Third Generation Coverfolk: Songs covered at Woodstock, covered again

Aug 15, 2009, 1:34am Cover Lay Down
Third Generation Coverfolk: Songs covered at Woodstock, covered again Hope no one minds an early "Sunday" post this week; I'm off to Germany in the morning, and was worried I might miss the deadline otherwise. Plus, it's the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock today . How apropos, right? Though the statistics on blog readers tell us that the majority of our readers were conceived after the summer of love, there's no denying the myriad ways in which both the Woodstock generation and the 1969 Woodstock festival have shaped our collective musical landscape.

Covering the Popular: On Folk Alley's 100 Most Essential Folk Songs of All Time

Jul 7, 2009, 8:47pm Cover Lay Down
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 [...]

Muddy Water: The Seldom Scene

Aug 20, 2008, 11:06am Keep the Coffee Coming
I can't think of anything better than a bit of bluegrass to get you souls stirring. This is from 1973's Act 3. The Seldom Scene started out of a basement. They agreed to keep their day jobs and play only once a week in clubs and on weekends. Members left and were replaced and only one of the original members, Ben Eldridge, still performs. MP3 File

James Taylor Covers: Sam Cooke, George Jones, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Foster, Peter Pan, The Drifters, and more!

Apr 27, 2008, 5:41pm Cover Lay Down
James Taylor Covers: Sam Cooke, George Jones, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Foster, Peter Pan, The Drifters, and more! A bit woozy today after yesterday's all-day drive up the East Coast from North Carolina. My head still swims with the sights of barbecue joints and crabcake stands, and roadside shacks where one can get smoked ham and sausages, local peanuts, and fireworks to celebrate it all. But it's good to be home, where the daffodils are in full blown bloom, even if the lawn still struggles against the moss and hemlock. The American South is a wonderful place to visit; I like seeing the world, and though I've been to [...]

Bluegrass? Traditional?

Mar 9, 2008, 10:33pm Old Blue Bus
Bluegrass? Traditional? No musical style is more often associated with close harmony than bluegrass. "You can't get more authentic than bluegrass music" is a refrain I hear often. After all, bluegrass is deeply rooted in the music of Appalachia and the Anglo-Celtic heritage that was its foundation. Bluegrass is played on traditional acoustic instruments. The vocals, that "high lonesome" falsetto and close harmony, are a signature sound of the Appalachians. Even the song lyrics are reminders of home, family, and a simpler life. Many people feel that bluegrass music is one of the only authentic traditional American musical styles [...]

Close Harmony

Mar 2, 2008, 9:54pm Old Blue Bus
Close Harmony The great country duets of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and even the commercial country harmonies of the Judds, the Statler Brothers and the Gatlin Brothers, all owe a debt to one of the very foundations of American music, the close harmony. While the fiddle was the most important instrument in early America, and very often the only instrument in rural communities, a lack of instruments did not deter the hard working folks that cleared a few acres of rough mountain terrain to make a home in the [...]

Bluegrass Coverfolk: The Joe Val Festival (Covers of Elvis, Waylon Jennings, The Grateful Dead, Steve Goodman, Gospel and more!)

Feb 17, 2008, 11:12pm Cover Lay Down
Bluegrass Coverfolk: The Joe Val Festival (Covers of Elvis, Waylon Jennings, The Grateful Dead, Steve Goodman, Gospel and more!) By most popular definitions, bluegrass isn't folk music. Where modern singer-songwriter folk teeters on the edge of pop, rock, and blues, today's bluegrass bands find radioplay on the country end of the dial, if at all. And though there are certainly plenty of crossover alt-country and Americana musicians out there who are welcome at both bluegrass and folk festivals, most music festivals tend to be firmly either/or. But as I've noted previously, folk and bluegrass have much in common. Both stem from the same early American [...]

Paradise Gone

Oct 21, 2007, 11:38pm Old Blue Bus
Paradise Gone "Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay. I'm sorry my son But you're too late in asking Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away." These lyrics and the tune that accompanies them are familiar to nearly everyone. I have met a few younger people who thought that the song was an old traditional song from the Appalachians. As much as it has been adopted by many traditional artists, "Paradise", of course, was written by John Prine. I suspect that all of [...]

Rising Waters

Aug 26, 2007, 8:16pm Old Blue Bus
Rising Waters This summer has brought an extraordinary amount of water to places where it shouldn't be. Seemingly endless rains have sent rivers over their banks in the UK, Bangladesh, Romania, and now the American Midwest. As a canoeist and kayaker, rivers hold a special place in my life, one of awe, inspiration, and respect. Moving water has a tremendous amount of power. When uncontained by their banks rivers bring disruption at best and devastation in the worst of circumstances. Our hearts and thoughts are with those around the world affected by this year's extraordinary flooding. [...]

A few old favorites: Springtime and good tunes

Mar 25, 2007, 11:36pm Old Blue Bus
A few old favorites: Springtime and good tunes Ah, the first weekend of spring, and what a wonderful weekend it was! The weather was perfect; just a taste of what's to come. The fresh spring air and the buds on the trees were incentive to get the gardens ready for planting. How good it was to till under the winter cover crop of clover and rapeseed and feel the soft, rich earth beneath my feet. After the chores were all done I grabbed a cold beer and an Autoharp and headed for my rocking chair on the back porch. My daughter fetched her [...]
