  • The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe
    B AR B ARA C HING Happily Ever After in the Marketplace: The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe Between 1882 and 1898, Harvard English Professor Francis J. Child published The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, a five volume col- lection of ballad lyrics that he believed to pre-date the printing press. While ballad collections had been published before, the scope and pur- ported antiquity of Child’s project captured the public imagination; within a decade, folklorists and amateur folk song collectors excitedly reported finding versions of the ballads in the Appalachians. Many enthused about the ‘purity’ of their discoveries – due to the supposed isolation of the British immigrants from the corrupting influences of modernization. When Englishman Cecil Sharp visited the mountains in search of English ballads, he described the people he encountered as “just English peasant folk [who] do not seem to me to have taken on any distinctive American traits” (cited in Whisnant 116). Even during the mid-century folk revival, Kentuckian Jean Thomas, founder of the American Folk Song Festival, wrote in the liner notes to a 1960 Folk- ways album featuring highlights from the festival that at the close of the Elizabethan era, English, Scotch, and Scotch Irish wearied of the tyranny of their kings and spurred by undaunted courage and love of inde- pendence they braved the perils of uncharted seas to seek freedom in a new world. Some tarried in the colonies but the braver, bolder, more venturesome of spirit pressed deep into the Appalachians bringing with them – hope in their hearts, song on their lips – the song their Anglo-Saxon forbears had gathered from the wander- ing minstrels of Shakespeare’s time.

  • ​Dyk Ned I Sludge-Riget Med Mægtige Eyehategod
    2019-06-05 10:00 CEST Dyk ned i sludge-riget med mægtige Eyehategod VEGA præsenterer Dyk ned i sludge-riget med mægtige Eyehategod Den 6. oktober kan du opleve legenderne fra New Orleans, når de skruer helt op for deres unikke mix af punk og metal i VEGA. Eyehategod startede tilbage i 1988 deres tunge eksperimenter med bluesede og distortede guitarer. Siden har det genredefinerende band fået spillesteder verden over til at ryste med deres dystre mix af punk og metal, som deres karismatiske frontmand kalder heavy blues. Fra 2000 og 2014 var bandet hårdt ramt af orkanødelæggelser, afhængighed, depressioner og til slut trommeslager Joey LaCazes tidlige død i 2013. Men året efter rejste bandet sig med et potent selvbetitlet album, der høstede store roser hos anmeldere verden over. Trommeslageren fra Mountain of Wizard og Missing Monuments, Aaron Hill, overtog efter LaCaze, og han har på fornemmeste vis løftet arven videre med indlevende, energisk trommespil, der indkapsler bandets karakteristiske lyd. Med skarpskårede guitarriffs fra Jimmy Bower og Brian Patton, tordnende trommer og Mike Williams dæmoniske vokal skaber bandet et kakofonisk lydunivers. Det er Black Sabbath mikset med Black Flag og en portion old school blues oveni hatten. Da bandet sidste år fyrede godt og grundigt op under Pumpehuset, skrev anmelderen fra Devilution begejstret om legendernes energiske optræden: ”Eyehategod leverede en af den type koncerter, hvor man som publikum ikke i ét splitsekund tænker, at man har med en rutinepræget præstation at gøre. Det gør man ikke, fordi det er leveret med indlevelse, og fordi de med Mike IX Williams snart 30 år inde i karrieren – og med sin anden lever! – stadig er et i den grad dopesick individ fyldt med mismod, afsky og muligvis nu også en snert af taknemmelighed.” Fakta om koncerten: Eyehategod (US) Søndag d.

  • Jim-Rooney-Daa-Induction-By-Menius
    Jim Rooney DAA Presentation by Art Menius IBMA World of Bluegrass Awards Luncheon September 29, 2016 Jim Rooney did me a big favor, writing. In It for the Long Run: A Musical Memoir, so that I could do this presentation. That’s being a friend. Jim is a man who has done it all while enjoying being in it for the long run in many relationships. Think of Bill Keith, Eric von Schmidt, or his eventual spouse Carol Langstaff. At Owensboro I remember Jim, tall and commanding, as his left hand powered the rhythm on a kick ass rendition of Six White Horses.” Not that he limited himself to Monroe covers. His interpretation of the Stones’ “No Expectations” became a go to song. His love for bluegrass began back in Massachusetts in the 1950s when he heard on a band called the Confederate Mountaineers at radio station WCOP. Inspired by the Lillys, Tex, and Stovepipe, it wasn’t too long before Jim was on WCOP himself and hooked on performing. At Amherst he met Bill Keith who would be a friend and musical partner for much of the next 60 years. In 1962, they recorded “Devils Dream” and “Sailor’s Hornpipe,” the first documentation of Bill’s chromatic style shortly before he joined the Blue Grass Boys. The tracks appeared on their Living on the Mountain LP. Their many collaborations would include the revolutionary Blue Velvet Band whose music spread worldwide person to person Mud Acres, and concerts and tours with many different aggregations and combinations. Jim enjoyed sharing a heritage award from the Boston Bluegrass Union and brought us to tears at Bill’s induction into the Hall of Fame.

During the 1960s, British hard rock bands and the American guitarist Jimi Hendrix developed a more distorted guitar sound and heavier drums and bass that led to a separation of heavy metal from other blues-based rock. Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

    Review: Roadburn Friday 10th April 2015 By Alex Mysteerie I woke up with a big grin on my face at the thought of Friday’s schedule: the bands on offer for the Houses Of The Holistic, curated by Ivar Bjørnson of Enslaved and Einer “Kvitrafn” Selvik of Wardruna, were fantastic!

  • Crowbar Symmetry in Black ENG
    “Symmetry In Black” CD • LP • Digital Download European Release Date: Ma y 26 th , 2014 Hope ya’ love it slow, hard and heavy, because the rebirth of CROWBAR is upon us. Make no mistake: the massively influential merchants of sludge never went away. But as the band’s 25 th year of existence dawns and their tenth full length album is unleashed upon the world, cofounder, frontman and riff- making warhorse Kirk Windstein is determined to give the band he unapologetically calls his “baby” the total dedication it demands. The unrestrained push and relentless concentration surrounding Symmetry in Black is music to the ears - figuratively and literally – for new adherents and the legion of underground fans and fellow musicians who swore allegiance to Crowbar long ago. Symmetry in Black is the perfect album to arrive in the number ten slot of the Crowbar catalog, a penultimate achievement embodying the early sloth of doom touchstone Obedience Thru Suffering (1991), the moody dissonance of modern classic Odd Fellows Rest (1998) and the crisp thunder of the album’s predecessor, Sever the Wicked Hand (2011), with nuggets of Crowbar’s storied history sprinkled throughout. The crushing signature sound of Crowbar is at its peak on Symmetry in Black , the band’s most diverse yet cohesive release. It was coproduced with fellow New Orleans resident Duane Simoneaux, who worked on Sever the Wicked Hand and mixed by Josh Wilbur, whose diverse credits include work with Lamb Of God, Gojira and Killer Be Killed. “We needed to move our sound forward but at the same time, make sure everything stayed 100% true to who and what we are,” Windstein explains.
