In the last few years, he has begun experimenting with flatpicking leads. “Sometimes I crash and burn, sometimes I make it.” But he never passes up the chance to take a break. “I’m getting better, but nobody’s threatened by me yet. I’ve got a long way to go.” The path to La Sierra While pizza parlors are common locations for bluegrass jams, you don’t hear about many in Mexican restaurants. Here’s how Jon combined bluegrass and burritos. When he first arrived in Oregon, Jon traveled far for a good jam. His first venture was to the Dallas jam.

  • 1 a Conversation with Abigail Washburn by Frank

    1 a Conversation with Abigail Washburn by Frank

    A Conversation with Abigail Washburn by Frank Goodman (9/2005, Puremusic.com) It’s curious in the arts, especially music, that success or notoriety can sometimes come more easily to those who started late, or never even planned to be an artist in the first place. But perhaps, by the time that music seriously enters their life, people they’ve met or other things that they’ve done or been interact with that late-breaking musical urge and catalytically convert it into something that works, takes shape or even wings. And so many who may have played the same instrument or sung or composed the same style of music all their lives may never have been rewarded, or at least noticed, for a life’s work. Timing, including the totality of what one brings to the table at that particular time, seems to be what matters. Or destiny, perhaps, if one believes in such a thing. By the time that musical destiny came knocking at Abigail Washburn’s door, her young life was already paved with diverse experiences. She’d gone abroad to China in her freshman year at college, and it changed her fundamentally. She became so interested in that culture and that tradition that it blossomed into a similar interest in her own culture when she returned, and she went deeply into the music of Doc Watson and other mountain music figures, into old time and clawhammer banjo music in particular. She’d sung extensively in choral groups already, so that came naturally. She was working as a lobbyist and living in Vermont, and had close friends who were a string band.

"Woody war ein Punk, ein Non-Konformist, der mich als Jugendlicher, da er sich selbst als Außenseiter fühlte, sehr angesprochen hat. Ich fühlte mich sehr verbunden mit Woody Guthrie. Er sprach für mich". Damit gibt er die Richtung vor, in der sich der Sohn einer jüdischen Mutter und eines christlichen Vaters musikalisch bewegt, auch wenn sich sein Stil nur schwer kategorisieren lässt. Seine Lieder pendeln zwischen traditionellem Folk, Country und Blues, ohne sich dem Pop völlig zu verschließen. Gesanglich vergleicht man ihn wegen seiner rauen Stimme gerne mit Tom Waits und John Prine. "Als ich klein war, ließen meine Eltern den Arzt kommen, um nachzusehen, ob sich auf meinen Stimmbändern Polypen befänden. Er hat nichts gefunden. Ich werde nie eine klare, reine Stimme haben." Mit dem Umzug von New York nach Boston, Massachusetts im Jahr 1995 beginnt Moocks Karriere. Auf unzähligen Open Mic-Bühnen perfektioniert er sein Fingerpicking und erarbeitet sich in der lokalen Musikszene als Songwriter und Sänger ein respektables Ansehen. 1997 erscheint sein Debüt "Walking Sounds", dem sich 1999 "Bad Moock Rising" und 2001 "A Life I Never Had" anschließen. Bereits 2002 kann er auf Auftritte bei renommierten Festivals wie dem Newport und Boston Folk Festival, The Old Town Of Music in Chicago oder The Birchmere in Washington, D.C.

    Time's the Revelator

    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.
