Music Review: Various Artists - Mark Twain: Words and Music
Country stars re-tell the story of Mark Twain.
As we've alluded to in our recurring Covered in Kidfolk series, there's a growing universe of family-friendly music out there that doesn't suck, and a large portion of it seems to be centered around the American Northeast region which we call home. Not all of it is folk, of course - increasingly, alternative music, world music, and even rap have found a niche in the hands and ears of cool moms and dads, who continue to insist on healthy yet artistically mature songs which they can enjoy alongside their offspring.

Raffi : Bananaphone [ purchase ] Rhonda Vincent : Bananaphone [ purchase Country Goes Raffi - it's amazingly awesome!] Seriously: this song isn't as bad as you think it is. Sure, it's made for kids. It's plenty silly, enough to have staying power as viral meme in the digital world. It's got such a high catchiness quotient, it's prone to get stuck in the brain for days. [...]

It seems like the only thing cooler than being a hipster is claiming not to be one. So lest we be considered hipsters I decided to cover some music that hasn't been "hip" in 40 years by attending Louisville, KY's inaugural HullabaLOU Music Festival in Louisville, KY. The event spread out over three days at Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. It was cool seeing bands on the infield, in a place with so much rich history, and it was cool for a new music festival to [...]

As a madman shakes a dead geranium. I seem to have done a fair bit of dead geranium shaking recently (literally and figuratively) and my northern exploits have meant that I've seen a fair whack of midnight sun. So, let's have some songs about the witching hour to celebrate the nights drawing in. Listen: Porter Wagoner - Midnight (this is an absolute corker) Listen: Rhonda Vincent - Midnight Angel Listen: Buddy Holly - Midnight Shift (oddly, this seems a [...]

As a child of the eighties, I grew up with a popcultural impression of Dolly Parton as a rhinestone MILF, the ditzy blond of 9 to 5 and Islands in the Stream , famous for being famous. When my father passed me her 2001 folk/bluegrass album Little Sparrow , which mixes her own originals with several great and surprising covers, I was startled to find myself a fan of the album, more than merely appreciative of the sweet longing in her clear, delicate performance, but I figured it [...]

I want to like folkie bluegrass music. I really do. I love the artistry, love the sound of the mandolin. I'm impressed by virtuoso playing. I like the melancholia. I love Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, the old farts. I like old country, The Carter Family, even Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn. I want to like what's coming out now. I keep trying, I do. But I keep getting bored. I feel like I'm betraying my roots to say so. [...]
School's been out for days, and I'm already exhausted. But after a whirlwind tour of relatives and sled runs, Sturbridge Village sleigh rides and Santa stocking mornings, the kids are sugared up, full of pep and peppermint. What to do with a case of the sillies? What better time for another round of Covered in Kidfolk? Last time on Covered in Kidfolk we brought you a sweet set of lullabies and softsongs ; songs in that post are still live, just in case today's songs tire [...]
