Phimpha Phonsiri | It's Red!



Listen to the third track


Give track 11 some attention

Reupped  on May 24, 2015, by reader request here.

Have I really never shared this fabulous example of, uh, well ... what is it, exactly? I was going to use Peter Doolan's term, "work station luk thung," but it's not that, exactly. (And, thanks Peter, for the singer and title.) I'm no longer sure where I picked it up, but the most likely place is Thai-Cam Video (5230 Southeast Foster Road, Portland, Ore.), where I got most of my Cambodian and Lao music, and a bit of my Thai stuff as well.

Exhausted and wanting to catch a few quick Zs before heading over to friends' house to watch Project Runway--I baked a nice loaf of rosemary sourdough for them--or I'd stick around and talk longer. Maybe tomorrow; I've got the day off.

well what can I say about this? Bizarre, fascinating, beautiful. And that's just the cover :-)

I played it to my daughter: "French? Er, C&W? Er, ...." she guessed. I think that about sums it up. A winner!

Thank you

Hi! Can you re-upload it once again, please? Laotian/Isan music is rare (May I suggest MEGA as a hosting site? It doesn't have a time limit for storing files), and this cover art is lovely.
