He answered questions I never knew I was asking. The tragedy is that I can't tell you what he said. Perhaps I'm committing some journalistic faux pas here admitting my (still unexplained) mistake but it's somehow symbolic if given the chance. You see, I've conducted almost 1,000 interviews in my short 'career' with all kinds of musicians, actors, directors and authors. And the number of those that turned into truly memorable, almost-transcendent conversations can be counted on two hands. So after having such a moment with David Wilcox, the anxiousness to get the transcription rolling was [...]

John Gorka: Let Them In [ purchase ] David Wilcox: Let Them In [ purchase ] The question of source material and song ownership is one I have considered at length in my tenure as a coverblogger . But the study of coversong deals with songs first and foremost as found and re-manipulated objects, not constructed objects. Which is to say: although taking existing materials and making them your own can be an illuminating and transformative process, [...]

Schoolday Coverfolk: National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10

May 7, 2008, 12:23am Cover Lay Down

In my other life, I'm a middle school teacher; I spend most of my days surrounded by twelve year olds, trying to balance entertainment with mentorship, and curriculum with life lessons. Before that, I taught in a boarding high school, tutored gifted and talented kids in a tiny rural elementary school, ran a before-school program, and did public demonstrations at a science museum. And before that, I was a dropout. And before that, I was a goofball, who needed a little good advice now and then, but couldn't really sit still long enough [...]

Covered In Folk: Classical Music (Bela Fleck, Chris Thile, David Wilcox, Brooks Williams, etc.)

Mar 26, 2008, 12:20am Cover Lay Down

Most people think of modern folk music as inherently coupled with the singer-songwriter movement. And it is true that, once upon a time, those who would grow up to become the folk troubadors of their own tomorrows learned their songs the traditional way, at the knees of their elders, that they, too, might pass old songs on to a new generation, and tell their own stories in familiar forms. But the primary instruments of folk music turn out to be more versatile than the folk tradition would suggest. And though many modern [...]

I've strayed from the folkfold a bit over the past weeks, testing the limits of folk subgenres and hybridization, trying to feel out just how far one can throw the modern conceit in which everything is a slash-folk hyphenate. I make no apologies for this -- folk is a big tent, with many murky corners worthy of exploration. It is also, by definition, tied to the listening culture in intimate, cyclical ways which make it natural for folk to be in a state of constant interaction and integration with...well, everything. Including other forms of music. [...]
