  • Terroir Blues
    Jay Farrar Terroir Blues More than any other musician of his generation, Jay Farrar has demonstrated an inimitable skill in writing songs that explore the back roads and byways of American music — and then pushing those traditions in bold new directions. The twenty-three tracks on Terroir Blues — Farrar’s latest record on the new Act/Resist label — cut sharply through layers of this country’s roots music and articulate his vision of an American landscape that is bleak yet beautiful. Farrar put down his roots in the influential alternative-country bands Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt — and the blend of rock, country and folk that he fashioned in those bands continues to influence artists across numerous genres to this day. On first listen, Terroir Blues’ acoustic-based sound harkens back to quieter moments that Farrar created with songs such as “Still be Around” (from Uncle Tupelo’s 1991 record Still Feel Gone) or “Windfall” (from Son Volt’s 1994 debut Trace). Yet Terroir Blues also revisits, expands and integrates the new sounds that Farrar explored on his first two solo releases — 2002's Sebastopol and ThirdShiftGrottoSlack — into the mix. The album’s title provides a clue to its ambitions. “Terroir” is a French word that can be translated literally as “soil” — but the broader connotations frustrate simple translation. Often, “terroir” is associated with wine making, where it has come to represent a blend of soil type, landscape, air and sun that cannot be found solely in nature or created solely by man. By definition, “terroir” represents a delicate balance of nature’s bounty and human labor shaped over time.

Ash had earlier withdrawn his document from consideration after becoming discouraged by poor attendance at special meet­ ings held to revise SGA's governing document.

  • Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98
    Antimodernism and Genre from Country-Rock to Alt.Country, 1968-98 Jason Bianchi Kirby San Jose, California B.A. Sociology and Literature, University of California—Santa Cruz, 2002 M.A. American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University, 2006 A dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia August 2016 Abstract This dissertation is a cultural history exploring expressions of and responses to antimodernism within country-rock and “alternative country” music, drawing on reception history, intellectual history of underground and mainstream left-wing American political movements, interview discourse with artists, and close readings of songs. In this dissertation I argue that despite styling itself as a type of purer root or “folk” form of contemporary country music, in terms of its ideologies, studio production techniques, fan and critical discourse, and business practices, alt.country is a type of rock music. It embodies some of rock’s core beliefs, particularly rock’s critique of the more bureaucratic and “rationalized” dimensions of postindustrial capitalism, particularly as this relates to the everyday impact of new technologies. I argue that this anti-modernism, emerging here from the American political left, has been different in different eras, from the back-to-the-land movement of the late 1960s, to late- ‘80s/early-‘90s expressions of left populist punk’s longing for “folk” community. In this project I look beyond contemporary scholarly understandings of alt.country as mostly ironic, as ultimately I suggest that this music illustrates what Keir Keightley calls rock’s aesthetic of “seriousness,” more precisely than it does an understanding of country music ideology.

  • 10. Kaufman, Review, Radio Songs
    Woody Guthrie Annual, 1 (2015): Kaufman, Review, Radio Songs CD/DVD Review: Darryl Holter, Radio Songs: Woody Guthrie in Los Angeles, 1937-1939 ! !Will Kaufman ! In spite of all that we have learned since the opening of the Woody Guthrie Archives in 1996, there is one thing that we shall perhaps never know: the extent of the possibilities for musically imagining and re- imagining Guthrie’s songs. This is, of course, a good thing. Those who have been fortunate enough to go through the Archives will know that there is hardly a scrap of musical notation to be found there. Guthrie wrote lyrics — close to three thousand of them — and only a relative handful have been musically transcribed. Even fewer have been recorded. Often we don’t know what musical setting was in Guthrie’s head when he wrote his lyrics; sometimes we can make a pretty good guess from their form (Hey, do you reckon that “Big City Ways” is based on “Brown’s Ferry Blues”?). Sometimes, Woody was good enough to tell us (e.g. “To be sung to the tune of ‘Streets of Laredo’”). The open-ended musical possibilities have proved to be one of the most dynamic aspects of Nora Guthrie’s project to give new life to her father’s songs by inviting contemporary songwriters into the Archives to come up with new and imaginative musical settings. Billy Bragg and Wilco, Jay Farrar, Rob Wasserman, the Klezmatics, Jonatha Brooke, the Dropkick Murphys, and Del McCroury are just a few of those who have been part of this ever-growing project.
