The Duhks : Everybody Knows [ purchase ] Does everybody really know? One thing for certain is that The Duhks kick butt with this Leonard Cohen cover. Their highly-arranged Americana music draws inspiration from various genres. The Winnipeg quintet complemented its 2005 self-titled CD with several well-known guest artists (Paul Brady, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Abigail Washburn, Victor Wooten). The result was a tightly crafted, innovative mix of songs with haunting vocals and striking guitar, banjo, bass, fiddle and percussion. Even some low whistle and [...]

Before we were slaves in Egypt, we were Joseph's brothers and their wives, working at the right hand of a seemingly benevolent pharaoh. But as more modern freedom movements have reminded us over and over again, trust in institutions is a trust misplaced, for power shared unilaterally is power that can be withheld. 400 years and a dozen generations, and we find ourselves both enslaved and feared for our potential power as usurpers. And yet. Without Pharaoh's breeding program, we would not have become a people. Without the pressure of [...]

While every other blogger is busy posting the new Girls track (which is awesome even though I'm not a huge fan their last album) or the M83 song (less than awesome), and whatever else is generating a buzz, all I can think about and listen to at the moment are bluegrass tunes. If Bluegrass was a season, it'd be summer . It is best enjoyed outside, preferably near a river and a campfire. Recently, I've been voluntarily taking heavy aural doses of mandolin and banjo. I had a hard time resisting doing a jig while waiting for a train [...]

It's Halloween weekend, and the convenience stores are already crawling with costumed partiers, weaving to and fro in the aisles with their masks askew. Back at school, the kids are having a Halloween black-light dance; here at home, we're gearing up for a Wonka Weekend - I'll be the Candyman, the better to hand out treats; the wee ones are a Oompa Loompa and a squirrel, respectively; and won't we look grand, in bright costumes and borrowed wigs, at the local children's museum tomorrow evening, then up and down the streets of smalltown America on Sunday proper.

Canadiana Week draws to a close now, and I hope you've enjoyed learning more about some of our friends from the North. During the week, I tried to focus on new music from some newer and less well known artists. Of course, I don't want to neglect anyone... so I thought I'd close the week by highlighting a few of my old favorites. Since the week was mostly female dominated, we'll start today with Luke Doucet. Luke is a singer/songwriter from Halifax who is also phenomenally talented on the [...]
I've been thinking bluegrass all week, thanks to a pair of tickets to this weekend's Joe Val Festival - an annual mid-winter marathon excursion which we've written about profusely in past years. It's a form that often doesn't get included in the folk blogger pantheon, save for the tradfolk and oldtimey set, and a tiny handful of Bluegrass specialists, but here at Cover Lay Down we like to define our terms broadly. In an older sense, of course, our inclusion of the 'grass is easy to defend: bluegrass is most definitely [...]
Maura O'Connell's unparalleled vocal power is beautifully displayed in her impressive new album. Naked With Friends is the Irish singer's humorous way of describing this very serious and poignant work of vocal art. Determined to show that "just a singer" can possess as much talent as any musician, O'Connell recorded this collection of a cappella performances with the help of singers Kate Rusby, Dolly Parton, The Settlers Connection, Jerry Douglas, Crooked Still's Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Dugas of The Duhks, Altan's Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Clannad's Moya Brennan, Mary Black, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott, Paul Brady, Liam Bradley, [...]
Though I consider myself a folk blogger first and foremost, as our masthead notes, coversong has its own appeal, both as kitsch and culture. And I make no apologies for the focus, nor do I regret the readership it brings. After all, even if just a few of you get hooked on a new song or artist each week, we all win in the process. Of course, it's worth noting that, as a coverblogger, I'm somewhat of an anomaly. The community of coverbloggers is a small one, and it tends [...]
The Duhks opened up in Raleigh, North Carolina’s humble Berkeley Cafe with an unexpected cover of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”. Freshly inked onto the night’s set-list, they explained their rendition would soon appear on a compilation with the likes of Amos Lee and Lucinda Williams also covering 1960s/70s songwriters of their choosing. Nothing like an exciting morsel to whet your appetite for the rest of the set and just like The Duhks to help you lose your footing right off the bat. Although listening to The Duhks’ severely [...]
Do you have those people in your life that tell you “You’ve gotta hear so-and-so”, hand you their album and you know it's going to be good? A few years ago, the friends filling that role in my life kept mentioning The Duhks . I dragged my feet until they came to town to play a 100-year-old sanctuary-turned-music venue. From the moment The Duhks took the stage with their mandolins, banjos and world rhythms, the band captivated our entire crew, ages seven to thirty-seven years old. Though they’ve been around since 2002, the past year brought the [...]
The Duhks (rhymes with 'bucks'), from Winnepeg, in their latest incarnation, dish label-defying, soulful pizazz. The centerpiece of the group is their new singer of prodigious talent (seriously - think steamroller like Billie and Ella), Sarah Dugas. She and her full-kit drumming brother, Christian, joined wonderfully unique founder Leonard Podolak on banjo, fine fiddler Tania Elizabeth, and mellow guitarist Jordan McConnellon, further convoluting the already environmentally and politically aware, genre-bending, acoustic bluegrassy roots of the band. The result is an impressive, encompassing futureworld of blended cultural influences and cross-pollinated styles worthy of Bulworth's approval. In person, The Duhks' [...]
Canadian grown The Duhks (sounds like the animals that go "quack") combine hillbilly-soul with environmental sustainability like no other band out there. Touring a festival circuit on biodiesel, The Duhks just played Stagecoach in Indio. We're happy to have them for a live session in the studio this week before they continue on their quest to enlighten audiences with rootsy music, organic wares and comestibles, and a mission to reduce, renew and offset. From their latest album, Fast Paced World (Sugar Hill, 2008), [...]

Maura O'Connell's unparalleled vocal power is beautifully displayed in her impressive new album. Naked With Friends is the Irish singer's humorous way of describing this very serious and poignant work of vocal art. Determined to show that "just a singer" can possess as much talent as any musician, O'Connell recorded this collection of a cappella performances with the help of singers Kate Rusby, Dolly Parton, The Settlers Connection, Jerry Douglas, Crooked Still's Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Dugas of The Duhks, Altan's Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Clannad's Moya Brennan, Mary Black, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Darrell Scott, Paul Brady, Liam Bradley, [...]

Though I consider myself a folk blogger first and foremost, as our masthead notes, coversong has its own appeal, both as kitsch and culture. And I make no apologies for the focus, nor do I regret the readership it brings. After all, even if just a few of you get hooked on a new song or artist each week, we all win in the process. Of course, it's worth noting that, as a coverblogger, I'm somewhat of an anomaly. The community of coverbloggers is a small one, and it tends [...]

The Duhks charm Raleigh’s Berkeley Cafe (6/21)

The Duhks opened up in Raleigh, North Carolina’s humble Berkeley Cafe with an unexpected cover of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”. Freshly inked onto the night’s set-list, they explained their rendition would soon appear on a compilation with the likes of Amos Lee and Lucinda Williams also covering 1960s/70s songwriters of their choosing. Nothing like an exciting morsel to whet your appetite for the rest of the set and just like The Duhks to help you lose your footing right off the bat. Although listening to The Duhks’ severely [...]

Do you have those people in your life that tell you “You’ve gotta hear so-and-so”, hand you their album and you know it's going to be good? A few years ago, the friends filling that role in my life kept mentioning The Duhks . I dragged my feet until they came to town to play a 100-year-old sanctuary-turned-music venue. From the moment The Duhks took the stage with their mandolins, banjos and world rhythms, the band captivated our entire crew, ages seven to thirty-seven years old. Though they’ve been around since 2002, the past year brought the [...]
Luxury Wafers Exclusive: The Duhks, Live@Chessvolt Studios

The Duhks (rhymes with 'bucks'), from Winnepeg, in their latest incarnation, dish label-defying, soulful pizazz. The centerpiece of the group is their new singer of prodigious talent (seriously - think steamroller like Billie and Ella), Sarah Dugas. She and her full-kit drumming brother, Christian, joined wonderfully unique founder Leonard Podolak on banjo, fine fiddler Tania Elizabeth, and mellow guitarist Jordan McConnellon, further convoluting the already environmentally and politically aware, genre-bending, acoustic bluegrassy roots of the band. The result is an impressive, encompassing futureworld of blended cultural influences and cross-pollinated styles worthy of Bulworth's approval. In person, The Duhks' [...]

Canadian grown The Duhks (sounds like the animals that go "quack") combine hillbilly-soul with environmental sustainability like no other band out there. Touring a festival circuit on biodiesel, The Duhks just played Stagecoach in Indio. We're happy to have them for a live session in the studio this week before they continue on their quest to enlighten audiences with rootsy music, organic wares and comestibles, and a mission to reduce, renew and offset. From their latest album, Fast Paced World (Sugar Hill, 2008), [...]
