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. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. Yesterday, it was my brought to my attention that one Mr Donovan Woods, resident of Canada, excellent songwriter, had recorded a [...]
Donovan Woods is one of my favourite musicians in all of the Great White North (Canada for you foreigners). He actually has been for a few years now. So when he offered to guest post his list of the 10 tracks that really did something for him this year, it was exciting and I was very interested into what make Woods tick. Well I have to say I was surprised on a few of them but then sat back and thought to myself that while I might still be "Mr. Slowcoustic" that isn't my only side, hell, I'm [...]
by teepoo Whoa, this week ended so fast. Here are this week's most visited posts! Wow you guys really dig some of these old tracks as they have been up on chart for quite a while. Thanks for looking so deep! Don't forget to check out the new stuff as well :) Position Last Song Link 1 - Hey Geronimo- Why Don't [...]
Tweetvaso link Donovan Woods' last album, The Widowmaker, made it up to number 14 on our Best of 2010 list of album based solely on its position on my personal list. Even when I listened to the album a couple of weeks ago it was still an affecting experience. That's a credit to Woods' timeless...
Haha, if you ever decided to type bestsongwriter.com into your Google bar, you'll be leaded to the Bandcamp page of Toronto singer-songwriter, Donovan Woods. I don't know if he's the best songwriter ever but his songs are honest and endearing. In Put On Cologne there are simple hooks, light guitar and gentle touches of piano. Donovan Woods- Put On Cologne
![[MP3] new Donovan Woods: “Put On Cologne”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3908897_lg.jpg)
I'm not sure of many artists that can put out such endearing, acoustically driven music as Donovan Woods . Ever since we stumbled upon his debut LP in 2006, we were caught hook-line-and-sinker but still find ourselves getting reeled in. Woods has a new EP titled Don't Get Too Grand coming out soon and the lead single from it is ready to enter your ears below: Donovan Woods - Put On Cologne With an infectious melody, subtle keys, [...]
If you're headed down to the Lonely Dear show at The Drake on Sunday night it will be worth your time to arrive early. Sarnia-native Donovan Woods will be holding down the opening slot. You won't want to miss his Iron & Wine-style folk. With titles like "My Cousin Has a Grey Cup Ring", how can you go wrong? Listen to the track "Let Go Lightly", from his album The Widowmaker here: <p><a href=" http://bestsongwriterever.com/ album/the-widowmaker">T he Widowmaker by Donovan Woods</a></p>
Here it is: our list of what we think are the best albums of the past 12 months. You're undoubtedly bored of these at this point, but we always like throwing our hat in the ring as well. We're not going wax poetic about each release - just a couple of sentences, a representative song...
This is probably the hardest list that I'll make all year. All the tracks listed below have gotten multiple plays over the year and will undoubtedly continue in a like manner far into the future. Let me start by saying that my list doesn't differentiate between a properly released single and an individual track from an album, meaning that just because a track wasn't released on a 73 doesn't mean it can't make this list. Quite a few sites out there are putting together lists of 50 or more top singles of the year, maybe I'm just extra [...]
ok, so my top 5 un-american albums cover only 3 countries. so what? i can't help the fact that canadians are so damn good at pumping out amazing folk music. could it be the inspiration of countless miles of beautiful, unexplored wilderness, or are these folk-singers simply spending too much time waiting for health care...writing songs all the while? whatever it is, they've managed to grab 3 spots on my list of the 'top 5 non-US albums of 20102. joining them are two incredible talents from sunderland, UK and dublin, ireland. so, without further adieu, here are vocal [...]
Donovan Woods' "Lawren Harris" is truly a magical tune. I don't know how he isn't a bigger artist yet. The power of "Lawren Harris" alone should be enough to propel this man to huge fame and glory. If you need a refresher, here's the post I did on it. I just came across this breathtaking version he did for Southern Souls . He sings it live at an empty theater, giving his voice the necessary space to haunt and grow. If this doesn't convince you that this song is one of the best of [...]
just a quick pre-thanksgiving post, from the glorious, friendly, completely operationally-sound o'hare airport. have you checked out the featured video i have up there? from one of the greatest songwriters around? please have a look at it...southern souls giving you the title track (which i don't believe made the album) from donovan woods' the widowmaker (that's one you need to buy). happy thanksgiving (to the americans...i think canada's thanksgiving is over, not really sure how that works. ask donovan)
an apparently bored donovan woods (amazing folk singer from toronto) took a couple minutes out of his not particularly busy day to answer a few questions for yours truly...a pretty kind gesture given the fact that, well...i'm not a very big deal (yet). his most recent album, the widowmaker , is really good...you know it's true because i bolded, italicized and underlined that word. fantastic songwriting, simple, catchy melodies and some smooth female backing vocals. this one's [...]
I have been listening to this album for a few months now and it is still impressing me, although I did think this all along so it really isn't a surprise. Something about this sad bastard works for me. What was a surprise though was the fact that Donovan "tweeted" an out-take from this album for all to download (original Apple Lossless version from Donovan HERE ). The track is called "Only Ones In The World" and it is another great track, so as the saying goes, if this is not worthy enough to make it onto [...]
i found this the other day, and just started listening to it. this being donovan woods' the hold up , which i thought was new, but may be a few years old now. cant find too much info on the man other than he's from canada and he does have a new record out entitled the widowmaker . havent heard that one yet, but as soon as i am done with this, i am seeking it out. if you're a fan of iron and wine, mr ryan adams, or any other artist of the like you [...]
I know, I know. You don't want us reminding you about records over and over again, but it seems like a gentle reminder that Donovan Woods has a new record, out now on Bearsuit Publishing. When I reviewed the record, it was still a self-release, so seeing Woods get some The Widowmaker is a solid collection of stories, but one that finds Woods expanding his sonic palette to include pace, banjo, synths, hand claps without sacrificing emotion. I know as days turn into weeks, we consume new songs and forget [...]

I tend to be all over the map when it comes to music actually being released - I often get pre-released stuff, unreleased stuff, older stuff - so without big bold letters saying the official release date, I am simply in the dark at the best of times. A good example of this happened with Donovan Woods that came out this past September 7th...bad music blogger I know. Well, then let's get to the overdue update: This first album ( I have another one I missed for you tomorrow) I have [...]
