Ik heb altijd een vreselijke hekel gehad aan Led Zeppelin. Ik ben altijd allergisch geweest voor al die bombast, die uithalen, dat haantjesgedrag van Plant en Page. Wat doe je dan als er een Led Zeppelin tribute uitkomt waaraan veel van je favoriete artiesten meedoen? Ik heb na lang twijfelen de creditcard toch maar tevoorschijn gehaald. Want bijdragen van Laura Veirs , Amy Annelle , Loch Lomond en Jeff London kan ik natuurlijk niet aan me voorbij laten gaan. Zelfs M.Ward en Chris Walla van Death Cab for Cutie zijn [...]

Here's the first of (hopefully) many sets from Titwrench , held over the weekend at Glob . There was no end to the genres crossed during the festival's three days, and Amy Annelle was one of the few straight-up singer-songwriters to grace the stage. Sandwiched between some crazy techno-storytelling by Aubrey Heichemer and the one-two punch of noise presented by Baby Shampoo and Caldera Lakes, Amy's mix of traditionals, country covers and panhandle-inspired originals were a much-welcome opportunity to just sit back and listen to some folk music. Amy Annelle [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours After spending weeks in a remote cabin on the American High Plains, folk singer/songwriter Amy Annelle is back with her seventh full-length record. Annelle recorded the album in Austin, Texas, so we asked her for some insider advice on the best place to eat in Austin for SXSW . Performing for her fourth time at festival, Annelle shared her secret with us, and filled us in on the new album. Describe your sound in your own words. [...]

amy annelle hat bereits mit michael hurley (siehe foto) und jandek gesungen, aber auch mit dem old folk & country duo precious blood sowie mit okkervil river performt und ist darüber hinaus stetes mitglied der cajun danceband the gulf coast playboys. dies ist aber alles nur als parallelveranstaltung zu verstehen. denn ihre eigene arbeit ist reputation genug. s eit 1999 tourt die junge dame kontinuierlich, spielt in austellungsräumen, rockclubs genauso wie auf festivals. sechs alben sind bisher auf ihrem kerbholz eingeritzt, hunderte konzerte, die sie unter eigenem namen oder unter [...]

SXSW 2009 ligt alweer even achter me, maar ik moest toch weer even aan het festival denken toen ik deze week de EP van Precious Blood in de bus vond. Precious Blood is namelijk de band van Amy Annelle en Ralph White en Annelle gaf een van de meest opzienbarende optredens tijdens het festival. Dat het optreden opzienbarend was lag niet zozeer aan Amy Annelle, maar aan de planning van de festival-organisatie. Annelle speelde solo in The Music Gym , een soort keet, terwijl tegelijkertijd op het buitenpodium de rappers van [...]

Don't all girls want to be princesses? I thought not. So this "Ladies Night" post is getting popular - notably as last week enjoyed a cover (always bloggers and their covers, eh??) of Will Smith's claim to fame TV theme song "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" from Torontonian Kay Pettigrew. I have singled this out as I know she makes mention of another young singer songwriter from Toronto on her MySpace page that I had listened to a while ago - and hence, she (Carmen Elle) hits this list this week. There are many more ladies on this [...]

This from HUSH, my label. Has a new P Bear jamm: "Wii Oui". We are delighted to share this party favor with you: DECA: A HUSH 10th Anniversary Compilation . It's a rare snapshot of an invigorating cross section of artists mostly calling Portland home. The majority of its 28 tracks (tracklist below) are previously unreleased, and it features a 36 page pdf booklet. One note: Should you opt for the convenient, high quality zip download you'll find you're given an opportunity to pay an amount of [...]
I have two Hush t-shirts, the simple "cross" logo and the hush-bulance special, which are well-worn with pride. Back when small labels were harder to pull off, the Hush folks persevered, from humble CD-R beginnings to the beloved Portland institution they are today. Pure indie folk integrity, folks, now made available in a bulk buffet of free and (mostly) previously-unreleased goodies to
