This is from The Circle Game released in 1968.
What's up papercranes? It's me again, Chris from dailybeatz with another edition of everyone's favorite musical discovery game. Yes, you guessed it, we're talkin' bout some Hypem Hunting. In case you forgot from last time, this is how the game works. Go to hypem.com, pick a random word, search it in the search box, and then listen to a bunch of songs you've never heard until you find a bunch that you like. This week, the word was "rush", and here's what we've discovered. Let's travel back in time. The [...]
Another Wednesday, another edition of everyone' favorite music aggregator discovery game. In case you missed the first 7 editions, (almost) every week, we pick a random word (or have it picked for us), search for that word on The Hype Machine and then post some of our favorite tunes that we found. This week's word was randomly chosen by our friend tkop , and the word he chose was "rush", thanks to some CNN headlines. So let's see what we found. Let's travel back in time. The year in 1965, and [...]
This is from the album Take a Little Walk With Me, released in 1966.
We're long overdue for a comprehensive look at the Guthrie legacy here on these pages. And with Arlo's infamous long-form Thanksgiving narrative Alice's Restaurant Massacree riding the airwaves this weekend in anticipation of next week's inevitable all-Christmas-all-day switch-over, it seems there's no time like the present. Thinking more deeply, though, Woody's songbook also bears out well as a soundtrack for giving thanks. So many of his narratives point to the dustbowl world, with its depression-era desperation for that which we take for granted today, from freedoms to support structures, [...]
I've been in Boston for a new literacies teacher institute for the last few days, pushing the limits of my ability to multitask and taxing my brain with theory and new possibilities; it's intense, and though I'm loving the work and the collaboration, the sustained concentration - and the all-day, full-body headache which has resulted - has left me a bit too drained to do justice to anything up to our usual standards. But last night before the pain kicked in Dad and I headed off to catch Devon Sproule and Paul [...]

Die Wurzeln des Folksongs „The Cuckoo" reichen bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurück. Durch die Welt geistert das Stück bis heute. Der Urheber dieses sehnsüchtigen Stücks, das vom Schicksal eines heimatlosen Glückspielers erzählt, ist unbekannt. Im späten 18. Jahrhundert beginnt der englische Folksong erstmals auf Notenblättern aufzutauchen. Darauf fliegt "The Cuckoo" über den Atlantik, worauf der Song [...]
Though we're practicing Jewnitarians in the Howdy house, I still keep kosher for Passover each year, substituting matzoh for bread, avoiding other flour-based foods save those heavy sanctioned substitutes made with matzoh meal, skipping beer for mead - even eschewing corn syrup, since corn can ferment in storage, for cane sugar sodas and juices where I can find them throughout the eight days and nights of praxis. In traditional Jewish homes, preparing the household as a sacred space for the holiday involves two rituals: the first of gathering in whole loaves and stlll-edibles and selling [...]

This is from a 1996 album called The Bluesville Years, Vol. 7: Blues Blue, Blues White. It's part of a series on the Prestige label. MP3 File
Tom Rush ( official Wiki AMG ) is a folk singer who's been a professional musician for 48 years. This is from an early album, recorded in 1963. This version of Stag has a verse I've never heard anywhere else, wherein Stag's woman, Roberta, guesses that he's killed someone, and Stag replies that the sky does look foreboding, doesn't it. I know it looks silly typed up like that, but I swear the first time I heard this I shivered. Remember last week when I was so down on Terry Melcher, and [...]

I was going through my Box.net account, my online storage facility, and I found several MP3's I had loaded in with the intention of posting, but never got around to. In the interests of completion, and because they are worth hearing, I am posting them now, with little or no comment. These Days This is a Jackson Browne song that has been covered many times. The original impetus for this post was the latest Glen Campbell album, Meet Glen Campbell , on which he covers [...]
This is from What I Know released last February and his first studio album in thirty-five years. MP3 File yousendit
I've spent three days now by my father's bedside, watching as he grows slowly stronger, and learns to measure and monitor the pain of his newly reconstructed back. I've held his hand, and learned its lines anew, even as I have learned to work around the bruising from the saline feed. Each day is more tiring that I could have expected, for both of us. But no matter how exhausted I am, each night, I come home, and sit on his couch, and drink his beer, and play his records alone [...]
Pretty weak release week. Other than a few big names that are past their prime, the one album I highly recommend is Laura Gibson 's Beasts of Seasons . Arguably one of the best releases of the year so far. :: Air France , No Way Down (101 Distribution) :: The Alternate Routes , A Sucker's Dream (Vanguard) :: August Burns Red , Lost Messengers: The Outtakes (Solid State) :: Black Lips , 200 Million [...]
A criminally underrated songwriter who's too often relegated to the "sensitive California" scene of Laurel Canyon, Browne released his solo debut in 1972 as a fully formed 23 year-old sensation.
