After having half of Phish sport the now instant classic Face T on stage, David Mayfield of the aptly named band The David Mayfield Parade has firmly secured his place in annals of Phishlore as the face of famous Gamehenge inhabitant Icculus. While that may be all well and good, we're pretty sure he'd probably want you to check out just what impressed Mike and Trey so much that they decided to pick one of those shirts up.

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. I'm conflicted this morn'. It's light outside at 6am and living where I do, I feel like I should be farming. I should be out and about with the cows, taking advantage of the sun peeking over the horizon. Also, I need some cows... It should [...]
Mumford & Sons and Cadillac Sky channel their inner southern family band and cover The Avett Brothers' "Go To Sleep"
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music The problem with Mumford and Sons ' 12-track debut, 'Sigh No More' is narrowing down a favorite. Seeing them live, one would think, would help with the dilemma. Unfortunately, it does not, especially when they unleash three new standout songs -- 'Below My Feet,' 'Lover of the Light' and the tentatively titled 'Broken Crown' -- during their two-hour long set and cover the Avett Brothers 'Go to Sleep' alongside [...]

Letters in the Deep is Cadillac Sky's latest album and is on general release on June 8th, if this is what get when you take five talented multi-instrumental vocalists with a bluegrass background and put them in a studio with an indie blues rock multi-instrumentalist / producer who tells the band to embrace the here and now and "let the songs be what they are going to be", then I for one want more as the result is an honest to goodness organic concoction of transcendental music to rival the recent releases from The Avett [...]

Past reviews from this writer have touted a band's choice in producer. And while James Murphy is arguably as good a choice as any band can make, Cadillac Sky 's decision to go with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach deserves not as much attention. While Auerbach's blues-rock background and experience as an indie darling deserve merit for the album's existence, the band undoubtedly needed little in the way of molding. Instead, one can make a conjecture that Auerbach's role was to lightly direct the band as they powered through an album that bounces back and forth from blues to [...]

Dan Auerbach has his hands all over the Mayfields lately.

The new album from Cadillac Sky , with David Mayfield on guitar, is set for release on June 8th (via Dualtone ). It was put to tape during a five-day session at Auerbach's [...]
