This week, More Voices. Another collection of contemporary folk singers with unique and authentic voices recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Ballad singing is a primary form of expression in folk music. Folk ballads merge melody and story to recount events but also transport the listener to an emotional space. How well a ballad can bring the listener into that space very much depends on the singer. Less important to an effective folk singer are the rudimentary aspects of singing than is the authentic sound of their voice. The timbre and character of the singer's voice in service to the ballad becomes the vehicle, transporting the listener into that emotional space. Ozark original and legendary folk balladeer Aunt Ollie Gilbert for an example. As much as the stories Aunt Ollie relates, it's the sound of her instantly recognizable and authentic voice that moves listeners deep into the hills and hollers of the Ozarks. Featured on this episode are an all-star lineup of contemporary singers including: renowned vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Amythyst Kiah; Ozark original up and coming folk sensation Willie Carlisle; outlaw country music legends Malcolm Holcomb & Ozark original Billy Don Burns; singer-songwriter and educator Wil Maring; Paul Brock Band singer and multi-instrumentalist Dave Curley; famed folk duo The Secret Sisters; world champion mountain dulcimer player, vocalist and educator Sarah Kate Morgan; vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and musical time traveler Meredith Axelrod; folk blues superstar Taj Mahal; Jake Leg Stompers vocalist Lela Mae Smith; Kentucky Colonel and bluegrass sensation Dave Adkins. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1984 archival recording of Ozark original Pam Setser with Mike Gavin performing the Flatt & Scruggs song “Rough & Rocky” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles the legendary Ozark original balladeer Oscar Gilbert, husband of famed ballad singer Aunt Ollie Gilbert. Featured is an archival recording of Oscar performing the traditional Ozark ballad “The Ballad of Cole Younger,” courtesy of the Lyon College Wolf Folklore Collection.

We're hearing a lot about diversity and inclusion these days (which is great!) but as we'll learn in this episode, those two words and what they stand for are at the very core of what guided the earliest days of Newport Folk and Jazz over sixty years ago, continuing to this day. And as we know, there is still much work to be done to make our world a just and equal place. Listen in as the women of Our Native Daughters share the experience of their powerful performance at Newport in 2019, their mission of amplifying the perspectives of Black American women from the time of slavery through the present, and discuss the ongoing need for better representation across genres - in particular Americana and Country - that have their roots in the black community, and at events like Newport Folk. Amplifying women's voices, and women of color, is an important part of this conversation, too, and Yola speaks on the importance of The Highwomen's debut at Newport Folk and Brandi Carlile's all female headlining set, as well as her own sense of purpose in occupying and owning space in what is currently an overwhelmingly white genre. We dive into the history of Newport and why the insistence racial equality and diversity of its lineups was an especially personal mission of George Wein's - one that he carried to New Orleans when creating Jazz Fest alongside the parents of Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe. and how that festival in turn helped to integrate New Orleans. And Colin Meloy and Judy Collins join us to talk about folk music's history as a tool for organizing and empowering the disenfranchised, especially through the voice of Pete Seeger. The fight continues to surround hate and force it to surrender. Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt. It is co-written, co-produced and edited by Carmel and Julian Booker, who is also the series' audio engineer. Production assistance from Zach Brogan. Executive producers are RJ Bee and Christina Collins. Show Logo and art by Mark Dowd.  The series theme music is "Ruminations Pt. 3 (Afternoon Haze)" by Steven Warwick.

Dr. William Turner and Dr. Ted Olson talk to Geonoah Davis and Kelly Thompson, two artists whose hip-hop sounds are expanding traditional ideas about music in Appalachia. Borrowing from a generations-old African American heritage of spoken word expression, rap and hip-hop echo a long narrative tradition of African American cultural survival against all odds. These original historical elements are deeply rooted in the fabric of Appalachia, blending into the backdrop of the region's musical character yet revived and brought forward again by these fresh creative talents with their contemporary styles.Geonoah Davis, known by the artistic name geonovah, was born and raised in Big Stone Gap, VA, in the heart of Appalachia's coal and iron industry. He wasn't the first rapper in his family, and early collaborations with his cousin RKMITCH allowed him to develop his powers of poetry into an artistry for hip-hop lyric and verse. Kelly Thompson, a.k.a Pookie, also hails from Big Stone Gap but spent his early childhood in North Carolina. Friends since middle school, he and Geonoah have made music together for many years—Kelly creating beats and Geonoah writing lyrics. Kelly evolved his talents to include music production, learning from local producers in his area.Dr. William Turner is a long-time African American studies scholar and retired Distinguished Professor of Appalachian Studies and Regional Ambassador from Berea College. He was also a research assistant to Roots author Alex Haley and co-editor of the groundbreaking Blacks in Appalachia. In 2021, Turner received Western Carolina University's individual Mountain Heritage Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Southern Appalachian studies. His memoir called The Harlan Renaissance, available from West Virginia University Press, was awarded the prestigious Weatherford Award at the 2022 Appalachian Studies Association Conference.Dr. Ted Olson is a music historian and professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University. He is the author of many books, articles, reviews, encyclopedia entries, and oral histories. Olson has produced and compiled a number of documentary albums of traditional Appalachian music including On Top of Old Smoky and Big Bend Killing, both from Smokies Life. His work has received a number of awards, including nine Grammy nominations. The East Tennessee Historical Society honored Olson with its Ramsey Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2021.Music featured includes:1.    “John Henry” performed by Amythyst Kiah and Roy Andrade from GSMA's (now Smokies Life's) album Big Bend Killing2.    “Takin' Me Over” performed by geonovah for the album No Options: Hip-Hop in Appalachia, used courtesy of June Appal Recordings3.    “S&S” performed by geonovah for the album No Options: Hip-Hop in Appalachia, used courtesy of June Appal Recordings4.    “Black Lives Never Mattered” by RKMITCH featuring geonovah, vocals mixed by Pookie

We had the pleasure of interviewing Amythyst Kiah over Zoom video!GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah shares her new album, Still + Bright via Rounder Records. Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Green Day and Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio, the 12-track album is a vital new addition to Kiah's body of work, one largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. While her 2021 Wary + Strange details her grief, anger, and abandonment, Still + Bright is her liberation from the events of her earlier life, examining the vast expanse of her inner world, passions, self-exploration and realization, with a darkly cinematic twist. The project – which Rolling Stone hailed is “poised to be a major moment for the east Tennessee-raised singer-songwriter” – expands upon the wild definitions of Americana music. From gothic love songs with haunting vocals (“Silk and Petals feat. Butch Walker”) to a furiously stomping fantasy-inspired folk epic (“I Will Not Go Down” feat.Billy Strings"), or an ode to meditation laced with lush mandolin lines and lovely fiddle melodies (“S P A C E”), the album affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth. The album is a collision of her love of indie rock, garage guitars and symphonic metal, flawlessly melded with the visceral lyricism and songwriting she's renowned for in the roots community.The project – which features collaborations with S.G. Goodman, Billy Strings and Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix) – also marks a complete transformation in Kiah's songwriting process: her first time opening up her approach and working with co-writers on an album. The album features co-writes with punk legend Tim Armstrong, Sadler Vaden (guitarist/vocalist for Jason Isbell's 400 Unit) and Sean McConnell (Brittney Spencer, Bethany Cosentino).Kiah is currently on the road on her Still + Bright Tour, plus she recently was announced as direct support for select dates of Larkin Poe's The Bloom Tour.About Amythyst Kiah:With an unforgettable voice that's both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter is a “fantastic fingerpicker, dynamo singer and profound songwriter [who] defies all sorts of stereotypes” (Guitar Player). Her 2021 release of Wary + Strange earned glowing features and reviews from The New York Times, NPR Morning Edition, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, plus performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Morning. Kiah is also a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose standout track “Black Myself” (written by Kiah) earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best American Roots Song. She recently joined Iron & Wine on their summer tour, and has shared stages with The Who, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, CAM and more.  We want to hear from you!

This is an encore presentation of a previous episode, originally airing in January 2022. --- Championed by some today's biggest names on the fringes of country music, singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah released her breakthrough album Wary + Strange in 2021 to rave reviews. Upon its release, Pitchfork dubbed the record “an intensely personal document (that) examines the realities of being a Southern Black LGBTQ+ woman in songs both defiant and vulnerable.” One of those tracks in particular, the Grammy-nominated “Black Myself,” matches a hypnotic groove and gritty distortion with lyrics addressing the horrors of chattel slavery and the Brown Paper Bag Test, making for an unforgettable statement that channels both Odetta and Public Enemy. On today's episode, Amythyst discusses “Black Myself” in detail, as well as growing up with an audiophile father, being intrigued as a kid by a particular Santana album cover, and how an a cappella Tori Amos song inspired her to share her most personal struggles.

In this inaugural (and monthly)  Economic Recovery Corps (ERC) Fellow "Spin and Chat," Neil and Will sit down with Mick Thornton - a self described builder of things and current Fellow in San Juan County, Utah.  In a previous episode (episode 139) Nathan Ohle, President and CEO of the International Economic Development Council, explained the purpose of the ERC - as described on the website - "a new collaborative initiative designed to accelerate recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in distressed communities and regions throughout the U.S. by connecting organizations with the talent and capacity needed to advance new ways of doing economic development that promote economic resilience and transformative change."  It connects a Fellow to a Host community in order to build capacity and drive transformative change.  Mick Thorton is one of those Fellows!  Hear from Mick as he describes why he applied and all about his project in San Juan, UT - and how challenges there (and other regions) are much more similar to challenges in Appalachia than they are different.  You'll also hear about Mick's background, what he hopes to accomplish and maybe a little about the "adventure" he and his family have been on the two years prior to accepting the fellowship - in the end, it's about the people!  As a former Pastor and Radio Host, those learned skills for Mick have seamlessly been adapted to the ever expanding (and new) field of economic development - or as Mick describes, a field built on connections.  Take a listen to get a true understanding of why Mick does what he does - and how the region he works in is better for it.  You might even hear Neil and Will talk about the "greatest two minutes in sports" - or why Neil has turned his back on the unofficial drink of Kentucky.  Also, don't forget about the #AppBiz of the week: Horse Soldier!

With the Grammy's just over a week away, host Carmel Holt welcomes back the extraordinary multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, poet, and activist Allison Russell, who is up for four Grammy's this year for her second solo album, The Returner, making her an eight-time nominee in three short years. Allison's career spans over two decades, and over a dozen albums recorded with her bands Po' Girl, Birds of Chicago, and Our Native Daughters - her collaborative project with Rhiannon Giddens, Amythyst Kiah, and Leyla McCalla. But it was Outside Child, Allison Russell's critically acclaimed, and four-time Grammy-nominated 2021 solo debut, that set off what has been a whirlwind three years of awards, accolades, touring, headlining Newport Folk Festival, collaborating, activism, and building what she calls “the Rainbow Coalition”. In today's conversation, Allison reflects on the last couple of years, discusses what awards mean to her, and shares the story of making The Returner as a second chapter of a trilogy: Outside Child was a chronicle of her escape from childhood abuse and trauma, to finding healing, love and chosen family in art, music, and community, and The Returner is the next chapter: a celebration of survivor's joy.

“I've had so many different ways that I've described my music,” says singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah, “but it's always been important to me, to allow myself to explore.” That's exactly what she's doing on her latest EP, Pensive Pop—bringing new life and depth to pop-rock songs like Green Day's “Hitchin' A Ride” and Katy Perry's “Chained To The Rhythm” in ways that draw out the soulful heart of those tunes. In this episode, Amythys Kiah and Margo Price dig into how therapy has deepened her songwriting, the expansiveness of the country genre and Kiah's predictions for the future of the country music scene. Show Notes: Amythyst Kiah's EP, Pensive Pop, is available to stream and purchase now.This fall, Amythyst Kiah is on tour across the United States and Europe.

In times of deep sorrow or joy, humans have always turned to music. Archaeologists have found evidence of instruments among very early civilizations. Spiritual communities have centered on music for centuries. We teach our children their ABCs and how to brush their teeth with songs. We dance out our feelings and cry along with sad tunes. What is it about music that enables it to work so powerfully on our bodies, minds and emotions?That is one of the core animating questions of this conversation with Allison Russell. Russell is a Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter whose debut album, “Outside Child,” was named one of the best albums of 2021 by critics at NPR and The Times.Russell has played in bands including Birds of Chicago and Our Native Daughters, traversing folk, rock 'n' roll, Celtic music, the blues and other genres. But alongside her powerhouse vocals and gorgeous melodies, Russell infuses a deep scholarly curiosity into her songs — not just about the nature and power of music, but also what it can teach listeners about our world.Digging into archives and family history, she explores themes like generational trauma, our relationships to diaspora and migration and how music can build empathic bridges between us in times of deep division. But above all, her songs testify to the sheer human capacity for resilience: our capacity to transcend our darkest times if we hold on, reach out to one another and seek out art that helps console.In this episode, Russell performs four songs with a full band, so listeners can enjoy her infectious art. And then we use those songs as jumping-off points to explore the deeper ideas embedded in her music: why we fall into melodies so soon after our births; how music moves us differently from how books or speeches do; how sound can help regulate our emotions, slow our breathing and rewire our neural networks; how Russell's melodies and vocal performances come together in her mind; why songs can at times be more persuasive than nonfiction; why our unwillingness to divulge painful secrets goes back to the Victorian era; how generational trauma like the Middle Passage connects to personal trauma in the present; how Russell structures her songs to help people transcend profound pain; what message Russell would send to people who are struggling and much more.This episode contains references to sexual abuse.Mentioned:“The Transmogrification of Trauma into Art” by Allison Russell“Barley” by Birds of Chicago“Real Midnight” by Birds of Chicago“Songs of Our Native Daughters” by Our Native Daughters“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot“Take Em Away” by Old Crow Medicine Show“The Art of Disappearance” by Hanif AbdurraqibMusic and Book Recommendations:The Bone People by Keri HulmeA Fortune for Your Disaster by Hanif AbdurraqibBreaking the Thermometer by Leyla McCallaCarry Me Home by Mavis Staples and Levon HelmThis episode was guest hosted by Annie Galvin, the associate producer of “The Ezra Klein Show.” Galvin has covered books and music for almost a decade and hosted a season of “Public Books 101,” a public-scholarship podcast she co-created.Thoughts?

The commissioners pointed out that in the wake of the tragic Oregon District shootings three years ago, the governor promised to pass common-sense gun laws, which never materialized.    Well if you're looking to save some money on gas, then you might want to hear about this next story. The Greater Dayton RTA is going to be offering free rides on weekends over the summer starting tomorrow, June 4th, and going through September 4th. The RTA is offering free rides on both its fixed-route buses and para-transit vehicles, and RTA officials say they hope that the cost of providing the free weekend rides will be offset by increased ridership, particularly as gas prices continue to increase. For more information, visit iriderta.org.   If you remember last week I let you know about the curfew sweep that police would be doing last weekend. Well, the numbers are in and the police caught zero juveniles breaking curfew during last Friday's sweep, which police are touting as a success. The sweep primarily took place downtown but also included parks where juveniles are regularly observed congregating in.    Well, the City of Dayton will be putting Gettysburg Avenue on a, quote, “diet,” to help reduce what city leaders call “automobile circus acts” and “hooning,” which is apparently a word used to describe reckless vehicle operation maneuvers like drifting and burnouts and the like. The diet consists of shrinking the roadway and decreasing the number of traffic lanes, which city leaders say is larger than it needs to be based on Dayton's current population. The changes would be reminiscent of what the city did to the area of Brown St. near UD and the city plans to take action immediately while simultaneously seeking funding for more long-term fixes. The city argues that the changes are needed because, since 2015, a 3.5-mile stretch of Gettysburg has been the location of over 1400 accidents, 59 serious injuries, and 10 fatalities, including a recent one that killed four people. The city is going to be seeking public input before making any decisions on permanent changes and plans to apply for a state infrastructure bank loan to help fund the project.    The City of Dayton is planning to use some of its American Plan Rescue Act funds, $150,000 to be exact, to help fund a pre-school on wheels program. The program, known as Pop Up Preschool, seeks to provide preschool options for areas of the city that are preschool deserts. Kimberly Jarvis, director of the On Purpose Academy and Mentoring Center, which runs the Pop Up Preschool program, says she has the teachers that will be needed for the program but needs help with funding to convert RVs into mobile classrooms, which would serve between 9-12 students at a time and travel to two locations over the course of the school day. To learn more about the program, visit www.opamc.net/pup.   In other childcare-related news, the City of Dayton is spending over half a million dollars to help consolidate four childcare centers in East Dayton under one roof. The $11 million building is being constructed on the site of the former Lincoln School in the Twin Towers neighborhood by Miami Valley Child Development Centers and will be known as the Lincoln Hill Child and Family Center. The school will serve 250 students, at least 90% of whom meet federal poverty guidelines. The MVCDC received the funds through moneys that the city got from a community development block grant and were awarded them through a competitive grant process. The new building will have 14 classrooms, office space, a community training space, and a full-service commercial kitchen.    Well now that the Ohio redistricting process mess continues to result in anti-democratic outcomes, with the Dayton Daily News reporting recently that the new district boundaries will mean that some incumbents will be running unopposed in spite of the fact that the partisan voter makeup of those districts has changed due to the fact that Ohio's filing deadline has not been extended or re-opened since candidates filed their petitions in February. Since then, the districts have changed greatly in some instances. For example, Riverside recently went from a Republican-leaning district to the one represented by Dayton's state representative, Willis Blackshear, Jr. Similarly, the district represented by former Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer added Trotwood and other Democrat-leaning areas and now favors Democrats, but he will be running unopposed in the general as no Democrat filed in what used to be a Republican-leaning district. Secretary of State LaRose says there's nothing he can do and that any changes in filing deadlines are set by law and must be made by the Ohio Statehouse. However, candidates may still file as independents without party affiliation if they do so by 4pm on August 1st, the day before the rescheduled primary will take place. Montgomery County Democratic Party Chairman Mark Owens called the claim by Republicans that there isn't time to re-open the process, quote, “ridiculous,” and called for a 10-day window for candidates to file in the newly redrawn districts. You can find out about your district by visiting findmydistrict.ohiosos.gov.    Well if you're vegan, or just trying to reduce your meat consumption, you'll want to hear this news. There's a new vegan restaurant opening up at the 2nd Street Market called Vegan It IZ Eats, which is owned by Dayton native Rhea Adkins. It will have a rotating breakfast and lunch menu including things like jack fruit tacos, coconut bacon grilled cheese, chai french toast, and more. It will also carry meal prep options, granola, seasoning blends, nut milks, dressings, sauces, and a cookbook. You can visit veganitizeats.com for more information.    A new crisis center for those experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises is going to be opening up in the Carillon neighborhood here in Dayton later this year if all goes to plan. The Crisis Now Receiving Center, which is a project of RI International and the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services (or ADAMHS), will open at Elizabeth Place. Individuals in crisis can call Montgomery County at 833-580-2255 to receive support.    And finally, if you're like me and enjoy a good local craft beer, you'll want to check out my friend Alexis Larsen's article in the Dayton Daily News from this past Sunday's paper, which talks about the Dayton Ale Trail. There are 31 local breweries in and around Dayton that participate in the trail, and all you need to do to start is visit one of them and pick up your Dayton Ale Trail passport, which you can collect stamps in by visiting each of the breweries on the list and purchasing a beer. Dayton's breweries are on the list, as well as surrounding ones like Eudora, Lucky Star, and many more. Once you've visited all of the other 30 breweries, you can collect your final beer at the Yellow Cab Tavern in Dayton, where you'll be awarded a 16 oz. stainless steel pint glass. I've never made it to all of them in one year, but I think I'll make that a goal this year, so I hope you'll join me and maybe I'll see you around at one of them this summer.    That's it for last week's news, and now here's what's going on in Dayton this weekend and beyond:   The Dayton Jewish Film Festival kicked off yesterday, June 2nd, at the Dayton Art Institute with a screening of “That Orchestra With the Broken Instruments.” The remaining films, however, will be screened at The Neon movie theater downtown, with films running now through June 26th.

Inside Appalachia
From Pittsburgh To Georgia To Shenandoah, We Asked ‘What Is Appalachia?' Here's What You Said

Inside Appalachia

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 7, 2022 53:49


What is Appalachia? This week, we're re-airing a December 2021 episode that seeks to answer this question, with stories from Mississippi to Pittsburgh.  Appalachia connects mountainous parts of the South, the Midwest, the Rust Belt, even the Northeast. Politically, it encompasses 423 counties across 13 states — West Virginia is the only state entirely inside Appalachia.   That leaves so much room for geographic and cultural variation. This week, we ask people from five Appalachian states if they feel like they're in Appalachia.   Mississippi Bob Owens, locally known as 'Pop Owens', standing in front of his watermelon stand outside New Houlka, Miss. Pop said he was aware that Mississippi is part of Appalachia, but that no one in the state would consider themselves Appalachian. Caitlin Tan/WVPB Bob Owens is a watermelon farmer outside New Houlka, in the northeastern part of Mississippi. Owens said he was aware that Mississippi is part of Appalachia, but that no one in the state would consider themselves Appalachian.  Shenandoah Valley  In the 1960s, while some localities were clamoring to get into Appalachia, on the eastern edge of the region some lawmakers fought to keep their counties outside the boundaries, including politicians in Roanoke, Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley. Appalachian Studies associate professor Emily Satterwhite said explaining to her students why some counties in Virginia are included in Appalachia, but others aren't is confusing.  Pittsburgh  Appalachia's largest city is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When we asked people from that city to tell us if they consider it a part of Appalachia, about half said no.  “I definitely do not feel that I am Appalachian culturally,” said Mark Jovanovich, who grew up just outside Pittsburgh's city limits in the Woodland Hills area. “Personally, I would consider the city of Pittsburgh is sort of like a mini New York City. I guess we'd probably be lumped in as like a Rust Belt city, which makes enough sense, but definitely not Appalachian culturally.” Writer Brian O'Neill disagrees. He wrote a book called “The Paris of Appalachia: Pittsburgh in the Twenty-First Century.”  What Do You Think? How about you? Do you call yourself an Appalachian? Why or why not?
