"In the late 1960's, the Seattle Folklore Society and KCTS public television video taped various acts that came through town." Thanks to Mr. Dante Fontana for the find!
First a proper blast of banjo, still not allowed one in the house, that's why I'm getting a shed. Both Roscoe Holcomb's albums are highly recommended. Music with grit. Listen: Roscoe Holcomb - Married Life Blues - Buy it Jean Shepard could probably fill an album with wedding, marriage and divorce related songs. I think we've found our Lonesome groove again - check out these beauties: Listen: Jean Shepard - My Wedding Ring Listen: Jean Shepard - Don't Fall in Love [...]
Hey Revolutionaries! With the sun finally defeating the frost I find myself listening to music that is not metal. I usually find myself listening to more folk and generally sunny music. Here are some songs to sip some spiked ice tea to. Xiu Xiu rendition of the appalachian folk song "Cumberland Gap The Defibulators covering The Smiths "This Charming Man" [...]
You can slowly feel the autumn coming on now in these parts and I almost immediately caught a cold like you wouldn´t believe. This afternoon´s garlic soup helped somewhat, but I could really do with some pure mountain air right now to clear the head. As that´s not possible alas, let´s settle for some timeless tunes from the mythical mountains of Kentucky. These field recordings were made in ´59 by neo-folkie John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers, and feature a bunch of old folks sittin´ on the porch in [...]

Najma Akhtar answered a knock on the door of her London flat one day in 2006 to find a mysterious man standing there, cowboy hat on his head, guitar case in his hand.

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 [...]

the piece on field recordings by burkhard bilger in the 28 april issue of the new yorker sent me combing back through the a.g. archives for a collection of songs by the kentucky mountain music legend roscoe holcomb called the high lonesome sound . holcomb was a coal miner and a farmer and, in the end, something of a steward for a host of traditional appalachian folk songs. hymns and ballads and old-time music, borne of pre-modern rural life. the high lonesome sound , recorded over fifteen years and released [...]
From 1961 through 1965, the Friends of Old Time Music (FOTM) brought 14 concerts of traditional folk music, old time country music, bluegrass, blues and religious music to New York City audiences. The concerts represented the first NY appearances - often the first urban appearance - by influential artists like Dock Boggs , Maybelle Carter , Bill Monroe , Missippi John Hurt and Roscoe Holcomb . Smithsonian Folkways just released a box set of recordings ( Friends of Old Time Music: The Folk Arrival 1961 - 1965 ) from these [...]
* Roscoe Holcomb: Moonshiner (2.0 mb) | Little Birdie (2.5 mb) | Walk Around My Bedside (4.0 mb) From The High Lonesome Sound : Smithsonian Folkways Recordings : SF CD 40104 There's something that's just so magical to me about that old tyme sound. The idea that this whole musical style developed in relative backwoods isolation, with self taught musicians passing songs down from generation to generation, utilizing the oral traditions, is just incredible to me.
