Taking On The New Christmas Canon New holiday songs, covered in folk

Dec 8, 2011, 11:51pm Cover Lay Down
The Christmas canon falls easily into several clusters of songtype: the wassail and traditional Euro-melody, the hymn and the poetic setting, the early 20th century crooner, the TV special soundtrack. Each, in its way, is a marker of a historical era; string them together, and you've got a cultural timeline of sorts, representing the common threads of the tree and the snow, family and friends, Jesus and Santa, exposing – along the way – the ways in which our perspective has changed over time. But genre and soungsource have blurred and expanded over the [...]

Gifts & Wishes: The Gift of the Magi

Dec 14, 2010, 12:36am Star Maker Machine
Gifts & Wishes: The Gift of the Magi Darryl Purpose : The Gift of the Magi [ purchase ] One of my favorite Christmas stories is O Henry's The Gift of the Magi. So, when this week's theme was announced, I was hoping that someone had made a song out of it. That someone was Darryl Purpose, and he does a great job with it. If you don't know the story, I'll let him tell it. I will only say that giving a gift should always be an act of love, and sometimes love involves sacrifice.

Holiday Coverfolk 2010, Vol. 1: Christmas, (Re)Covered (New and newly-found holiday songs from familiar faces)

Nov 27, 2010, 7:41pm Cover Lay Down
Holiday Coverfolk 2010, Vol. 1: Christmas, (Re)Covered (New and newly-found holiday songs from familiar faces) Every year, I find my struggle to stave off Christmas Creep stymied by the drive to provide the meaningful and new before early-season eagerness can be replaced by weary resignation. Oh, sure, I wish it were otherwise - after all, December has so much more to offer, from Hanukkah to the very real possibility of an early snow day. But being the last blogger on the block to cover Christmas risks hitting folks when their patience for the songs of the season has already been exhausted. And dropping the best of [...]

Covered In Folk: Dave Carter, 1952 - 2002 The Legacy of a Buddhist Cowboy Poet

Jul 6, 2010, 9:17pm Cover Lay Down
Covered In Folk: Dave Carter, 1952 - 2002 The Legacy of a Buddhist Cowboy Poet Each year as schooldays fade into memory and the summer festival season grows close, my thoughts turn to Dave Carter . An up-and-coming singer-songwriter, already well respected by critics and peers, Carter was on the road with his partner Tracy Grammer in the summer of 2002 when he was stricken down with a heart attack during an early morning run in the New England heat. Their scheduled set at that day's Green River Festival was taken over by Signature Sounds labelmate Mark Erelli with little fanfare. [...]

Travelers' Code (Follow the Light): Darryl Purpose

Nov 12, 2008, 12:56pm Keep the Coffee Coming
Some singers make me stop to listen because I don't want to miss a word, a nuance of language. Some of these singers are long time favorites whose songs I know in my head and heart. Some are new to me. I stopped to listen to Darryl Purpose. This is from 1999's Travelers' Code. MP3 File yousendit
