This captivating collection of history songs, and her debut album on Dark Shadow Recording, comes to life with the incredible vocal talents of Tim Stafford, Shannon Slaughter, Becky Buller, Trey Hensley, David Parmley, Stephen Mougin, Luke Munday, Kati Penn, Alan Bartram, Brandon Rickman, Jana Mougin, Rick Faris and James Kee.

“I really hope people enjoy listening to this new collection of story songs, all based on true stories and real life experiences. Stephen Mougin and I have been planning this album for years. He made a brilliant job overseeing and producing this new creative work. I’m forever grateful to all the performers for sharing their talents and bringing these songs to life,” says Rick Lang.

“Many years ago when Rick Lang brought me this idea and a huge collection of his writings,” proclaims producer Stephen Mougin. “I got hooked right away. singers and then releasing it on our DSR label was too hard to resist. Rick and I share a New England heritage and this project features story-songs, mostly true, with a strong emphasis on tales from that region. I’m proud of the album we’ve created and grateful to all of the incredible performers who helped bring “A Tale To Tell” from concept to reality. I think people will really appreciate this throwback to the struggles, love, determination, and perseverance of past generations.
