SOLSTICE & CHRISTMAS MUSIC (12/22/2010)

Music for the Solstice's Lunar Eclipse and the Christmas Season. Pagan folk from Cascadia, acoustic Christmas carols and some strange surprises.
 

New Discovery: By the Hum of Ullr's Bow, A Collection of Winter Songs from Hex Magazine. The Northwest is home to a little-known community of pagan and heathen musicians actively creating a new form of folk music based on our rich, organic landscape. Inspired by medieval texts, seasonal rituals, shamanic philosophies and back-to-the earth living, these musicians range from raging folk metal band Fauna to the deeply introspective atmospherics of a minority of one or the obscure ritualism of Waldteufel. This compilation CD features NW and European neo-folk bands.

SING-ALONG SONGWRITERS (12/01/2010)

Some of our favorite singer-songwriters. We get a lot of submissions in this genre, and we've picked carefully through all our CDs for the best tracks. Enjoy!

New Discovery: The Daytrotter Sessions. Daytrotter is a great website that offers live sessions with a whole slew of nationally famous acts for free download. The sessions are recorded by Daytrotter and in a number of cases they sound better than the actual studio recordings.

It's mostly indie and indie rock, unfortunately, but they do have some good folk or alt-country or indie folk artists. Here are my suggestions for listening:

Alela Diane, Tumbledown, The Builders and the Butchers, Ani Difranco, Avett Brothers, Blind Boys of Alabama, The Cave Singers, Frank Fairfield, Dave Rawlings Machine, Laura Veirs, Mariee Sioux. The Tallest Man on Earth

Check it out and enjoy!

New Discovery: Kris Drever
Kris isn't exactly a new discovery. We posted about his truly wonderful album with banjo master Eamonn Coyne, Honk Toot Suite, a while ago on our blog. The track from that album, The Viking's Bride, is an ear-tingling masterpiece of Celtic song. And it's streaming on the blog (thanks to Kris and Compass). So go listen already.

I just picked up Kris' older album, Black Water, through Compass Records' $5 sale (thanks Compass!) and was again blown away by the beauty of his singing. His voice has an introspective quality that lights up these old ballads. I wish I could get my hands on his new album, but it's almost $30 on Amazon. I've begged him to let me do his US publicity, but no luck there either. Bottom line is this guy needs to be a helluva a lot better known than he is! He gives me hope for these old songs in our new world.

New Discovery: Sir Victor Uwaifo

I'll admit that I know very little about the music of Nigeria, aside from big names like Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade, and I'd thought of Nigerian music as upbeat, brass-driven afro-pop. So this track from Nigerian bandleader Sir Victor Uwaifo came as a surprise (thanks to James Whetzel for posting the video for Uwaifo's song "Dododo (Ekassa No. 1)" on Facebook). I can't really describe why this track seems so eerie. Perhaps the wheezy, trippy organ playing, or the soft, droning voice. I don't think an aspect of African culture has gotten under my skin like this since I saw those crazy painted coffins at the Seattle Art Museum. I was gratified to read about Uwaifo's use of mythical or supernatural imagery in his music. This track sure seems to hold a link to Nigeria's mythic past. Check out the track via this YouTube video:

Also, read the YouTube comments. As African musicians move out of the exoticized roles that they've been allowed in Western culture, and as more and more Africans gain access to YouTube, we start to encounter a whole new perspective on the musicians. And we start to learn...

Theme: STRAIGHT-UP FOLK

New Discovery: Cort Armstrong & Blue Rooster
We promoted Cort Armstrong's hip solo blues CD, Chicken Pickin', a little while ago and have been in love with his music and playing for some time now. He's got what we call the "Appalachian X Factor": that chilling vocal and playing quality that just keeps you listening. Can't explain it. He passed us an earlier CD from when he was living in the South and had formed a band, Blue Rooster, and we were again blown away by the quality and taste of his music. It's a great CD that we heartily recommend!

Theme: WORKING STIFFS

New Discovery: Mr. Lif (I Heard it Today)
Mr. Lif is a well known force in the underground hip-hop world, but following a brutal tour bus accident, he's been off the scene for the past few years. It seems like his most recent album, I Heard It Today dropped without a ton of fanfare in 2009, which is a damn shame. I've been thinking of Lif as my generation's version of Woody Guthrie. Like Guthrie, he's able to channel our anger over the nation's economic collapse and the exploitation of hard working people by greedy corporations. Turns out somethings never change.
