb harmonies of European Rounder recording artists Ygdrassil, Annemarieke Coenders & Linde Nijland.  Thanksgiving is Si Kahn’s fifteenth CD.  

Title song “Thanksgiving” sets the tone of fighting back while appreciating what we have.  “Who’s Watching the Man” takes on the privacy intrusions of the Patriot  Act. “Sixteen” a celebration of passion even after 50, “Rack ‘Em Up Eddie” captures the pool hall as a shield against deep personal loss, while “Government on Horseback”  humorously uses  the old Hollywood Western to laugh and exposes the old Reagan and the new Bush.

Thanksgiving is a companion  to
In My Heart, (SCR-33), also a retrospective of many of Si Kahn’s best and most covered songs: “Aragon Mill”, “Wild Rose of the Mountain”, “People Like You” and “Lady of the Harbor.” We’re Still Here (SCR-57) released in celebration of Si’s 60th birthday in 2004  contains songs not recorded anywhere else including the power anti-war “When the War is Done” and “The Gap” , a funny but true telling of income disparity. On this recording, Si was joined by Liz Meyer on harmony vocals, and Joost van Es on violin.

“Si Kahn is one of the best… a solid thinker who is able to humanize the political… I hope he lives to be 120.”
- Pete Seeger

The “In My Heart – Live in Holland” Album that Si Kahn recorded in 1994 for Strictly Country Records and Philo - Rounder Records has been his most praised album in an impressive musical oeuvre. 10 years later, Si returned to The Netherlands to record another outstanding production for Strictly County Records, with songs about “the lives of working people and what's happening to them in (t)his country.”

With this “We’re Still Here” release, Si also celebrates his 60th birthday. Nineteen powerful songs, soulfully performed, with Liz Meyer on harmony vocals, Joost van Es on violin, and Scott Ainslie on National slide guitar.

“A poetic detail and ironic understatement unknown in political folk music since Dylan’s early folkie days.”
- Geoffrey Himes, Rolling Stone

“Some call him a poet. Others say he’s a modern-day Woody Guthrie.”
- Jane Ashley, USA Today

“Liz Meyer provides harmony vocals, always expressive and absolutely fabulous and soulful on ‘Traveler’ (from Si Kahn's  'We're Still Here' CD).”  
- Hilary West, Bluegrass Now
