A Weekend in Massachusetts: Greg Brown, The Low Anthem, BCMFest, Brooks Williams and Jim Henry (Plus: Glen and Grant Lee Phillips in NYC, and tributes on the horizon)

A Weekend in Massachusetts: Greg Brown, The Low Anthem, BCMFest, Brooks Williams and Jim Henry (Plus: Glen and Grant Lee Phillips in NYC, and tributes on the horizon) This Saturday, January 9th, is gearing up to be the most frustrating night in recent local folk music history, thanks to a huge convergence of talent in the Boston area. I've got third row tickets to see Greg Brown at Sanders Theater - a great place to see a folkfan's favorite wry basso and sensitive songwriter, who once told me a hilarious anecdote about being asked to sign a woman's breast, "and I had to hold it down with my other hand, it was so jiggly" - so I'm not really disappointed [...]

RIP Davy Graham, 1940 - 2008

Dec 16, 2008, 9:46pm Cover Lay Down
RIP Davy Graham, 1940 - 2008 It's hard to overstate the influence of multiracial and multitalented guitarist Davy Graham on modern folk music. A seminal figure in the 1960s British folk revolution, Graham's broad interest in pushing the boundaries of folk music to include jazz, blues, middle eastern, and other global musical forms opened up the genre to a world of new possibility, enriching the very foundation of folk while making it accessible to a much wider folk audience. And his distinctive use of D modal or "Celtic" tuning, which allowed artists to easily maintain an open-string [...]

Jim Henry Covers: Richard Thompson, Robert Johnson, Doc Watson, etc.

Jim Henry Covers: Richard Thompson, Robert Johnson, Doc Watson, etc. If you're a younger folkfan like myself, and you know Jim Henry at all, it's probably for his work with others – whether it's as a session musician for the likes of The Weepies, Mark Erelli , or Cliff Eberhardt, a guitar and mando collaborator with fellow stringwizard Brooks Williams a la Grisman and Garcia, or, most recently, as a David Rawlings to Tracy Grammer, whose career performing the songs of her late partner Dave Carter is much enriched by Jim's direct, honest string work, harmonies, and production.

(Re)Covered III: More Coverfolk From...Moxy Fruvous, Billy Bragg, Brooks Williams, Zydeco Songsources are ever pouring forth new and unearthed sounds: the forgotten track, the new release, your own wonderful recommendations via email or post comments. Sometimes the perfect folksong pops onto the radar (or hits the blogosphere) and demands to be shared, no matter how after-the-fact. Today, our third installment of (Re)Covered , a regular feature in which we recover a few songs that dropped through the cracks just a little too late to make it into the posts where they belonged. Better late than never, I say. Thanks to [...]
