If you've never availed yourself of the massive amount of free streaming concerts (2,709 as of today) at Wolfgang's Concert Vault , please take the time to poke around there. There's everything from Mother Maybelle Carter to Cream to the Nuns to Holy Fuck, recorded live at some classic venues. You'll also find shows from the King Biscuit Flower Hour , Noise Pop , and Daytrotter ( All the Daytrotters!). They release new shows periodically, and whenever I get the chance to pore through them, I'll slide you a couple [...]
Last year's trip to the American south provided an opportunity to explore the works of Elizabeth Cotten and Doc Watson , two pre-War progenitors of style who, by taking the music of their own communities and reinventing it for the masses, helped define the scope and breadth of modern folk music. I quite enjoyed the research, and though the tracks are long gone, I think the features stand on their own as some of our better work since the blog began. As I noted earlier this week , [...]
I had a fella come over to the house yesterday to do a little work, and I figured I may as well make a good impression and play some good music. I had never met this guy before, but I can pretty much guarantee that if you've got someone coming over and you put some Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee on, at some point your visitor will turn to you and say with great sincerity, "Nice music." So thanks to Sonny & Terry, I got to engage in a conversation about the music our fathers had turned us [...]

After two years of dance class, my elder daughter decided this year to switch over to Yoga. Meanwhile, her sister is a budding musical theater fan, one who takes to preschool sing-and-dancealongs as easily as she does craft projects. Neither comes from particularly athletic genepools - my wife and I were chorus and theater geeks, not track and field stars -- and given their natural tendencies, they're not about to turn into the kind of kid who rules the schoolyard. But the common thread is clear, I think: both have a strong affinity for [...]

In the 1880s, large numbers of newly freed slaves were hired to help build the railroads. In this period, the legend of John Henry was born. One of the most important jobs at that time was cutting blasting holes into the sides of mountains; explosives were than placed in these holes to make tunnels. These blasting holes were originally cut by hand by men like John Henry, who wielded large hammers to accomplish the task. In time, technological advances brought the steam drill, and threatened these men's jobs. The legend and the song tell of how John Henry [...]
