In Memoriam: Bill Morrissey

Dec 30, 2011, 11:48pm Star Maker Machine
In Memoriam: Bill Morrissey Bill Morrissey: Handsome Molly [ purchase ] Bill Morrissey: Birches [ purchase ] His songs were like Elmer Rising's pen and ink masterpieces--you could admire each confidently executed lyrical brushstroke and melodic twist on the finest of scales, and never diminish the overall impression of their honesty and truth. At the height of his powers, on 1989's Standing Eight, 1992's Inside and 1993's Night Train, each Bill Morrissey record contained [...]

The State of Folk: Falcon Ridge 2011 Festival Roundup (covers of Jack Hardy, Adele, The Beatles, Bill Morrissey & more!)

Aug 3, 2011, 11:14pm Cover Lay Down
The State of Folk: Falcon Ridge 2011 Festival Roundup (covers of Jack Hardy, Adele, The Beatles, Bill Morrissey & more!) Two years ago, my annual visit to the folkfields produced a manifesto of sorts, anticipating and acknowledging the blur between old time, bluegrass, folk, and other american roots forms being performed by a rising crop of very young artists. Much of this came from the dual nature of my summer revelry: moving from Grey Fox Bluegrass to Falcon Ridge Folk allowed for a surprisingly consistent journey, and that which I saw in one site, I confirmed in the other. This year, though work and other obligations left me unable to attend Grey Fox, I [...]

Bill Morrissey, 1951-2011

Jul 30, 2011, 1:26pm There Stands the Glass
Bill Morrissey, 1951-2011 Years before I was employed by the record label, the budget-priced Rounder Folk compilation was one of the first titles I bought in the then-new CD format. The exhausted tone and cracked voice displayed on Bill Morrissey 's "My Old Town" led me to believe that the man was well into his 60s. I was shocked when I discovered that he was still young. A combination of Hank Williams and Robert Frost, the New England-based singer-songwriter rarely toured in the Midwest. I saw him perform just once. [...]

Bij de dood van Bill Morrissey

Jul 24, 2011, 12:52pm Ketelmuziek
Bij de dood van Bill Morrissey Het weekend van 23 en 24 juli 2011 is er een met een rouwrandje. De gruwelijke details van de bomaanslag en schietpartij in Noorwegen komen naar buiten. Amy Winehouse overlijdt op 27-jarige leeftijd en Johnny Hoes blaast zijn laatste adem uit. Hoes werd 94 jaar. Zaterdag 23 juli overleed singer-songwriter Bill Morrissey . Morrissey makte in de jaren '80 en '90 een serie prachtige albums, maar was al een aantal jaren min of meer uit beeld verdwenen. In Morrissey's hoogtijdagen luisterde ik veel naar singer-songwriters. Ik leek maar niet genoeg te kunnen krijgen van mannen en vrouwen met gitaren. [...]

Call Me: Memphis, Tennessee

Oct 20, 2010, 12:53am Star Maker Machine
Call Me: Memphis, Tennessee Bill Morrissey and Greg Brown : Memphis, Tennessee [ purchase ] In 1993, Greg Brown and Bill Morrissey were big names in folk music, so the news that they had done an album together was big news. Friend of Mine has some traditional songs, songs by folk artists old a new, and some ringers, like this one, originally by Chuck Berry. But try finding more versions of this song. There are simply too many. Memphis, Tennessee has been done in country, punk, rockabilly, and rock versions. Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, and [...]

Burning Up: Songs For A Heat Wave Coverfolk from Nelly to I'm On Fire

May 26, 2010, 11:50pm Cover Lay Down
Burning Up: Songs For A Heat Wave Coverfolk from Nelly to I'm On Fire By day the heat is intolerable. My students wilt in my presence; I suffer in theirs. Finals are two weeks away, but we will lose this lesson. My last period classroom blazes like the sun: too many windows, and too many well-intentioned adolescents to open them, letting out the residual comfort of dim lights, linoleum, stillness. Back home, the garden wilts. Its overgrown grasses and weeds bear the scars and indentations of cats trying desperately to bask in the coolness of an earth long scorched beyond any [...]

News bits: Friends rally around Peter Case [Random news items from my inbox ...] Friends are rallying en masse in support of Peter Case , the L.A. icon who underwent emergency open-heart surgery on Jan. 15. A fund, Hidden Love , has been set up to help defray the medical expenses of the former Plimsouls frontman, 55, who had no health insurance and is expected to make a full recovery. And a three-night benefit May 1-3 is planned at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica — the $50-per-night shows feature Loudon Wainwright [...]

Duets: Men's Edition

Jan 30, 2009, 3:00am Star Maker Machine
Duets: Men's Edition I couldn't help noticing that all of the songs posted this week were duets between a male and a female singer. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, and the music has been great. But there are other possibilities. Here are two fine examples of duets between two male singers. There also many fine all-female duets, but I leave that thought with my fellow Starmakers. There's still time!

Death, Impending: Coversongs for an old friend

Sep 28, 2008, 11:40pm Cover Lay Down
Death, Impending: Coversongs for an old friend I was planning to use this weekend's entry to celebrate the impending one year anniversary of Cover Lay Down. But last night the cat turned up yowling pitifully under the shrubbery along the front porch, and he wouldn't come out. We couldn't find a flashlight; in the end, my wife lit a tiny candle in the rain, I heaved aside the overgrowth, and she reached into the darkness to reel him in, his body limp. That he didn't tear us to shreds as we extricated him from the shrubbery was tellingly [...]

Covered In Folk: (Not) The Grateful Dead (on Borrowed Tradsongs and the Dead as a Vehicle of Renewal) Naturalismo , which I discovered when researching last week's post on Freak Folk , seems to be one of very few music bloggers to note the passing of Alton Kelley -- the sixties poster artist whose most popular work was probably the above skeleton-with-rose-garland poster, originally created for a 1966 Grateful Dead show at the Avalon Ballroom. You may not have seen the poster before, but you've seen the graphic it inspired on a hundred Volkswagen bumpers; the image, which Kelley and his long-time partner Stanley Mouse adapted from a nineteenth century illustration for The Rubaiyat [...]
