December

Dec 20, 2009, 9:27am The Gentlebear
December My New Orleans Public School kindergarten report card. Same as it ever was. This has been a nutty year, filled with lots of sorrow which I worried I might never get over. But I did. Or at least, I'm out of the tunnel, and I amazed by my own resilience or whatever it is. Of course, music is the panacea, and I've found a lot of music to dig this year. So I'd like to share this mix with my readers. Including but not limited to: Cher covering The Kinks. Young Michael Jackson tackling the complexities [...]

I Know He Let You In

Nov 15, 2009, 2:12pm For The Sake Of The Song
I Know He Let You In "I was sitting around the other day, tapping my feet, A publication came to my door, said you´d died and gone to sleep... But I couldn´t shed a tear I never knew you well..." A moving elegy from Minutemen successors fIREHOSE on the death of blues singer extraordinaire Elizabeth Cotten. Haven´t a clue why Mike Watt & co spelled her name wrong btw. Anyone? "...But I´m missing you just the same, Libba please rest easy down on Chestnut [...]

Oct 16, 2009, 5:01pm play it as it lays
elizabeth cotten Cotten's voice is taught and strong. She dances a gorgeous tightrope between complex finger picking and beautiful, coarse melody, singing nursery rhyme ditties and dirt-floor blues. Discovered by the Seeger family in the 60s, she died at 92 in the 80s. She played her guitar left handed and upside down, meaning her thumb took the melody. I like her face. Give it to me in a format I can touch Elizabeth Cotten - I'm Going Away [...]

Boomslang! : Night One

Oct 12, 2009, 4:39am Backseat Sandbar
Boomslang! : Night One I have a confession to make. For years I would loudly proclaim my opinion that Lexington was vastly inferior to Louisville and that nobody in their right mind would ever want to live there. Now, my love for Louisville hasn't waned a bit (I still think it's the greatest town in America), but Lexington is quickly making a case for being one of the most exciting towns in the Midwest. With this year's Boomslang Fest courtesy of WRFL , they are [...]

Machesa Traditional Group - "Rarichama" I make the food, my family eats the food. I work the day through, the night pays me back with sleep. I read all my books, my mind runs up and down the hill and around the town in circles. I kiss my girl, my friends get jealous. I help all the old folks, they tell me stories. I give away my money, and happiness comes in like morning. I bend down to pick up a heavy sack, my back shouts a number, a countdown. I laugh with my children, I see [...]

Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere

May 6, 2009, 5:00pm You Crazy Dreamers
Listening to Gregory Alan Isakov third opus with headphones is like embarking on an emotional roller coaster. Fasten your seatbelt, push the 'play' button and don't forget to breathe. On his previous album Gregory reached a summit with this purified folk, these hypnotizing tempos, this prose; I was a bit apprehensive when I received this new collection of songs. But even if The Moon Song seems like a continuation of That Sea, The Gambler , the complete taste of This Empty Northern Hemisphere left me bewildered. The repertoire [...]

I'm Going Away: New Fiery Furnaces album gets me all sorts of excited

Apr 29, 2009, 11:51am The Post-Rockist
While Scotter harbors his inexplicable blog-crush for the shrill Joanna Newsom, there's still no band that gets me quite as hot and bothered as the inimitable Fiery Furnaces. I guess where he finds sustenance in the pomp and flutter of courtly Elizabethan balladry, my heart is tickled by winding Germanic meta-narratives filled with labrynthine plot [...]

NOTE TAKING: THE CHASING BLUES EDITION

Mar 30, 2009, 4:07am Chasing.Red.Chasing.Red.Chasing.Red
NOTE TAKING: THE CHASING BLUES EDITION I know I've been a little off of my "one music post a week" schedule. Things have been busy, and much has happened (all exciting and good, for the most part). I'll blog about all that later, but let's talk about music for now. I've become obsessed with blues music this past year, and this obsession has fostered an interest in American roots music in general, including folk, bluegrass, and old-time. I hardly listen to anything else now, except for jazz when I'm using my iPod, but mainly because I've been too lazy to update it. I [...]

It's the Birthday of Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten

It's the Birthday of Elizabeth "Libba" Cotten Freight Train and Other North Carolina Folk Songs and Tunes Please click image to listen to samples @Amazon.com Well actually the day before yesterday, January 5 was the birthday of blues and folk musician Elizabeth Cotten. She was born in 1895 and she passed away on June 29, 1987. I was going to try to write something that would indicate how much I like her music, but then it dawned on me, that really words do not capture the simple elegance that was Elizabeth Cotten.

Elizabeth Cotten - Mama, Your Papa Loves You
This morning it was to walk across this country of America. By the afternoon I wanted to not use the internet for 60 days and blog about it. Right now I want to start my own record label. I just have to find my own Elizabeth Cotten. One of those discovered types who make you wonder who and what else is out there. It wasn't until she reached her 60s that she began recording and performing publicly. She was discovered by the folk-singing Seeger family while she was working for them as a housekeeper. Cotten was one [...]

Laura Gibson

May 16, 2008, 6:15am Mainstream Isnt So Bad...Is It
Laura Gibson I've simply fallen in love with Laura Gibson and her new six song EP Six White Horses: Blues & Traditionals, Vol. 1 . It's quiet. It's haunting. It's full of covers and reinterpretations. But it's also wonderfully original. And I love it. I'd like to just stop here and let my brevity stay the course, as it does on the EP, but I'll add a little more to try and get you to love it, too. The texture of Gibson's guitar work stays fairly true to the original blues compositions, but she [...]

Shake Sugaree

Apr 23, 2008, 3:10am For The Sake Of The Song
Shake Sugaree Shake Sugaree is a song I´ve always loved, especially in the original version as performed by the amazing Elizabeth Cotten. "I've a little secret, I ain't gonna tell... I'm goin' to heaven in a ground pea shell... Oh, Lordy me, didn't I shake sugaree, everything I got is down in pawn..." It´s Elizabeth ´Libba´ Cotten (1895-1987) on guitar here only by the way, as her great grandchild Brenda Evans is singing it. And what a voice she´s got... Brenda was only twelve (!) at the time, and contributed to the lyrics together with her brother Johnny and her two [...]
