Today, we proudly present something a little different on American Songcatcher. Instead of the usual documentary podcast-style piece, this is a compilation of field recordings I did in Buncombe and Madison Counties just outside of Asheville, NC. Considered the mecca of the long held traditions in ballad singing and old-time mountain music, this area is also home to the “Minstrel of the Appalachians”, one of the most important yet lesser-known figures in folk and old time music, Bascom Lamar Lunsford - who was born on this day 142 years ago.  Over the last year, I was fortunate enough to visit North Carolina several times, to visit with Bascom's old home and talk with head of the non-profit that now owns it, perform at the annual Lunsford Festival at Mars Hill University, and witness the return of filmmaker David Hoffman, who first filmed Bascom in the 1964, and was coming back to visit the area for the first time in the nearly 60 years since. This is a window into a living tradition.

Interview with Joe Cannon of Resurrectionists Resurrectionists were originally formed by lyricist, guitarist, and banjo picker Joe Cannon and bassist Jeff Brueggeman from the locally revered trio WORK with drummer Josh Barto and pedal steel player Gavin Hardy. On the group's 2019 debut album What Comes In -- a collection of everyman trouble tales delivered with dark wit and piquant Midwestern tang -- Gavin's mournful, swelling steel work helped steer songs into Gothic-country territory. On Now That We Are All Ghosts, Hardy has been replaced by multi-instrumentalist Gian Pogliano. Gian's penchant for more adventurous, wider-ranging sonic discourse inspires Resurrectionists to branch out into unexpected stylistic experimentation. The material here is informed equally by the meticulous melodic abstractions of pre-punk icons on Television as the Old Weird American sounds of Dock Boggs and Bascom Lamar Lunsford.

Asheville, North Carolina's history as a music center goes back to the 1920s and string-band troubadours like Lesley Riddle and Bascom Lamar Lunsford, and country-music pioneer Jimmie Rodgers. But there's always been a lot more to this town than acoustic music and scenic mountain views. From the experimental Black Mountain College that drew a range of minds as diverse as German artist Josef Albers, composer John Cage, and Albert Einstein, Asheville was also the spiritual home for electronic-music pioneer Bob Moog, who invented the Moog synthesizer first popularized by experimental bands like Kraftwerk to giant disco hits like Donna Summer's “I Feel Love.”It's also a town where busking culture ensures that music flows from every street corner, and it's the adopted hometown of many modern musicians in a multitude of genres, including Pokey LaFarge, who spent his early career busking in Asheville, and Moses Sumney, a musician who's sonic palette is so broad, it's all but unclassifiable.In this premiere episode of Carolina Calling, we wonder and explore what elements of this place of creative retreat have drawn individualist artists for over a century? Perhaps it's the fact that whatever your style, Asheville is a place that allows creativity to grow and thrive.Subscribe to Carolina Calling to follow along as we journey across the Old North State, visiting towns like Shelby, Greensboro, Durham, Wilmington, and more.Brought to you by The Bluegrass Situation and Come Hear NCMusic used in this episode:Bascom Lamar Lunsford - “Dry Bones”Jimmie Rodgers - “My Carolina Sunshine Girl” Kraftwerk - “Autobahn”Donna Summer - “I Feel Love” Pokey LaFarge - “End Of My Rope”Moses Sumney - “Virile” Andrew Marlin - “Erie Fiddler (Carolina Calling Theme)”Moses Sumney - “Me In 20 Years”Steep Canyon Rangers - "Honey on My Tongue”Béla Bartók - "Romanian Folk Dances”New Order - “Blue Monday”Quindar - “Twin-Pole Sunshade for Rusty Schweickart”Pokey LaFarge - “Fine To Me” Bobby Hicks Feat.

The Bascom Lamar Lunsford Mountain Music Festival is the only one that Lunsford allowed to carry his name. In 1928, Lunsford started the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville as part of the annual Rhododendron Festival. The festival was such a hit that the local newspaper declared it should be an annual event. The Mountain Dance and Folk Festival is the oldest continuing festival in the nation and became a model for the National Folk Festival and other festivals that followed.

In 1965 a young David Hoffman traveled from New York to the Appalachian mountains North Carolina to capture a story about Bascom Lamar Lunsford who was running a music festival in Ashville, NC for mountain music dancers and singers. The result became the first ever televised program about bluegrass music. In this episode David and I talk about the history of this film, Mr. Lunsford, and the historical significance of this film.

In 1941, the famed folklorist and field recorder Alan Lomax, along with two colleagues, recorded a banjo player from the Blue Ridge Mountains named Bascom Lamar Lunsford. One of the songs he recorded in 1941, “Swannanoa Tunnel,” tells a very local story about a universal theme – the human cost of progress.

The Homicide Squad is a special segment of Ipse Dixit devoted to murder ballads, those delightfully grisly folk songs that tell stories about the ultimate sin. Most murder ballads are based on true stories, more or less. And many of those true stories took place in Appalachia.Each episode of the Homicide Squad will focus on a different murder ballad. I will explain the true story behind the song, when it has survived. And I will explore how the song has evolved over time, sharing several different versions to illustrate different interpretations.The subject of this first episode is one of my very favorite murder ballads, The Banks of the Ohio.Tracks:Red Patterson's Piedmont Log Rollers, Down on the Banks of the Ohio (1927).Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Banks of the Ohio (1953).Blue Sky Boys, Down on the Banks of the Ohio (1936).Irene and Ellen Kossoy, The Banks of the Ohio (1956).Joan Baez, Banks of the Ohio (1961).Clarence Ashley (with Fred Price on fiddle, Clint Howard, and Doc Watson), Banks of the Ohio (1961).Kristen Hersh, Banks of the Ohio (1998).Dolly Parton, Banks of the Ohio (2014).Vandaveer, Banks of the Ohio (2013).

In the spring of 1927, Jimmie Rodgers moved to Asheville and honed his craft with live performances on local radio station WWNC. A connection with music promoter Bascom Lamar Lunsford may have helped Jimmie secure an audition at the legendary Bristol Sessions that August.

In this episode of Houghton75, we speak with John Stauffer, Professor of English as well as African and African American Studies, about the wanted poster that was integral to finding and capturing the assassin (John Wilkes Booth) of President Lincoln and his conspirators. The poster was one of the first to have photographs, but those on Houghton’s copy aren’t quite what they seem. The poster is on display in our current exhibition, where it can be viewed through April 22, 2017.
