Festival Radio Update - Live 365 has changed the broadcasting packages. I now have a lot more disk storage space and will either be adding additional songs and staying at the same bit rate or broadcasting at a higher quality (96K instead of 64K). Any thoughts on which I should do? Let me know.

Back catalog ripping update - Longtime readers of this blog know that I had a catastrophic hard-drive crash several months ago and that I continue to rip back catalog CDs for reinsertion in the Festival Radio playlist. I store CDs in alphabetical order by artist (with a few exceptions), and am ripping them in that order. Last night, I ripped all of my Levellers CDs. Now that I have a much faster computer, a laptop, I can put the CDs in while I'm watching TV or reading a book in the evening. My focus, of course, is on listening to the latest CDs I receive in the mail, but the catalog ripping has progressed rapidly over the last month or so.

I've decided that simpler is better. I'm trying out a name change - the Online Folk Festival is now Festival Radio. We'll see how that works for awhile. If not, I'll change it back. The website will remain at http://www.onlinefolkfestival.com for now, since the domain is paid for and a radio production company has festivalradio.com.

I got back from a week in northern Michigan to find some great new releases from The Strangelings (Pete and Maura Kennedy's new band) and Christine Lavin in my mailbox. Of course, they have been added. Here is the complete list of new adds since I reported last:

Artist - Album

• The Strangelings - Season of the Witch
• Christine Lavin - Happydance of the Xenophobe
• Mae Robertson - Dream

Labels: New Adds, Online Folk Festival

Added tracks from 3 new albums to the Online Folk Festival over the weekend:

• The Possum Trot Orchestra - Harbor Road
• Junction Pool - Junction Pool
• The Wyrd Sisters - Wholly

I'm really making an effort to get through the black hole that has become my backlog of CDs to listen to.

I'm really impressed with the Junction Pool CD. They bill themselves as Celtic Big Band, and they add some really nice jazz touches to traditional Celtic music, including a horn section and some very cool jazz chord progressions that one would not typically find in traditional music. For those that like music that fuses elements of different genres and traditions, this is a group worth checking out and following - this is their debut CD.

Still sorting through the holiday mail and purchases after being in Florida for a week, so if you sent me something to preview, it may be a little while yet.

I added tracks today from a few CDs received or bought over the holiday period:

• Lynn Miles - Love Sweet Love
• Yusuf - An Other Cup
• JJ Cale and Eric Clapton - The Road to Escondido
• Loreena McKennitt - An Ancient Muse

I also received the new Byrds box set for Christmas, so you'll be hearing some tracks from that soon, as well as the new Joan Osborne and some Celtic music from Éamonn Coyne & Kris Drever. I imagine that I'll start receiving a flurry of Celtic music in the mail over the next few weeks, as a lot of Celtic bands release in the beginning of the year in time for St. Pat's. I also received the new 3-CD Live from Studio A Volume 10 set from WCBE, and you'll be hearing new live tracks from The Kennedys, Chris Smither, and some other great artists. I also lucked into a 2-CD Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver retrospective CD for $3.99 while in Florida, so you'll be hearing some tracks from that one soon, too.

Yesterday, June 14, marked the sixth anniversary of what is now known as The Online Folk Festival. It started as a lark on June 14, 2000, originally broadcasting under the name "Woodsmeister's Forest" and then "The Folk/Rock Buffet" before finally becoming the Online Folk Festival. I look at the statistics and it still amazes me that I have listeners from around the world. It's also been one year since upgrading the sound to 64K MP3Pro. It's been a fun ride - thanks for coming along.

Some Random Thoughts

• My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to see two really fine performers recently - David Wilcox, at Little Brother's in Columbus, and Ashley Cleveland, at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville while in town for a wedding. Both concerts were fantastic, but they were both very different. David Wilcox shows are more like metaperformances-Wilcox's stated text for the evening seems to be the function of live music - a show about doing a show, if you will. He's a fantastic performer, a top-notch storyteller, but sometimes he seemed too wrapped up in the postmodernness of it all. He is a really amazing guitar player as well. Ashley Cleveland didn't say much - she and her tight band just romped their way through some kick-ass blues rock gospel. Both performers blew away their rooms.
• The more I listen to it, the more I am impressed with the new Laura Cortese album, Even the Lost Creek. She provides a nice mix of pop and traditional influences, including a fine resetting of "Jack Orion," some nifty fiddling, and several originals. The highlights, though, are two previously unreleased Josh Ritter-penned songs, "The Boat Song" and "Bluejays."
• What was with the clown noses that many Olympic athletes wore in the parade of athletes in the closing ceremonies in Turin? Was it an homage to the US team?
• Speaking of the Olympics, I am a sucker. I will watch curling if it's live and if the US team is playing. I will watch ice dancing and other figure skating events. Once every four years to watch figure skating is just about right, though I have to admit that the new scoring system takes a lot of the fun out of it for me. I miss seeing the blatant nationalism in the judging and all the geopolitical controversy. Now it's just about who hits the jumps with no cold war implications.
• The new Railroad Earth two-disk live CD, Elko, is incredible. This band is so talented that it's scary. Right now, they may be the best band from New Jersey.
• It's nice to see that the new Chuck Brodsky CD, Tulips for Lunch, contains not one, but two baseball songs, and also a football song, about the sorry day that Philadelphia Eagles fans pelted Santa Claus with snowballs. The political song on this CD, "Liar Liar Pants on Fire", is not nearly as effective for me as "Dangerous Times" from his previous album, because it lacks any subtlety. The best political songs have a timeless quality, typically with an effective controlling metaphor, like Pete Seeger's Viet Nam era classic "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" (which Richard Shindell recently covered, with obvious parallels to Iraq). "Dangerous Times" was brilliant - it was funny, it was timeless, it was scary, thoughtful. The new song is none of these things - just political screed. Otherwise, it is a fine collection of stories featuring Brodsky's impeccable storytelling, with instrumental and production help from JP Cormier. Brodsky is becoming one of my favorite folk artists.
• Another artist rapidly becoming a favorite is Mark Erelli. His new disk, Hope and Other Casualties, is his best yet.
• The new Tom Russell is also excellent. I'll be adding tracks from the new disk, Love and Fear, next week.
• I'm currently reading a fascinating book. 1491 by Charles Mann is an exploration of what the Americas was like before Columbus.

New Adds:

• Chuck Brodsky: Tulips for Lunch
• Annie Gallup: Half of My Crime
• Austin & Elliott: 13 Songs Plus
• Railroad Earth: Elko
• Jules Shear: Dreams Don't Count
• Jim Henry and Brooks Williams: Ring Some Changes (been looking for it for ages, found it in Nashville, still sealed, for $6.99!)
• The American Wake: Tell No Tales
• The Mammals: Departure
• Mark Erelli: Hope and Other Casualties

I also have received new disks from fiddler Darol Anger and singer/songwriters johnsmith and Lui Collins that I haven't had time to give proper attention to but that you'll be hearing soon.

Once again, as seems to be ever the case, it's been way too long since I've blogged new adds. So, here they are.

Donal Hinely - Giants
#3 on my Top 10 of 2005, this is a great folk/Americana album. It is political without being preachy, nostalgic without being treacly, and filled with songs with hooks. "Shock and Awe" is the best political song I've heard all year. "Giants", a yearning for a leader with character worth believing in, is a close second. Other highlights included the nostalgic "Before Music Was a Product" and "Talking Cheap Trick Blues."

Great Big Sea - The Hard and the Easy
It's really nice to hear these talented folk rockers make a great album of some of the traditional Newfoundland tunes that have inspired them.

Joel Mabus - Parlor Guitar
Guitarist extraordinaire Joel Mabus performs pieces from the ealy 1900s on a "parlor guitar."

Odetta - Gonna Let it Shine
Backed by the Holmes Brothers, Odetta shows she is still at the top of her game and a compelling performer on this holiday concert mixing traditional gospel and spirituals. Her explication of the references on the classic tune "Midnight Special" gave me a whole new appreciation for the song.

Tom Paxton - Live in the UK
I was pleased to find out that this CD was nominated for a Grammy under Best Traditional Folk Album. Leaving aside whether this is really a traditional folk release (it's not), it is a live recording of a recent Tom Paxton concert, where Paxton, backed by Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, does an engaging mix of new tunes and classics.

Labels: New Adds, Online Folk Festival

Once again, it has been too long since I have blogged new adds, so here we go:

Mark Berube: Suspicious Fish -- Singer/songwriter specializing in humorous, occasionally novelty songs

Kate Campbell: Blues and Lamentations -- Any new release from Kate Campbell is a cause for celebration. As with most of her albums, this one is built around a general concept, described by the title. The "blues" as defined by Campbell in this collection are omnipresent ("Miles of Blues") and fundamental to the human experience ("Genesis Blues"), and music is not only a way to express them, but also to ease them. There are so many reasons for the blues: poverty ("Lord, Help the Poor and Needy"), disappointment in love ("Fade to Blue", "Shallow Grave"), war ("Peace Comes Stealing Slow"). Perhaps the emotional centerpiece in this cycle, and so typical of her penchant for story songs that explore innovation and religous faith, is "Wheels Within Wheels", the story of Texas preacher Burrell Cannon, who built a flying machine, loaded it up on a train for the St. Louis World Fair, and then abandoned it when it blew off the train saying that it was God's will. This is the best, most consitently good album I have heard this year. It is intellectually honest, musically interesting, and well produced - everything we have come to expect from Kate Campbell.

Debra Cowan: Dad's Dinner Pail -- These songs are from the Helen Hartness Flanders Collection, a book of traditional songs of New England collected by folk archivist Helen Hartness Flanders. If you dig traditional folk, you will like this - Deb Cowan has a rich voice, and with guitarist Michael DeLalla, the tunes have a sparse, acoustic arrangement that put the focus on the song. Also, if you like this you will also like the new one from Karen Mal (see below)

The Dreamsicles: Luv Songs for Grownups - Recently married singer/songwriter team Tom Prasada-Rao and Cary Cooper have put together a clever, occasionally cute collection of songs about romance for grownups. You'll laugh, you'll smile, I think you'll like it.

Bob Franke: The Other Evening in Chicago -- Great live album, full of wit and wisdom from one of the best working singer/songwriters that you may never have heard of.

The Knitters: The Modern Sound of the Knitters -- In the 80s, John Doe and Exene Cervenka of the alternative band X recruited Dave Alvin of the Blasters and a couple others to help them put out an album of roots and rockabilly cover tunes. Years passed. Now they're back. Dave Alving lends some really nice crunchy guitar, and both Doe and Cervenka really know how to sing this stuff. Highlights include a killer version of "Long Chain" and a nice version of Alvin's tune "Dry River."

Love Hall Tryst: Songs of Misfortune: John Wesley Harding's alter ego, Wesley Stace, has written a new novel, Miss Fortune, and so Wes recruited some friends to help him put together a collection of traditional tunes to go with the novel, recorded in four-part a capella. It's good stuff if you like either traditional ballads or a capella singing.

Karen Mal: Dark Eyed Sailor -- Karen Mal is known primarily as a singer/songwriter performing her own material, as well as a fine mandolinist, but here she puts together a fine collection of traditional old English and Celtic traditional tunes. Sparsely arranged, the focus is clearly on Mal's lovely voice.

Abigail Washburn: Song of the Traveling Daughter -- This album arose from Washburn's sojourn in China, where she performed traditional old-time American music, occasionally translating the songs into Chinese. Two of the songs are in Chinese on this collection.

That's all the time I have right now - I may come back later and add some more comments. Some of these deserve a more full treatment than just listing them.

Labels: New Adds

I haven't blogged new adds since April and that's too darned long. So here's at it.

Al Stewart: A Beach Full of Shells
When Al Stewart was big in 1977 I was 13. His sophisticated folk/pop didn't impress me then, and I sort of filed him away as the guy who did "Year of the Cat." Now i'm 40, and his music is a revelation. The new CD is superb, full of witty, historically-inspired songs. Highlights include "The Immelman Turn", a Fairport-esque tale of a barnstorming pilot, "Rain Barrel", a first-person narrative of an ambassador hiding during a coup, and "Royal Courtship", a tongue-in-cheek account of romance by proxy gone horribly wrong. In stores June 21 on Appleseed Records.

The Clumsy Lovers: Smart Kid
I've been on the Clumsy Lovers bandwagon for a couple years, and many people should join me after hearing this CD. It's full of the smart folk/pop/Bluegrass/traditional genre-hopping blend that they've honed over the last ten years of touring North America. It's good stuff. It's out now. And if you need to hear them, they're featured artist of the week this week.

The Bills: Let 'em Run
Probably the first album with an ode to free-range chickens. This is a great acoustic combo Cd, with tight vocal harmonies and clever, well-played arrangements. I particularly like their take on "Stardust." It's no wonder they were nominated for a Juno.

John Prine: Fair and Square
Classic John Prine. Stands up against anything he's ever done.

Bruce Springsteen: Devils and Dust
This doesn't hold up as well against his other "folk" efforts. Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad are both much better albums. The title cut is particularly good.

Jeff Black: Tin Lilly
Jeff Black has a great voice and knows how to craft a great song. In many ways, he's like Greg Trooper, writing hits for other people while his own work struggles in reltive obscurity. I hope this CD finds the audience it deserves. If you like Trooper or Marc Cohn, you'll dig Jeff Black. This CD will be out later this summer (July or August) and then Black will be Featured Artist of the Week.

Carrie Newcomer: Regulars and Refugees
Newcomer has always been a student of character, and on this concept album she presents a series of characterizations drawn from the fictional "Betty's Diner" from her recent best of compilation of the same name. Mostly it works, though sometimes it seems stretched (in particular the song from the point of view of a dog). Overll, it's ambitious and full of heart. On Philo Records with and August release date.

Tracy Grammer: Flower of Avalon
A superb tribute to the legacy of Dave Carter by his partner, featuring top-flight folk/pop production by John Jennings (Mary-Chapin Carpenter) and lots of special guests. Tracy Grammer seems to sing better with each passing album, and she has great material to work with here, including 9 previously unreleased songs by Dave Carter and a reworking of "The Loughlin Boy"

I've been blurbed: I got a copy of the new Jackie Frost CD, Calliope in the mail last week. Since I already had a copy, I was kind of surprised until I saw that my review from the FolkBlog was featured on the accompanying one-pager. So, I gave it to my girlfriend, who digs it and who played it for her dad, who also digs it. So, we have some viral marketing going on here. Just spreading the wealth.

Feverishly Ripping Like a Maniac: I have been thinking about the switch to higher bandwidth for a while, but I really did it on the spur of the moment as my pre-paid broadcasting package expired. I've been ripping to 128K mbps since some time last year, but before that I ripped everything straight to 32k. As a result, you are getting the best of what I've received and purchased recently, but I have a lot of re-ripping to do to provide you, my adoring public, with the depth and variety that you have come to expect. So, I'm feverishly ripping CDs like a maniac, a few each day, and I'll catch up soon.

Labels: New Adds

It has been way too long since I've blogged new adds to the Online Folk Festival, so I have quite a backlog, and I doubt I have enough time to give some of them the justice they deserve.

Judy Collins: Portrait of An American Girl
Judy Collins still has it. If you've liked Judy Collins in the past, you will like this CD. If you haven't, then nothing here is likely to change your mind. It's about half originals and half covers.

Bill Mallonee: Friendly Fire
This is probably Bill Mallonee's best solo album to date. Stylistically, the album falls somewhere between Byrds-ish jangle pop and alt-country, with some stylings of each. Bill Mallonee, former lead singer and songwriter for The Vigilantes of Love, gives this one a bit more of a full-band feel than the previous, more sparsely produced.

Joel Rafael Band: Woodyboye
This is the second volume of Woody Guthrie songs produced by the Joel Rafael Band, with one original ("Sierra Blanca Massacre") that stands up well with the rest of the Woody Guthrie tracks. Four of the tracks are from the unreleased archives of Woody Guthrie and are songs of Woody's for which he left no music, which Rafael was permitted to write music by Nora Guthrie. Guest artists stopping by to contribute include Van Dyke Parks, Jackson Browne and Jennifer Warnes. If you dig Woody Guthrie and old-time troubadour folk, you will dig this album.

Other New Adds:
Jennifer Warnes: Famous Blue Raincoat (been digging Leonard Cohen lately - can you believe this CD is out of print in the US?)

Various Artists: True Folk

Neko Case: The Tigers Have Spoken

Labels: New Adds

It's been awhile since I've updated new adds to the Online Folk Festival on the FolkBlog (though I've been pretty good at updating the New Adds page on the website). I should probably wait until after Celtapalooza is over, since the only artists in rotation now are Celtic artists, but come next week these artists will be back in rotation, and I have time tonight, and so it shall be. I've started with three CDs you will hear this week.

Jed Marum: Miles From Home
Jed Marum has put together a rewarding acoustic folk album, with significant Celtic influences. The standout songs on this album are"The Locket" about Marum and his mother struggling with her Alzheimer's Disease, "Look Ahead Tommy" about Irish immigrants settling n America and "Mama's Lilly," a story of an accidental death in the Civil War from shelling a West Virginia town.

Grada - Endeavour
An impressive young traditional Celtic band from Ireland, Grada has just had this CD from 2002 released in the US by Compass after the success of their 2004 CD The Landing Step. This band shows impressive musicianship on traditional tunes, as well as tunes written by the band. Singer Anne Marie O'Malley has a pleasant soprano voice and wraps her tongue around some very difficult Gaelic at breakneck speed on "Cathain," the opening track. This is also in rotation this week.

Robin Flower & Libby McLaren: Steelhead in the Riffles
A well-played collection of Celtic/contra-type dance tunes featuring Flower on mandolin, fiddle and guitar and McLaren on piano, accordion and voice.

David Francey: The Waking Hour
How did I miss this CD when it first came out? I guess I'm one of the last folk DJs on the David Francey bandwagaon, but I'm now glad to be there. Singer/songwriter David Francey, Scottish by birth, Canadian by residence, has put together an outstanding collection of acoustic tunes ably backed by Kieran Kane, Kevin Welch and Fats Kaplin (the same crew behind the recent You Can't Save Everybody album by Kane and Welch). All in all, this collection matches superior songwriting with superior playing.

There's not a klunker on this CD, but since I graduated from Perry High School in Lake County in Northeastern Ohio, the two tracks written about Northeastern Ohio have particular resonance with me. "Ashtabula" is a portrait of a fading coal port on Lake Erie, and "Fourth of July" tells about being in Madison, Ohio (the next town over from Perry) on the first anniversary of 9/11 and all the patiotic display in the shadow of the cooling towers of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

Jackie Frost: Calliope
This is a nice collection of laid-back acoustic jazzy folk in the vein of Norah Jones, although this leans more towards the folk part of folk/jazz. Frost's ensemble mixes in some bluegrass and Texas swing, so that's one distinction from Jones. Frost's voice is not as smoky nor is her style as expressive as Jones, but if you are one of the millions who've bought Norah Jones, and you liked the direction Jones took on her second CD towards the folky and acoustic, then this CD is right up your alley.

Chris Elliott: Satellite UFO Jet Plane or Star
If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know that I am a sucker for a good collection of jangle pop. This is an excellent collection of jangle pop. The track that I keep coming back to, and I'm not sure why, is a mostly instrumental piece ("Nice") with the following lyrics:

"Birth, school, work, death. Some paradise sure would be nice."

I suppose it summarizes the eternal longing to break the cycle of this world with something infinite in a three-minute jangle pop groove. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Anyway, I really like this collection, and if you dig The Byrds or The Kennedys, you might want to check out this CD.

Special Mention: The Hungry for Music Diamond Cuts DJ Collection
I was really happy that the nice people at Hungry for Music, a Washington, DC charity supporting music education in the DC area, sent me a two CD set of the highlights from their Diamond Cuts collection of CDs about baseball. I hope to use them sometime in the next couple weeks (along with all those great baseball songs by Chuck Brodsky and others) to celebrate the opening of the baseball season by having a Salute to Baseball week instead of a Featured Artist of the Week. I hope you will check out this fine organization and consider buying one of their baseball or holiday CDs. (The Holiday Feast: Creme de la Creme CD has become a staple of the Online Folk Festival holiday programming - I highly recommend it.)

Also added: Terence Martin: Sleeper.
