 Alistair MacLeod Interview: The Tuning of Perfection   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Alistair MacLeod was born in 1936 in Saskatchewan.
Someone unfamiliar with MacLeod's oeuvre, presented with his short stories bound out of publication sequence, would be hard pressed to distinguish between the author's "juvenilia" (a treacherous term to apply to the work of an author whose first short story was published when he was 30-years-old) and the more "mature" work.
MacLeod: (Smiling) Well, I don’t generally hang out in Dublin Castle….It was very splendid and of course they were very nice to me. They described me, I think, in that press release you quoted, as "a diminutive author." I don’t think of myself as tremendously diminutive.

 Kate MacLeod's CDs - Reviews
The 10 originals reveal MacLeod's uncanny ability to bring the feel of the outdoors into her songs, whether it is a vivid image of a panhandler on a reservation (in "Beautiful Flowers," which MacLeod dedicated to Sawtelle), or the bleak chill of cold weather ("Winter Love").
MacLeod's music has the strength and delicacy of the folk traditions she draws upon, and yet it remains fresh and ever capable of surprises.
MacLeod is blessed with a wonderfully expressive voice, a clear, resonant alto with echoes of early Nanci Griffith, and she uses it to full effect with inventive phrasing and sparing use of a letter perfect vibrato.

 Henry Dunning Macleod
Macleod was a Cambridge-trained lawyer and financier as well as an amateur economist.
Vehemently opposed to the labor theory of value, Macleod developed a subjectivist "supply and demand" mechanism for setting long-term prices - including the concept of the diminishing marginal utility - and was duly acknowledged as a predecessor to the Marginalist Revolution by Jevons.
Macleod turned his remarkable skills as a barrister into vehement attacks on and dissection of the logic of the Classical Ricardian theorists -- an effort which earned him few friends and brought upon himself the wrath of Alfred Marshall -- thereby keeping him out of the academic mainstream for life.

 marlee macleod music
And unlike many people who mine the rocky underside of romance for song material, MacLeod is no whiner; her lyrical tone is tough, pithy, and unpretentiously intelligent, like someone you'd swap stories with at the bar who also has a library card and knows how to use it.
It helps that MacLeod has just the right voice for her material (a strong Southern/Midwestern blend that favors substance over prettiness and brings across the material quite effectively), and she plays a tough, rockin' guitar over a nimble rhythm section that knows how to jump.
Marlee MacLeod is a singer/songwriter with a rocker's instincts, but the folky lurking within her seems to have been running the show when she cut her second album, 1995's Favorite Ball and Chain.
