Nashville-based Caitlin Rose is on the show this week to bring us up to speed on her life, her current direction, and the creative forces behind CAZIMI, her long-anticipated new album -- her first in almost 10 years. It's been a long wait for her fans, and an even longer period for Caitlin herself, who describes the uncharacteristic decade gap as a "Sisyphean struggle" -- and that it was. But despite the trials and tribulations from a creative standpoint, Caitlin proves to be incredibly self-aware and perhaps more importantly, acutely imbued with a sense of self-acceptance -- of who she is and what she wants to accomplish.  CAZIMI does not disappoint; it's a stellar work with a top-notch list of supporting players and Caitlin's vocals are simply stunning.  Caitlin comes from a family of creatives and musical talent and she operates from a standpoint of doing what's right for her own self, unequivocally accepting only what's best from her unique perspective.  So climb aboard the Roadcase bus for this amazing interview with one of Nashville's finest, Caitlin Rose!

Sam Parton (The Be Good Tanyas)  "The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs"   Episode SummaryIn this episode Kate speaks with Sam Parton, founding member of the wildly popular Canadian Alt Folk band The Be Good Tanyas. Their debut album Blue Horse was named 2002's top 50 releases by Q Magazine (UK) and the band would go on to release more albums cherished by fans all over the world. Their albums Chinatown and Hello Love were met with glowing reviews including four stars from Rolling Stone Magazine and the band sold out concert halls across North America and Europe. Sam tells us about how trauma from her early childhood ultimately set her on a journey that would see her not only find her musical voice and people, but create what I think is one of the greatest Canadian bands of all time The Be Good Tanyas. She tells us what she thinks creativity is and what it wants from us, how she found her bandmates, the joy and challenges of collaboration, and how lyrics come to her -  including the story of how one of my very favourite songs of all time by any band was written, The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs (hear an excerpt of this song in the episode) Things Sam and I talk about-Her ideas on how creativity and creative intelligence are often part of a lineage and the yearning that can create within us -How being a twin made her into a great collaborator-Finding her long lost father and how that separation fed her desire to become a musician-Growing up in the shadow of a sibling born with extraordinary musical talent, and in a home with tormented, abusive adults feeling that she had to do her music in secret and how the grief from those things ultimately drove her to find and express her own creative gifts-The magic that can happen when we know how to approach creativity from a place of truly not knowing, beginner's mind. -What is inspiration and why do we feel like we have to wait for it? What if it is waiting for us? -How she met Frazey Ford, co-founding member of the be Good Tanyas-The joys and challenges of creative collaboration-How the words and melody for The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs came to her and what the song means to herBuy her music on Bandcamp!Episode NotesIn this episode Kate speaks with Sam Parton, founding member of the wildly popular, Canadian Alt Folk band The Be Good Tanyas. Their debut album Blue Horse was named 2002's top 50 releases by Q Magazine (UK) and the band would go on to release more albums cherished by fans all over the world. Their albums Chinatown and Hello Love were met with glowing reviews including four stars from Rolling Stone and the band sold out concert halls across North America and Europe. Sam tells us about how trauma from her early childhood ultimately set her on a journey that would see her not only find her musical voice and people, but create what I think is one of the greatest Canadian bands of all time The Be Good Tanyas. She tells us what she thinks creativity is and what it wants from us, how she found her bandmates, the joy and challenges of collaboration, and how lyrics come to her -  including the story of how one of my very favourite songs of all time by any band was written, The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs (hear an excerpt of this song in the episode) So many of us KNOW from a young age what we love to do, but so often it is overshadowed by our life circumstances, whether it's childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, unsupportive parents or simply not having anyone in our lives to see us and cheer us on, or as in Sam's case being so different from the people in her childhood home, that she grew up feeling like an alien in her own home. Sam's drive to find her father, to fill in the gaping hole his departure from her life left, would eventually take her on a winding adventure that would give rise to a deeply fulfilling musical career and the ability to fulfill the calling of her musical gifts. And thank goodness for all this because the music and lyrics that Sam has been able to allow to come through her have woven themselves into the tapestry of my own (and I am sure millions of others) lives. She had a strong drive to follow the lineage of creativity, to find out how the people who created music that spoke so strongly to her like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, were able to create those things.Sam was a founding member of the band The Be Good Tanyas whose debut album Blue Horse quickly earned them cult status as a beloved Alt Folk Band, it was named among 2002's top 50 releases by Q Magazine (UK) and the band would go on to release more albums cherished by fans all over the world. Their albums Chinatown and Hello Love were met with glowing more reviews including four stars from Rolling Stone. The band toured sold out concert halls across North America and Europe. Their music was featured in tv shows like Breaking Bad and The L word. My excitement was because here I was sitting down in real life, with the person who had brought music and lyrics into the world that had been on the soundtrack to many of the important moments of my life for the better part of 20 years from weddings and births of my children to lazy sunday brunches and sunny sunday afternoons cleaning the house, in some way Sam had been with me through it all and here she was sitting down with me to tell me the stories of how it all came to be. One of my favourite moments in the episode is when Sam tells the story of how the lyrics and melody for  The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs came to her. This is one of my very favourite songs of all time (not just from the Be Good Tanyas repertoire) we got permission to share some of the song with you which you'll hear when we get to that part of the conversation. If this podcast is meaningful for you, if you get inspiration or encouragement or simply raises your spirits to listen to it, please sign up to make a small $5 or $10 contribution each month.

Like any adoring fan I may have gushed a bit and bravely asked her to join me in conversation on the show, hers was an immediate generous, warm and full-hearted YES. It took us a few months to line our schedules up and I am so pleased to be able to share this conversation and her music with you today. Here is my conversation with Sam Parton. In the weeks after this interview was recorded, Sam and I went on a walk through the sun dappled forest near my home. We talked more about life, creativity, and how much music industry has changed, with streaming services making it more difficult than ever before for musicians to make a living with their music. I wanted share some ways you can support Sam and her music. You can find those in the show notes on KateShepherdCreative.com To me Sam's story is a beautiful love story, the love of a little girl for her natural born gift, the love of a daughter for her long lost father, and the love of an artist for creativity itself. Sam gave me so many things to think about, I really appreciated what she said about putting down the projections of how we see others as being so much more prolific or professional than which can help us to be brave enough to take the risk of looking like we don't know what we are doing -  because from that place of lighthearted silliness magic usually happens. And as usual the word I pulled for today's show was perfectly perfect. It was inspiration. I got the truthbumps when she started talking about inspiration. Friends, I think she might be right. What if it IS the other way around? What if inspiration is waiting for us? What would be available to you if you were to approach your creative practice as though inspiration was already right there waiting for you, and to allow yourself to approach creating from a place of truly not knowing anything and waiting to be shown?Special Thanks to Sam Parton and Birthday Cake Media for permission to use The Littlest Birds Sing The Prettiest Songs in this episodeKate Shepherd: art | website | instagramMorning Moon Nature Jewelry | website |  instagramCreative Genius Podcast | website | instagramSam Parton: website | instagram | bandcampResources discussed in this episode:Bob DylanNeil YoungDolly PartonJudy GarlandPlease share the show with a friend and if you are moved to make a financial contribution to the production of this podcast, THANK YOU here is the link for our Patreon

Lunatraktors are Carli Jefferson and Clair Le Couteur. Influenced by flamenco, post-punk and trip hop, their 'broken folk' sound strips trad folk back to rhythm and voice. Combining Carli's percussive and choreographic talents with trans folk singer Clair's four octave vocal range and original compositions, they conjure up folk cabaret sounds and visions. The duo are friendly, energetic, talented, articulate and funny. We hear their perspective on traditional folk music, working with museums, performance art and the rigs of the times. There's never a dull moment. Shortly before this podcast was launched a 2021 review of the year in Mojo magazine rated Lunatraktors' The Missing Star at No2 in their Folk album category. That was one place below the legend that is Peggy Seeger, and one place above the force of nature that is Rhiannon Giddens. What fabulous company to be in! Lunatraktors music is available from: https://lunatraktors.bandcamp.com/ Website https://www.lunatraktors.space/  Songs featured in this podcast: 1 Lunatraktors – 16,000 Miles 2 Lunatraktors – The Catalpa (live in Preservation Room, Kent) 3 Lunatraktors – My Witch 4 Lunatraktors – Rigs Of The Times 5 Lunatraktors – Unquiet Grave

Afro-LatinX - Alt-FolK, Blues and R&B Artist, Songstress, Wordsmith, Producer, Activist, and Humanitarian Yurby calls in to The Junk and Jam Hour via Zoom to talk all about her love and joy for producing and crafting music, which began at the tender age of 10 – after her father persuaded and convinced her to turn one of her poems into a song. From the South Bronx, Yurby has created her own style of music – which effortlessly fuses blues, Alternative Rock, and R&B, producing a sound so melodically and lyrically eclectic, she has since been dubbed the Dominican Alanis Morrisette. We also play Yurby's powerful anthem and latest single 'Hands Up' - an unflinching recount of the angst, pain and fear of being regularly terrorized in an America that has normalized the hatred of blackness. We also talk about her marvelous charitable work for children - including with Usher's New Look - and her very own foundation entitled Bronx Noise, where she has helped to preserve a safe space for women and the LGBTQ community to discover and develop their own musical gifts, as well as her fundraising event for Parkinsons Awareness.

Beans On Toast - aka Jay McAllister - was at the heart of the London indie scene in the 2000s. A prolific alt-folk songwriter, his social commentaries - often in collaboration with some of the era's biggest stars - were turned around in double-quick time. But when he wasn't on stage himself he was running some of the biggest indie club nights in the capital, such as Frog. Here, he tells The Boys in the Band Podcast how he helped turn the iconic Nambucca pub from a quiet, empty boozer into the epicentre of the London indie scene, with help from his friends Frank Turner, The Holloways, Florence and The Machine and many more. He also reflects on his ELEVEN studio albums, teases number twelve, and explains how his quick songwriting and straight-talking style has enabled him to release singles during lockdown about the coronavirus pandemic.  Beans On Toast fan?

This week on Faces & Places, Breifne Earley visited some of the venues taking part in Culture Night last Friday evening across the county. We start in The Dock where local illustrator, animator and film maker Melissa (Doran) Culhane shares about her new short animated film 'A Quack To Far' which was screened as part of the Culture Night programme. We also speak to Conor Lambert ahead of his performance of 'Arignaramus', a one man play by Wayne Denniston. The performer tells us about how growing up as part of the Lambert dynasty set him up for a life in the performing arts. Cllr Enda Stenson speaks about the importance of music in the everyday Leitrim home and how you don't have to take yourself too seriously to get enjoyment out of playing music. Sarah Searson talks to us about The Dock's new collaboration with five other arts centres as part of the Creative Counties project which she will be heading up over the next six months. Next Breifne visits the Olive Tree cafe to hear music from an Alt Folk band by the name of "The Shrine of St. Lochtin's Arm", we find out where the name hails from as well as the history of the band. Finally we head to Drumsna where the local Comhaltas committee hosted a night of traditional music and dance with their members, invited special guests and friends of the organisation from around the area.

Z. chats with Michigan electric folk trio, The Accidentals. The two leading ladies of The Accidentals met as violin and cello playing high schoolers in Traverse City Michigan where it was love at first jam, and soon after they had the courage to say no to a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music, and have been making records and touring non stop ever since - all before they could even buy themselves a beer. The Accidentals's empowered cocktail of classically infused funky Americana got even more potent when they officially became a trio in 2014 when drummer Michael Dause joined in, and they quickly became precocious Michigan musical celebrities, opening for Brandi Carlisle, Andrew bird, and Rodriguez among others. This momentum got them national attention from a Billboard magazine adored appearance at South by Southwest, and eventually got them signed to a major label before they could be allowed to rent a car.

Alt-Folk singer-songwriter Keiandra is currently making waves with her music across the North East. The fledgling songstress only emerged on the local music scene at the end of last year, but is already in demand as a regular performer in Tyneside and in London. Keiandra is known for her clever use of lyrics in her self penned songs, which leave the listener filled with intrigue whilst her haunting and ethereal voice accompanied by acoustic guitar leave them wanting more.

A short story from writer and poet, River Wharton. A song from alt-folk band King Cardinal.

Steps of Doe is the rootsy, LA-based Americana duo of Keena Batti and Molly Falck, who lead a full band replete with lush harmonies and electrified banjo, dulcimer and mandolin. Their music has a sense of humor while it echoes iconic 70’s-style artists like Led Zepplin and Fleetwood Mac, as well as current artists Sufjan Stevens and Elliot Smith. Their debut album,“On Returning” is due out March 24, 2014 on iTunes and the CD will be released at the Hotel Cafe on March 8.. Alternative Country duo Crimson Calamity,  Lauren Harding and past Music FridayLive! guest Mallory Trunnell are no strangers to intricate songwriting and the bright lights of the stage on their own, but together, they deliver firecracker lyrics and glistening harmonies.Crimson Calamity was born from an initial songwriting experiment that turned out the hard hitting single, “Line ‘em Up and Shoot ‘em Down.” which became the catalyst that inspired them to take their collaborative style to the next level.  Their debut EP, “All in the Cards” is built on  country-rock with a little blues for color.

Chris T-T ('One of the great underground artists of our time' Jon Snow; 'Genius, a modern-day William Blake' Sunday Times) and Gill Sandell ('This is gorgeous!' Bob Harris; 'A beautiful sounding record' Cerys Matthews) launch their first album as a duo, 'Walk Away, Walk Away'. The album is an atmospheric collection of noir songs from across pop, rock and folk traditions and generations, themed around travel and absence; separation and journey; ancient pathways and empty freeways, covering artists from Willie Nelson and Joni Mitchell to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Voice Of The Beehive. 20 February, 8pm | Kings PlaceTickets £12.50www.kingsplace.co.uk/walkaway

In this episode, we are joined by South of Lincoln AKA Max Holmquist. We talk about his experience as a singer/songwriter hailing from a small town in Nebraska, and get a couple of great in studio performances. The cicadas even chime in... South of Lincoln is the stage name for Maxwell Beardsley H. and his one man folk show. The calm, boring life of a small Midwestern town drove him to pick up a guitar at the age of 15. Four years later, South of Lincoln started in 2006 as Max Holmquist’s solo project. Starting with a post-punk/emo sound in the vein as Dashboard Confessionals, etc. somewhere along the line his style shifted with his musical tastes. With the introduction of Alt/Folk from people like Damien Jurado, Neko Case, M. Ward, Andrew Bird, Rocky Votolato, etc., South of Lincoln made the shift towards Folksy storytelling.

Today I am angry at Capitalism.  Partly, funnily enough, I am angry at Capitalism because in many ways I myself am a Capitalist.  The problem I have with Capitalism is not really the theory, but the practise.  So many people and companies who chant the free market mantra simply are not free marketeers.  They want isolationism and protectionism as much as the most paranoid Marxist when it will protect their interests, but they won't for a second entertain the economic theory behind that sort of behaviour - gosh no! So there is plenty of paranoid ranting in this week's podcast, railing against people who talk all Capitalist whilst not actually being Capitalist, people who are moral and honorable in their personal lives but who turn into voracious whores as soon as they put on a suit and, erm, well generally there's lots of pish to be talked, sorry. Still, at least it's marginally better than last week. Podcast #66 - The Greedcast 01. Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (03.27) 02. Billy Bragg - NPWA (16.27) 03.

Live recordings - in fact, specifically, live albums - came up in a recent post on Song, by Toad and the idea of doing a podcast composed entirely of live recordings really appealed to me because there are so many great ones.  That said, on the post in question there arose a debate, one voice expressing my deepest hatreds of the genre, and another being perhaps over-generous in the other direction.  Frankly, I despise the vast majority of live albums.  Mostly they are shit recordings of songs we already know, released for the sole reason of fleecing fans whose devotion has already been established, and whose wallets can clearly be plundered for a few more empty sheckles.  Despite that, of course, there are some truly stunning live recordings.  In fact, I'd argue that some of the most memorable, legendary recordings of all  time are in fact live ones.  Bob Dylan live at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in 1966.  Bruce Springsteen pretty much any time in the seventies.  Basically, for all live recordings are mostly rip-off bollocks, there are some truly phenomenal live albums, ones which open your eyes to the artist, ones which fill in that artist's musical upbringing, and some which are just genuinely amazingly wonderful recordings in their own right.  Therefore we bring to you the Livecast.  Enjoy, Toadlings...

After a week spent debating it, how about a podcast embodying the discussions we've been having about production values I thought a podcast which sort of pulls all the disagreements and moans and whingeing and so on into one big mp3 of joy would be a good idea. So we've got some Big Production, some demo scratchy stuff and a few bands who have dabbled with both.  I fart on about production values as if I have the faintest idea what I'm talking about, which of course I don't. I'm not sure how well it works as a playlist - it might be a bit disjointed - but in general I like it.  I like the debate in general, I like the thought process we've all gone through together this week, and in general, by association, I like this podcast.

The Spacecast is yet another podcast dreamed up in the pub, this time between myself and Dylan, the official Song, by Toad photographer.  And again it's one of those podcast which could have gone on for over two hours quite easily, but we don't do that anymore, not around here, we're disciplined these days goddammit. So I've missed off about a million other suggestions and come up with a combination of songs genuinely about space, and few that use space as some sort of metaphor and then a few which just stick a few spacey words in the title.  And of course, it starts with something rather splendid... but you'll have to listen to find out what it is.  Alright, it's not that special.  Just mildly amusing.

Oh thank fuck it's Christmas.  Or, any holiday really.  I am so fucking incredibly tired I could pitch face first on the tarmac and sleep for six months without so much as coming up for air. I have been reading, with some amusement, the bickering over the religious nature of Christmas which seems to take place in the American press with monotonous regularity.  Apparently the Christians are adamant that we remember the religious nature of a pagan festival, which seems a little odd considering that the Christianisation of Christmas itself was basically the Christian colonists' acceptance that they could never defeat local pagan religions.  So basically they adopted Yuletide and tried to wedge their amusing Biblical myths into a story that their conquered people would never give up, and then waited a few years for it to degrade into some sort of carnival of aquisitiveness which they could have a tantrum about. So it's a pagan festival which has turned into an unbridled celebration of Western consumerist greed... erm, which part of this came up in the Bible again?  Personally, as an atheist, I love Christmas.  It's got nothing to do with that Jeebus character, it's closer akin to the the pagan celebration of light and life in the middle of the darkest part of the year.  As a family we have always come together and spent peaceful time together at this time of year.  We play music, we read books, we cook together, but above all we rest.  We get together and enjoy one another's company.  Mrs. Toad and I will, this year, be doing nothing more than snuggling up on the couch and wasting time.  And that time wasting together is oddly one of the most important things you can do to forge a strong relationship.  Just taking time to be together and enjoy one another's company is, after the year we've had, going to be a rare treat, and one which I intend to enjoy immensely.

Okay, not so much a podcast this week, more my effort to recreate a mix tape sent to me by my Mum's cousin when I was far too young to appreciate its brilliance.  On the plus side though, despite my failure to really understand how lucky I was, they leaked more indelibly into my consciousness because I was so young that it all went beyond 'music I remember' and became something more fundamental than that. I played this tape quite literally to death.  I think it finally gave up the ghost some time when I was about thirteen or fourteen - about 1988 or 1989.  I forgot about it for some time after that, and it was only some ten years later, about the time of Napster, that it occurred to me to finally try and reassemble all these brilliant songs together again. Well, I tried but I failed.  The biggest problem was remembering what was on the thing.  I mean, a tape I last listened to ten years ago, whatare the chances?  Still, aided by perseverance and some good fortune I prety much managed to as best I could.  Some I remembered immediately, others took a while, and still others took the discovery of songs on the tape itself to trigger the memory.  Easily the best playlist of any Toadcast to date, I'm only ashamed that it's me talking about this music instead of someone more knowledgeable.

This is a real quickie this week as I am working my hairy little buttocks off on the Broken Records stuff at the moment. Still, in your insatiable thirst for pointless, self-indulgent rambling I was sure you'd want to listen to something splendid in the meantime.There's no underlying theme to anything this week, just me rattling on about some current and very interesting music, as well as a couple of confessions so shocking you may never come back here again. Looking at the playlist, I'm sure you can guess what they are.So good luck with this, and I am already looking forward to the next one. Toadcast #25 - The Quickcast 01.

A week or so ago, I recorded a demo show for Fresh Air FM, the local student radio station, with a view to applying for a slot during next term, only the computer ate the bastard thing. Fucking technology. Anyhow, Sunday was Mrs. Toad’s birthday, and for some reason she was keen to get plastered and do a podcast with me, so we re-did it together. It wasn’t played quite as straight as I’d hoped, and by the time I’d had time to reflect on submitting it I was pretty certain Fresh Air would chase me out of the building with sticks. Fortunately for me, however, they didn’t hate it, didn’t seem to think I was a smart-arsed twat and didn’t dispatch me from the building with a boot print in my arse. As this show is just a pre-record and will be going out randomly over the night when they stop broadcasting, I thought I’d pop it up here for you to have a listen. I won’t be doing this with any more Fresh Air things because, well, you need to go over there and listen for yourselves really, don’t you. But for this once I thought you might like it seeing as you shower of treacherous fuckers all seem to love Mrs. Toad so very bloody much. Be warned though, because it was made for a different audience, so there may be a bit of duplication from previous podcasts, and it’s rather long, as apparently there is a lot of time to fill overnight when there are no presenters in the building. The Fresh Air plugs themselves were enough to see us kicked out. Toadcast #23½ - The Freshcast 01. Shout Out Louds - Tonight I Have to Leave It (03.09) 02. The Shaky Hands - Whales Sing (06.41) 03.

In preparation for applying for a slot on Edinburgh's student radio station Fresh Air, I thought I would challenge myself to get through an entire podcast without actually swearing because, on public access radio, you can't use naughty words.  A Toad without swearing, you say, what the fuck has the world come to? Well to make sure I don't disappoint you in your noble quest for dissolute anti-culture I thought I'd compensate by playing a collection of the filthiest and most sweary songs I could lay my hands on.  Thinking about it, I've managed to forget Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's truly foul 'Je T'aime, Moi Non Plus', but there you go.  I could have improved just about every playlist I've ever done in retrospect, I think, so at some point I have to draw the line. So, I use bad words when I quote other people and when I give you the names of the songs but I don't think I let a single naughty word slip during my own chat on this one, but let me know if you catch me out.  Toadcast #23 - The Filthcast 01.
