Coverfolk Traditions: Child Ballads in the 21st Century, Vol. 1 (including an exclusive debut from Anais Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer!)

Feb 8, 7:47pm Cover Lay Down
Coverfolk Traditions: Child Ballads in the 21st Century, Vol. 1 (including an exclusive debut from Anais Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer!) A highly anticipated new release from Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer is starting to make the rounds, and though it's only early February, we're going to go out on a limb and declare Child Ballads an early contender for best tradfolk album of the year. And we're clearly not going to be alone, either: with 6 weeks left to its March 19th US release date, the seven track album has already garnered high and well-deserved praise from Pitchfork, and a full-page feature in today's edition of The Sun seems a harbinger of loud and voluminious [...]

Rayna Gellert – Old Light

Jan 8, 6:30pm Record Dept. Music Reviews
Longtime stringband member Rayna Gellert has struck out on her own with a debut solo album, Old Light: Songs from My Childhood and Other Gone Worlds.

The set of ten songs is comprised of traditionals and a few originals, and while Gellert is known for her fiddle work, here she primarily [...]

The Year’s Best Coverfolk, Vol. 1: Tribute Albums and Covers Collections (2012)

Dec 28, 2012, 6:16pm Cover Lay Down
The Year’s Best Coverfolk, Vol. 1: Tribute Albums and Covers Collections (2012) It’s coming on 2013, and for weeks, otherbloggers and tastemakers have been touting their 2012 picks, jostling to be the best and first match for your own preferences, inviting debate over position in the ranks. And once again, here I am, after weeks of archival digging and false starts, late out of the gate and still struggling with the sheer hubris of presenting my own Year In Review. As I noted last December atop our Best Coverfolk of 2011 feature, my reluctance to pass judgement isn’t a cop-out. I’m a relatively fickle listener, but I’m [...]

Rayna Gellert – “Old Light (Songs From My Childhood & Other Gone Worlds)” Story Sounds Records, Oct. 2)

Oct 15, 2012, 2:42pm songsillinois
Rayna Gellert – “Old Light (Songs From My Childhood & Other Gone Worlds)” Story Sounds Records, Oct. 2) At this point in time many variables have to come togehter for me to bother to do a post on here. The key one is of course the quality of the music but lesser variables include the amount of coverage an artist has already garnered, the production of the track (I'm drawn more than ever to a lofi sound) and simply the time I have to devote to this blog. Reyna Gellert's new record Old Light easily clears all my self imposed hurdles. You'll know Rayna Gellert if you are [...]

Quatre à la suite : E.C. Ball, Patty Griffin, Jason Boesel, Auld Lang Syne

Feb 13, 2010, 3:04am There's Always Someone Cooler Than You
1. Un hommage à E.C. Ball incite à en savoir plus sur ce pionnier du country-folk traditionnel. Enregistrés pour la première fois en 1937 par John Lomax, Estil Cortez Ball et son épouse Orna dédiaient leur talent au gospel mais leur répertoire (dont une bonne partie est écrit de leur plume) allait bien au-delà. Parmi les artistes réunis sur Face A Frowning World: An E.C. Ball Memorial Album (
