Coversongs Called Blues: A SMM leftovers post featuring upbeat covers from the folkworld and beyond!

Sep 19, 2010, 11:27am Cover Lay Down
Coversongs Called Blues: A SMM leftovers post featuring upbeat covers from the folkworld and beyond! Last week's songs with titles ending in Blues theme over at collaborative music blog Star Maker Machine may have ended - this week we'll be posting songs that name a type of bird in their title - but my cup runneth over with coversongs that fit the Blank and Blues theme, including a good handful of folk blues numbers ripe for the picking. No true blues on my end today, of course, but many of these leftovers are quite upbeat when it comes down it - and regardless, it's good to [...]

Tim O'Brien Covers: Randy Newman, John Hartford, Jimmie Rodgers, Dylan, Hendrix & more! …plus bonus covers of the Tim O'Brien songbook!

Feb 10, 2010, 4:16pm Cover Lay Down
Tim O'Brien Covers: Randy Newman, John Hartford, Jimmie Rodgers, Dylan, Hendrix & more! …plus bonus covers of the Tim O'Brien songbook! I've been thinking bluegrass all week, thanks to a pair of tickets to this weekend's Joe Val Festival - an annual mid-winter marathon excursion which we've written about profusely in past years. It's a form that often doesn't get included in the folk blogger pantheon, save for the tradfolk and oldtimey set, and a tiny handful of Bluegrass specialists, but here at Cover Lay Down we like to define our terms broadly. In an older sense, of course, our inclusion of the 'grass is easy to defend: bluegrass is most definitely [...]

Berklee Bluegrass and The Folk Arts Quartet: Notes from the fore of the Boston folk and bluegrass scene

Aug 4, 2009, 11:58pm Cover Lay Down
Berklee Bluegrass and The Folk Arts Quartet: Notes from the fore of the Boston folk and bluegrass scene Someone's doing something right at the Berklee College of Music . As a gathering place for talented musicians steeped in a variety of traditions, it has long held a reputation both a natural source for emerging artists and a hotbed of hybridization. You may not have realized it, but the odds are excellent that at least some of your own favorite artists attended the prestigious school, from Patty Larkin, Gillian Welch, Bruce Cockburn and Susan Tedeschi to Melissa Etheridge, Bill Frisell, Donald Fagin, Juliana Hatfield, Aimee Mann and John Mayer.

Top fifty of 2006 part one (50-41)

Dec 11, 2006, 4:56am Can You See the Sunset
I don't think I've ever listened to as much new music as I did in 2006. It has been almost overwhelming but I think that it just goes with the territory. I am (after all) a music blogger. And even though I was trying to make my list smaller than it was last year, I (again) couldn't whittle it down enough to make that happen. So I present to you my top fifty albums of 2006 (in five parts), ranked (but not necessarily in absolute and unwavering positions) by purely subjective methods. [...]
