Covered In Folk: Dougie MacLean (Caledonia, Cara Dillon, Mary Black, Brooks Williams and more!)

Nov 20, 2011, 9:09am Cover Lay Down
Covered In Folk: Dougie MacLean (Caledonia, Cara Dillon, Mary Black, Brooks Williams and more!) As with many of our more folk-oriented Covered In Folk subjects, I discovered the work of Dougie MacLean through two primary sources: through my father, who handed me one of his albums over a decade ago, and through label-watching, after discovering the same poignant song twice over, in separate female voices, and realizing that neither of them had written it. The song in question is Caledonia , the Latin name for Scotland, and as its matronymic title implies, though it treats its subject as an anthropomorphised object of desire, its lyrics truly [...]

New Artists, (Re)Covered: Still-Rising Stars Ruth Notman, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Fort DeClare & more!

Oct 16, 2010, 2:55pm Cover Lay Down
New Artists, (Re)Covered: Still-Rising Stars Ruth Notman, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Fort DeClare & more! The mailbox is stuffed to the gills with sweet sounds from artists we first noted as new and rising stars - a validating turn of events, proving that the young songwriters we feature in our New Artists, Old Songs series and elsewhere really are the next generation of folk music. Today, we celebrate our prescience with a look at the newest output from some increasingly familiar under-thirty voices, each well worth keeping on the radar screen. Though we featured her famous families early [...]

Covering the Popular: On Folk Alley’s 100 Most Essential Folk Songs of All Time First and foremost: To my immense and pleasurable surprise, as of last week, Cover Lay Down has broken into the top 100 over at leading music blog aggregator Hype Machine . Thanks, folks. It is, as always, an honor and a privilege to serve the community, and I appreciate the recognition that such list-making signifies. It's worth noting here that although bandwidth costs rise with each new tier in popularity, we are probably one a very few blogs to make it that high on the list without [...]

Covered in Folk: Richard Thompson (Kate Rusby, Buddy and Julie Miller, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and 8 more!)

May 12, 2009, 11:08pm Cover Lay Down
Covered in Folk: Richard Thompson (Kate Rusby, Buddy and Julie Miller, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and 8 more!) I have a strong memory of being halfway up the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Hill, the sun setting, the stage small in the distance, trying to figure out what people see in Richard Thompson . The man was clearly a legend, and a draw indeed; the hill was as full as I've seen it. But that voice, and the signature solo electric guitar, echoed off the hills like a sour note in my ears. I wandered off to put the kids in their bunks, and tucked Thompson away in my mind for [...]

The Tradfolk Revival: Young Brit Femfolk with today's guest host: Divinyl

Jul 18, 2008, 12:41pm Cover Lay Down
The Tradfolk Revival: Young Brit Femfolk with today's guest host: Divinyl This post has absolutely squat to do with the picture above, but it is a feast of British folk, therefore I thought that the picture was fitting; just ignore the artist listing. I shall start with a confession - I am entirely rubbish. I am a terrible procrastinator and someone who often does things at the very last opportunity. And that is the case here. I feel slightly shame-faced tarnishing such a wonderful blog with my efforts, but honoured to have been offered the privilege, therefore I could not resist posting just a little something. [...]
