Podcast appearances and mentions of Elizabeth Cotten

Der er pyntet helt særligt op i denne udgave af Turbinens Artist Talk i anledning af Simone Tangs besøg, da hun har medbragt en hyggelig kolonihaveagtig scenografi komplet med mormorgardiner, levende lys og et bord dækket til samtale. Simone Tang er stadig et forholdsvist ubeskrevet blad i eget navn, men hendes musik har allerede vakt opsigt. I denne snak med Michael Gonzalez fortæller hun om vejen til debutalbummet, som blev til i tæt samarbejde med Søren Manscher, og hvordan ønsket om analoge optagelser og et lo-fi-udtryk blev en slags protest mod den perfekte digitale lyd. Hun afslører, hvordan en gammel båndoptager og inspiration fra bl.a. Elizabeth Cotten og Joni Mitchell har været med til at forme hendes særlige lyd.Der bliver også plads til refleksioner over det engelske versus danske sprog i sangskrivningen, hendes barndomsdrøm om at deltage i børne-MGP, og hvorfor det faktisk er helt okay ikke at være teknisk perfekt – bare man har noget personligt på spil. Hør også om samarbejdet med Ki! og Ida Laurberg, om Suzuki Splash'en der nu fungerer som rullende scenografi-lager, og om hvordan skuespillererfaringen smitter af på musikformidlingen.Simone Tang deler afslutningsvis sine drømmeduetter – både med legender som afdøde Rodriguez og Joni Mitchell og Paul Simon – og giver sit bud på det bedste råd, hun har fået i musikkens verden: Find din kerne, og resten skal nok følge med.Denne Artist Talk er optaget 26. marts 2025. Interview udført og tilrettelagt af Michael Gonzalez. Redigeret af: Jakob Meinert. Redaktør: Jeanne Tost. Produceret af Spillestedet Turbinen, 2025.Tak fordi du lyttede med – vi håber, vi ses på Turbinen i Randers!Del gerne dine liveoplevelser med os på vores Instagramprofil & på vores Facebookside

Die dänische Singer-Songwriterin setzt für ihr Solo-Debütalbum auf die Kraft der leisen Töne und persönlichen Texte. Mit "Things I Remember" möchte sie in die Fußstapfen solch illustrer Vorbilder wie Elizabeth Cotten, Édith Piaf, Nick Drake oder Paul Simon treten. Die aus dem dänischen Svendborg stammende Simone Tang hat sich nicht nur bereits als gefragte Session- und Live-Gitarristin für anderer Leute Projekte und Bands einen Namen gemacht. Auch kann die studierte Musikerin auf diverse Soundtrack-Arbeiten zurückblicken und ist sogar schon erfolgreich als Schauspielerin in Erscheinung getreten. Nun wagt die 34-Jährige den vielleicht größten Schritt und veröffentlicht dieser Tage ihr erstes Album unter eigenem Namen. Gemeinsam mit ihrem engen Freund Søren Manscher, der Gitarre und Backing Vocals beisteuerte, spielte sie die Songs für "Things I Remember" weitestgehend live und mit dem Mut zum Unperfekten, Direkten ein. Dazu passt, dass sich viele der Lieder mit persönlichen Erfahrungen und dem Leben (und mitunter Sterben) enger Angehöriger befassen, denen Tang musikalische Hommagen widmet. Mehr erfahren wir von Simone Tag selbst, wenn sie heute zu Gast im studioeins ist.

Editor's note: For this episode, we invited our friend Dawn Landes to interview Peggy Seeger. Dawn was the perfect choice to interview the feminist folk icon. She recently joined us on a special episode with Aoife O'Donovan to discuss their feminist-themed new albums. We're thrilled to welcome Dawn back as guest host!I can't believe it took me 40 years to come across Peggy Seeger's music. I'm a little mad about this honestly, and have been trying to make up for lost time by diving deep into her songs and her story. I've been a fan of her older brother, Pete Seeger since I was a kid but didn't realize the depth of talent and reach in the Seeger family …they are truly Folk Royalty! Peggy Seeger is the daughter of a celebrated modernist composer and a musicologist who grew up with people like Alan Lomax and Elizabeth Cotten hanging out in her family home. At 89 years old she's released 24 solo recordings and been a part of over a hundred more. She's built her career on wit, incredible musicianship and unflappable activism.On this episode of Basic Folk, I am honored to talk with Peggy Seeger about her beginnings in feminism, her decades-long partnership with Scottish singer Ewan MacColl, the creation of the BBC Radio Ballads, the importance of hope and her dream tattoos! She even sang us a song from memory that I doubt she had sung in many years. Peggy is a repository of traditional songs and continues to tour and play music with her family as she's done throughout her whole life. Although she claims that she doesn't write anthems, Seeger's songs have become synonymous with women's rights and environmental activism. Coming from a woman who once sang her defense in a courtroom, we should all take Peggy's advice…“Something wrong? Make a song!”--- Dawn LandesFollow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

We know Ottawa-born Sue Foley from the blues albums she's created and released. Plus Multiple blues awards on both sides of the border. Her new album is One Guitar Woman. A tribute to the female pioneers of guitar. This was/is a very personal journey for Sue. She's studied the many women who played guitar before her and left their legacy to study and pass on. Female singers and players like Memphis Minnie, Elizabeth Cotten, Maybelle Carter, Sister Rosetta Tharp, Geeshe Wiley,  Lydia Mendoza etc. Many tales and tunes are connected to the album. Four-time Blues Foundation Traditional Female Artist award winner, Sue Foley's new album One Guitar Woman is a heartfelt tribute to the female pioneers of the guitar - including Memphis Minnie, Lydia Mendoza, Maybelle Carter, Ida Presti, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. The album showcases the dexterity of Foley's acoustic nylon string guitar skills as she expands on her blues playing into other genres like Piedmont fingerpicking, traditional country, the Carter Scratch,  flamenco and classical. “From the time I decided to be a professional guitar player, I've always looked for female role models. These are the women who were expressing themselves through the instrument as far back as the 1920's, at the inception of radio and recorded music. They are the trailblazers and visionaries whose footsteps I walk in,”  Sue  Foley.

"Grateful Dead's Notable Tracks from 1977 plus a cure for Female Orgasmic Disorder"Larry Mishkin covers the Grateful Dead show from March 18th, 1977, at the Winterland arena in San Francisco, showcasing notable performances of songs like "Sugaree" and "Peggy-O." He delves into the history and significance of these songs within the Grateful Dead repertoire. Additionally, the discussion extends to the cannabis industry, highlighting the financial strategies of marijuana companies to minimize tax obligations under Section 280E of the IRS Code. He also touches on the opening of Nevada's first legal marijuana consumption lounge, signaling a shift in cannabis regulations in the state. Finally, Larry addresses the proposal to add Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD) as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana use in Illinois, reflecting evolving perspectives on cannabis as a therapeutic option for various health conditions. Grateful DeadMarch 18, 1977 (47 years ago)Winterland, S.F.Grateful Dead Live at Winterland Arena on 1977-03-18 : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive TITLE:  1977 Winterland:  The Dead Bust Out Fire On The Mountain and Take Their One and Only Attempt At Terrapin Flyer. Just a month after the Swing Auditorium show that we previewed a few weeks ago, Dead went home to Winterland for a string of shows.  This one stands out for a few reasons that we will get to as the show goes on. INTRO:                 Sugaree                                Track #4                                7:25 – 9:05               "Sugaree" is a song with lyrics by long-time Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and music by guitaristJerry Garcia.[1] It was written for Jerry Garcia's first solo album Garcia, which was released on January 20, 1972. As with the songs on the rest of the album, Garcia plays every instrument himself except drums, played by Bill Kreutzmann, including acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and an electric guitar played through a Leslie speaker. Released as a single from the Garcia album, "Sugaree" peaked at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1972 and was Garcia's only single ever on that chart.Elizabeth Cotten, a North Carolinafolksinger, wrote and recorded a song called "Shake Sugaree" in 1966.[3] The chorus of Cotten's song is "Oh lordie me/Didn't I shake sugaree?" Hunter was aware of this song when he wrote "Sugaree."The song was first performed live by the Grateful Dead on July 31, 1971, at the Yale Bowl at Yale University, as was the song "Mr. Charlie".  The Dead played it 362 times in concert.  Last played on July 8, 1995 at Soldier Field in Chicago.                 A classic rocking Dead tune, usually a first set number, I've seen it as a show opener, first set closer, and encore.  In this clip they really rock it but it's only a small peak at this 15 minute version of the tune.  Well worth pulling it down on Archive and checking out the entire number.  You won't be sorry.  SHOW No. 1:    Peggy-O                                Track #6                                4:20 – 6:00                          Traditional, credit for the Grateful Dead version generally go to Jerry but some say Bill had a hand in writing it.              This song derives from the earlier Scottish traditional song Bonnie Lass of Fyvie-o. Fyvie is thought to have been a staging post between Aberdeen and Fort George in Scotland. This song does occur with a number of title variations. It is possible that Fennario is a corruption of Fyvie-o.Similar traditional songs also occurred in the UK; Handsome Polly O and Bonny Barbara O, though these are less similar to the modern Peggy-O song.The title Peggy-O is used on Grateful Dead recordings. The version of Peggy-O that is included in the Jerry Garcia box set All Good Things is a previously unreleased studio recordings from Spring 1979 and is given the title Fennario. The Fennario title is also used on concert recordings of The Dead and Phil Lesh & Friends.Although not released on a Dead studio album, the song was included on the remastered recordings of both Terrapin Station and Go To Heaven.The Grateful Dead first performed Peggy-O in December 10, 1973 at the Charlotte Coliseum in N.C.. It was then played in every year through to 1995 usually no more than a dozen times each year though it was played more regularly during the 1977 to 1981 period. Played a total of 265 times. The last performance was on July 5, 1995 at the Riverport Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, MO (just outside of St. Louis).In this clip, I really enjoy Jerry's strong voice, the solid jamming and some stealth piano contributions from Keith. SHOW No. 2:    Fire On The Mountain                                Track # 9                                1:46 – 3:30                 Hunter/Hart (not Jerry!)                 Released on Shakedown Street on November 8, 1978, last song on first side of album.                 First time ever played – one of the reasons I chose this show over a number of other great shows on this date – others include a smokin “early” Dead show in 1967 at Winterland and 1971 at the Fox Theater in St. Louis coming fast on the heels of the Dead's epic six night Capitol Theater run in Port Chester in late February. This is another of those songs with a long and complicated genesis story, perhaps not worth getting into too much detail about here, but the rough outlines at least are important to note. The lyrics, according to Robert Hunter in Box of Rain, were “Written at Mickey Hart's ranch in heated inspiration as the surrounding hills blazed and the fire approached the recording studio where we were working.”Hart, credited with the music for the song, recorded a proto-rap version of the song for an unreleased album entitled Area Code 415, recorded in 1972 and 1973. It was also included on a Mickey Hart album entitled Fire on the Mountain, recorded in 1973-74. It appeared as an instrumental entitled “Happiness is Drumming” on Hart's 1976 studio album, Diga. And it finally began showing up in the Grateful Dead repertoire, sung by Jerry Garcia, in 1977, undergoing a number of variants of the lyrics until it settled into the form that was eventually recorded and released on Shakedown Street, in November 1978. There's a lot of other detail I haven't mentioned—possibly worthy of some historian taking it apart piece by piece, but you get the rough idea.On March 18, 1977 at Winterland Arena, San Francisco. "Fire" appeared for the first time, closing the first set, following its eternal partner, "Scarlet Begonias." This combination of tunes, which frequently enclosed some wonderful jamming, came to be known as "Scarlet Fire." There were a handful of occasions on which “Fire” appeared without “Scarlet Begonias,” but not many. approx 15 out of the total 253 performances. It remained steadily in the repertoire from then on, and was played for the final time on July 2, 1995, at the Deer Creek Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana.This clip being the song's first live performance and almost a year and half before it's commercial release, there are noticeable differences between this version and the one we al know and love.  But they go there very quickly as only two months later on May 8, 1977 the Dead played the Barton Hall show that many declare to be the best Dead show ever.  While that may or may not be true, what is true is that the version of Scarlet Fire is awesome and certainly befitting a show many do consider to be the finest Dead show of them all.Many more were to follow and the lucky ones who were in Winterland this night got to witness how it all started.   SHOW No. 3:    Terrapin Flyer                                                              Alhambra                                Track # 17                                :53 – end                                 INTO                                 Drums                                Track # 18                                Start – 0:44                 This is another reason I chose this show for today's episode.  This represents the only known instance of the Dead playing the Terrapin Flyer part of the full Terrapin Suite from the Album (released on July 27, 1977) out of the traditional parts.  Although Jerry does not sing the lyrics from this part of the suite, he jams the very distinctive melody.  Interestingly, this is only a few weeks after the debut of Terrapin at the Swing Auditorium on Feb. 26, 1977.  Here, the Dead were trying out this sixth of seven parts of the suite and for whatever reason did not like what they heard or didn't enjoy playing it or, more likely, practicing it, so it was dropped from live performances even though the primary and opening parts of the suite, Lady with a Fan into Terrapin Station, were played a total of 303 times.                 These are the fun little discoveries that even after 40+ years of listening to, following and learning about the band keep it fun, interesting and amazing.                 As for the recording of the entire suite, Keith Olsen was chosen to produce and the band temporarily moved to Los Angeles, as Olsen preferred to work at Sound City, where he had recently achieved success producing Fleetwood Mac's 1975 comeback album.             Olsen had a method for reining in the Dead: "During the cutting of the basic tracks it was pretty hard to get every member of the band in the studio at the same time ... so [Steve] Parish went out to the hardware store and got these giant nails and a great big hammer and as soon as everybody was in, he hammered the door shut from the inside ... we didn't have drifters from the other studios coming in to listen. We didn't have people leaving to go screw around elsewhere. We started getting work done."[18] With Fleetwood Mac, Olsen had a hands-on approach, orchestrating the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and influencing song choice, arrangements and sequencing. He entered the Grateful Dead project with similar expectations, imagining a concept album or song cycle. Olsen said that Davis told him "I need a commercial record out of them."[18] This caused some friction during the sessions as well as with the end results. Kreutzmann said "He'd have us play the same thing over and over again, and we're not really the type of band that can put up with that. ... Our very identity is based on the opposite principle."[                 SHOW No. 4:   Not Fade Away                                Track # 19                                14:00 – 15:40                 Written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty.  Holly and the Crickets recorded the song in Clovis, New Mexico, on May 27, 1957, and it was released as a single (B side to “Oh Boy”) on October 27, 1957 on the Brunswick label.  The rhythmic pattern of "Not Fade Away" is a variant of the Bo Diddley beat, with the second stress occurring on the second rather than third beat of the first measure, which was an update of the "hambone" rhythm, or patted juba from West Africa. Jerry Allison, the drummer for the Crickets, pounded out the beat on a cardboard box.[3] Allison, Holly's best friend, wrote some of the lyrics, though his name never appeared in the songwriting credits. Joe Mauldin played the double bass on this recording. It is likely that the backing vocalists were Holly, Allison, and Niki Sullivan, but this is not known for certain.             First played by the Dead on February 19, 1969 at the Fillmore West in S.F., it was played by the band a total of 561 times and last played on July 5, 1995 at the Riverport Amphitheatre outside of St. Louis.             This is an absolutely ripping version of this tune so much so that I featured only the jam – everyone knows the lyrics, but the jam in this 20 minute version is better than any singing I could have featured. OUTRO:               Around and Around                                Track 21                                4:59 – 6:46                 Very appropriate to end on a Chuck Berry tune given that today is the seventh anniversary of Chuck's death in 2017 at the age of 90.                 "Around and Around" is a 1958 rock song written and first recorded by Chuck Berry. It originally appeared under the name "Around & Around" as the B-side to the single "Johnny B. Goode".  Release on March 31, 1958 on Chicago's own Chess Records checking in at a brisk 2:20. Many bands have covered the song including, most famously, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, and, of course the Dead who played it 418 times, first on November 8, 1970 at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY and lastly on July 6, 1995 at the Riverport Amphitheatre outside of St. Louis – very appropriate since Chuck was born in St. Louis and died in Wentzville, just outside of the city. This is one of the better version of the tune that I have heard.  It checks in at over 8 minutes and the boys just jam it out, throw in a few false endings and finally wrap it up, followed only by Uncle John's Band before the boys say goodnight to the Winterland crazies and head home for a rare post show night in their own beds. .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

 “The folk process” is a term that Charles Seeger came up with to describe the tendency of songs to change a little — or a lot — as they are passed from person to person over the years. It's a process that greatly pleases us in The Flood, because we've always done everything we can to put our own stamp on every song we do. Here, for instance, it's no real secret that our version of this tune has only a nodding acquaintance with the original that the great Elizabeth Cotten wrote with her grandchildren some 60 years old. It grew out of a recent Flood jam at which a riff Charlie started noodling with on his new resonator guitar had him remembering that old Fred Neil take on the Libba Cotten song. In a flash, Dan and Sam were bringing their own magic to the moment.

Okay, up front let's just get this out of the way. We don't know what “sugaree” is, or why you would want to shake it, or what'd happen if you did.And apparently nobody else knows either.Our Story Begins…Let's start our story in the mid-1960s, when folk music legend Elizabeth Cotten recorded her new album, Shake Sugaree.“That's more my grandchildren's song,” Libba Cotten later told Mike Seeger about the title tune. “They made the verses and I played the music. The first verse my oldest grandson, he made that himself, and from that each child would say a word and add to it.”Apparently it was Cotten herself who added that memorable — if enigmatic — chorus (Oh, lordy me / Didn't I shake sugaree? / Everything I got is done and pawned), though “to tell the truth,” she added, “I don't know what got it started. “That's practically how all my songs, I pick up,” she said. “There's somebody'll say something or something done and then... something will come into your mind.” Enter Fred NeilA couple years later, singer/songwriter Fred Neil revisited the song, but in a radically different way. While Cotten's original was a jaunty tune, Fred framed her lyrics with his own slow and positively pensive melody, transforming it from something playful into a poignant meditation on loneliness and loss.The arrangement was so different from Cotten's, in fact, that Capitol Records felt justified in giving Neil co-credit for the composition. Of course, that decision led to further confusion about the song. For instance, when Pat Boone (uh-huh, Pat Boone … !) recorded the song in 1969 on his Departure album, Fred Neil was listed as its only composer, with Cotten nowhere to be found in the credits.But What Is Sugaree?Apparently, nobody bothered to ask Elizabeth Cotten to define “sugaree.” They didn't ask Fred Neil either. Nor Jerry Garcia when he and The Grateful Dead recorded a completely different song with the same name in 1972. (Maybe Pat Boone knows sugaree's secret, but he ain't saying.)All this mystery has led data detectives on a great what-is-sugaree scavenger hunt on the Internet, producing some wildly weird theories. An African-American dance featuring sugar spread on the floor? A variation on a native America word or perhaps an ancient tribe's name? A Gullah term from Cotten's native Carolinas? A corruption of the word shivaree (itself a corruption of the French charivari.)Or Maybe the Question is WHO is Sugaree?Wait. Let's add to the puzzle. What if Sugaree is a person? That's what one prominent early rock ‘n' roll singer/songwriter thought.A decade before Elizabeth Cotten and her grandchildren created their tune, Marty Robbins — yes, Marty (Out in the West Texas town of El Paso) Robbins — wrote a song called “Sugaree” that was released by The Jordanaires.Its lyrics made it clear that for Marty and the boys “Sugaree” was a girl (I got a letter from my baby, Sugaree, wrote me today. / It was the first one that she wrote me, first one since she went away.) And that bit of business prompts an intriguing theory. Could be it be that the Marty Robbins song — which was recorded by several other groups besides The Jordanaires and got wide airplay in the late 1950s on radio and TV — was a favorite of Libba's grandkids? (After all, it was a catchy number … and of course, “sugar” does have famously universal kid appeal.) Maybe that the reason the kids worked it into the song that they were creating with Grandma. If that's the case, it would mean that “sugaree” was simply a cool sound. Cotten and her kids might have just liked the ear tickle they got from the alliteration when they let “shake” shimmy up next to “sugaree.” Our Take on the Tune “Folk progress” is a term that Charles Seeger — folksinger Pete's pop — came up with about a hundred years ago to describe the tendency of melodies and lyrics to change, a little or a lot, as they pass from person to person and generation to generation.It's a process that greatly pleases us in The Flood. From our earliest days, we've done everything we can to carry it on by putting our own stamp on every song we do.This particular number grew out of a recent Flood jam at which a riff Charlie started noodling with on his new resonator guitar had him remembering that old Fred Neil take on the Libba Cotten song. In a flash, Dan and Sam were bringing their own magic to the moment. Here's the result. This is a public episode.

Tracy Chapman became one of the biggest musicians in the world thanks to two critical 80s concepts—affirmative action and the diasporic mindset. Because of the diasporic mindset, many Americans thought of Africa as part of their world, as if Africa's problems are our own, and we are not truly free until South Africans suffering under Apartheid are free. And affirmative action did nothing less than change Chapman's life. We'll explore how those ideas  helped Chapman and how they relate to "Fast Car." We'll also look at what Chapman's life might have been like if she'd never been helped by affirmative action.

It's hard to think of an artist with a more striking and ambitious range than William Kentridge; his work spans etching, drawing, collage, huge tapestries - as well as film, theatre, dance and opera. He was born in Johannesburg and brought up during the apartheid regime; his art is highly politically charged. His parents, both lawyers, were notable figures in the anti-apartheid movement – his father being Sir Sydney Kentridge, who represented Nelson Mandela. For forty years now William Kentridge has used his art to explore the legacy of colonialism, and the barbarity of war. He's probably best known for his charcoal sketches, which become stop-go animations, preserving almost every change and rubbing-out. But he has a keen eye for the absurdity of life too, so we watch typewriters turn into trees, birds flying off the pages of dictionaries, or a film titled “Portrait of the artist as a coffee pot”. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, William Kentridge talks about the importance of music in his work, and brings a playlist that reflects a lifetime of listening. We hear a famous 1937 recording of a Monteverdi madrigal; Janet Baker singing one of the songs from “Les Nuits d'ete” by Berlioz; a duet from The Magic Flute; a rare recording of the American guitarist Elizabeth Cotten; and a collaboration between the Kronos Quartet and a trio of musicians from Mali. He looks back to his childhood in South Africa, and what it was like to grow up under the cruel system of apartheid; and he reveals how important early failures were in enabling him to see the way forward.

The late Aunt Jennie Wilson, who was born in 1900 in Logan County, WV, learned tunes from family members and other musicians in her coalfield community and was among the first women in her region to play the banjo. Our dear friend Dave Peyton — who is much on our minds, since today is the second anniversary of his death — got to know Jennie in the 1960s and learned a number of her songs, many of which he taught The Flood over the years. One of our all-time favorites is “Georgie Buck,” Jennie's old play-party tune that has been in our repertoire for about 20 years now. Below is a 2008 video that Pamela Bowen shot of David leading us on it, with solos by Doug Chaffin, Joe Dobbs and Sam St. Clair.But with the song comes a mystery. After a few decades of thinking this relatively obscure tune was a classic West Virginia folk song, Dave was astounded to find it on the 2006 debut album by The Carolina Chocolate Drops, who reported that they learned it from African-American string band fiddler Joe Thompson. Researching further, Peyton learned that the song actually was heard in many parts of the South, but was relatively rare. So, how in the world, he wondered, did a tune that experts today characterize as “a black Southern banjo song” find its way to the ears of a young white girl on the banks of the Guyandotte River at the start of the 20th century? Jennie Wilson couldn't be asked — by the time of The Chocolate Drops released their debut Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind album, Aunt Jennie had been dead for 14 years — but a veteran reporter like Peyton was undeterred. Talking about it with Appalachian culture authorities, David came up with a theory. Jennie — who started playing square dances and parties when still a teen-ager — probably learned the song from African American musicians who came through Logan County in the 1920s to work on the railroad and/or in the coal mines. Nowadays it is well-documented that some mountain music and dance were influenced by black traditions of rhythmic dance and songs.The Elizabeth Cotton Connection “Georgie Buck” also was in the repertoire of Chapel Hill, NC, guitarist and banjo player Elizabeth Cotten who, at 67, taught the same song to a 19-year-old Taj Mahal. The blues and roots music connoisseur was still thinking of the song 40 years later when he recorded his 1999 Kulanjan album. During the recording session, Taj played it to the Malian musicians who were recording with him; then when he put down his guitar, they started to play their own version based around a 6-string hunter's harp called a “kamale ngoni.”This may be as close as one gets to how the blues once sounded long before even the wax-cylinder recordings at the turn of the century, Taj said, adding, after the last notes faded, “That's five centuries there; the music just went around in a big ring.”Our Take on the TuneMeanwhile, Brother Peyton always loved it when his Flood family gave a new spin to old songs, but even he probably couldn't have imagined our 2022 take on this tune. Just picture Dave grinning to hear Veezy's rollicking sax backed by Charlie's new banjo. To hear our current version of the tune, click here.Everything old is new again, and while the lyrics might say that “Georgie Buck is dead,” his song seems to be more alive than ever.

First active musically as a teenager in Louisville's underground hardcore scene, Rinehart's first band Flight Nineteen played with seminal underground acts like At The Drive In, Joan of Arc, Avail & By The Grace of God. His first solo album “Memories Are Hunting Horns," released in 2010 under the pseudonym “Saredren Wells”, featured a new and very different direction, situating him alongside off-kilter folk artists like Daniel Johnston, & Bonnie “Prince” Billy. He toured briefly following the release, sharing the stage with fellow troubadours Steve Gunn & famed queer folk artist Ed Askew. Relocating to NYC, Rinehart co-founded both The Body Actualized Center, a DIY arts space in Brooklyn, and the "New Age Boy Band" 'Splash', whom he toured the US with in the Summer of 2012 (supporting the band Friends). Turning his attention back to solo work in 2013, Rinehart released “The Funeral Home Sessions,” a 3-song EP of tributes to Fugazi's Ian Mackaye, Neil Young, & folk legend Elizabeth Cotten. In 2015 Rinehart released "Nothing/Everything,” his most ambitious work to date. A 15-song double album LP (released on LA's Buddyhead Records), “Nothing/Everything” highlighted his chameleon-like talent for genre hopping. In turn melancholy and magnanimous, a deft synthesis of all of his previous projects, “Everything” improved on the old while hinting at something new. In recent years he's released a slew of singles including "Protect", "Death Time" (Feat. Charles), "Off On A Roll With The Soul", "Interdimensional Nonconversational Inconsequential Love", "They Say" & "Sight Unseen", and 2 EP's ('Have Fun Idiot' & 'The Funeral Home Sessions'). He's currently gearing up to release another EP ('Finite Jest') later this year. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tophillrecording/support

Scott, Aaron, and Victor discuss NC's connection to America's independence - and the fascinating story of local music legend Elizabeth Cotten. The post History Matters: July 4 and Elizabeth Cotten appeared first on Chapelboro.com.

Elizabeth Cotten is one of the most famous guitar players that has a style that is close to impossible to replicate. In this video, you'll learn about her life, her impact, how to play one of her songs, and some of her best albums. ★ Learn more about starting your Guitar Journey: https://tonypolecastro.com/ ★ FOLLOW on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tac.guitar/ Fingerpicking is a difficult technique to learn on guitar, especially when trying to copy Elizabeth Cotten's style. Because she played the guitar upside down, she played the bass notes with her fingers and her thumb played melody.  This is perhaps one of the most unique aspects of Elizabeth Cotten's fingerpicking style. There's plenty more to look at, and you'll get a chance to learn all about her and her playing style in this video. To wrap up the lesson on Elizabeth Cotten, I'm recommending some of the best Elizabeth Cotten albums. Whether you've never heard of Elizabeth Cotten or you've been playing "Freight Train" for years, there's always something new to find when you listen to her music. In addition to covering Elizabeth Cotten, I want to tell you about Jessica, a TAC Family member who created routines to find more fun, focus, and progress on her guitar journey! Last, but certainly not least, you'll get your weekly dose of acoustic guitar news you can use!

My podcast guest is Chuck Johnson, a musician who composes meditative songs on the pedal steel guitar.Chuck grew up in North Carolina, where he heard pedal steel in the context of country music. After building a career playing fingerpicked acoustic guitar in the style of Elizabeth Cotten and John Fahey, he picked up the pedal steel and took it in a new direction, using its vocal quality and unlimited sustain to create mournful soundscapes.On his new album The Cinder Grove, Chuck recreates lost performance spaces through a technique called convolution reverb. We spent some time discussing the sensory memory of places that have either been destroyed or become inaccessible, and I thought that theme dovetailed nicely with what I’ve been reading about the architect Paul Rudolph’s “psychology of space.”Here’s something beautiful he said during our conversation:“I think that when a space is lost and exists only in memory, it’s sort of like what happens when people are lost. I guess depending on how they’re lost and how you’re able to process the loss, they can linger in our memory like ghosts. With the spaces that I’m working with or thinking about in The Cinder Grove — which are these urban community spaces but also forests and wild areas that have been lost in fires — just because I’m a musician and I have sonic experiences of places … it’s useful for me to try to work with my memories of these places and process the loss that way, using sound.”I used a few snippets from The Cinder Grove in the episode, but I would encourage you to spend some time with the entire album if you get the chance. You can stream and buy Chuck’s music at chuckjohnson.bandcamp.com.Friend-of-the-newsletter Eddie Newman had Chuck as a guest on his own podcast last year, and he graciously introduced us. You can check out Comfort Monk Episode 46 if you want to hear more of the story.Grayson Haver Currin also wrote a moving profile that ran in the New York Times on Feb. 10 titled “Chuck Johnson’s Ode to What’s Been Lost in California’s Fires.”The episode art is “Fire evening” (1929) by Paul Klee.

This week's episode of "Hunkered In The Bunker" finds Dan answering the call of "The God show was great but where the Sam Hill is the Goddess show???" Well, here it is and this show is phenominal and loaded with treats. Starting with a "long note" warm up segment where we learn about Bernsteinn's penchant for holding a note so long that he passes out and yet still manages to continue playing in a trance-like state (I wanna see One Direction do that). The Goddesses are on full display tonight as we are treated to songs by the likes of Elizabeth Cotten, Ani Difranco, Orit Shimoni, Dar Williams and Tegan & Sara while also being treated to songs celebrating Venus & Serena, not to mention readings by Mother Theresa, Laura Chagnon and Ruth Kruger. At a certain point a couple hours in he starts to wrap up and in true Bernsteinn fashion, he rolls on for another hour or so. So, in that "encore" period we get a great run of classics like "22nd Street", "City", "Everybody's Baby" and "Chelse Hotel". We also start to see the disenchantment with Larry blossom and yet Dan still tries to help him with his crossword puzzle. Heady times indeed. Also not to be missed is a killer version of Andrew Calhoun's epic, year-in-a-day type song "Roads in Disrepair" sandwiched between classics "When I'm Gone"(Phil Ochs) and "Thunder Road"(BRUUUUCE) as well as a reimagining of "Piano Man" for the harmonica leaning heroes.

Riding the Rails, Co-director Michael Uys (Lexy Lovell) RIDING THE RAILS recalls the poignant and little-known story of teen hobos during the 1930s, a time of desperation and bitter hardship. These young itinerant Americans were all searching for a better life; what they found was a mixture of freedom, camaraderie, misery, and loneliness. RIDING THE RAILS interweaves the evocative stories of ten men and women who left home in their youth. Producers Michael Uys and Lexy Lovell placed notices in national publications in search of individuals who rode the rails as teenagers. Three thousand people, now in their 70s and 80s, responded. Uys and Lovell selected a handful to tell their stories on camera. "Some hadn't spoken of their experiences in sixty years. They poured their hearts out to us," says Uys. "They were just kids then and when they look back, it's with a blend of nostalgia and pain." RIDING THE RAILS vividly combines the clear-eyed memories of witnesses with archival footage of teens riding atop speeding trains and newsreel interviews with lean-bodied kids full of bravado. The film features a rich soundtrack of American folk tunes of the time, including songs by Woody Guthrie, Elizabeth Cotten, Doc Watson, and Jimmie Rodgers. RIDING THE RAILS co-director and co-producer Michael Uys joins us to talk about a misunderstood era in our nation’s history, and his recollection on the making of a still relevant documentary classic.  For more go to: pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/rails For more about the film go to: ridingtherails-themovie.com For more about Michael Uys go to: erroluys.com

This episode centres around the life and music of legendary folk guitarist Elizabeth 'Libba' Cotten. Born in North Carolina before the turn of the century, Cotten was self-taught on her brother's upside down banjo, and wrote her most famous song, 'Freight Train', as a child. Decades later, chance led her into the home of the iconic Seeger family as a maid, and from there –after shyly displaying her immense talents on the guitar one fateful evening– she was launched into a career that led her well into her old age, and the hearts and minds of the American people. Through a critical lens we explore Cotten's legacy as an emblem of 'authenticity' in the American folk music tradition, within the context of Jim Crow. Doing so, we touch on the history of music technology, as well as the cultural development from songsters and medicine shows during the reconstruction era to the emergence of youth culture and '60s folk revival. Featuring music by Elizabeth Cotten. Intro theme song, credits music and narration by Avalon Rossignol-Tassonyi. Music copyright © the respective artists.

Love to all my people. Let's meet some legends, now. A woman who took in the children of black families who had to work, and ended up raising 40 and holding hundreds more: Mother Hale. A girl who couldn't walk in childhood, but within 7 years was running in the Olympic games: Wilma Rudolph. A girl who saved up pennies to buy a guitar, and went on to write some of America's most popular folk music: Elizabeth Cotten. All of these women started with next-to-nothing in their respective lines of work, and through their grit and sense of mission, succeeded, possibly influencing countless Americans along the way. This is: Something Out of Nothing. As a bonus, I'm adding the unbelievable story of the civil rights giant you may not have heard about: a schoolteacher named Septima Clark. Her story is called “Everything”.

"Yasmin Williams reinvents the guitar with a dazzling array of two-handed techniques, hammering, bowing, and percussion effects – but all in the service of the music. Music that dances, and, in its own way, sings." (John Schaefer) Guitarist, composer, and songwriter Yasmin Williams is both a multi-instrumentalist and multi-tasker. She’s a fingerstyle lap-tapping guitar player who sits and rests the guitar in her lap, to make the guitar into a table on which she sometimes mounts a kalimba; her distinct style also leaves her tap shoe-wearing feet available for her to make beats. Williams also plays banjo, bass, kora, and as she puts it - “anything with strings.” Her keyboard-like percussive approach might have come about from playing (and eventually beating) the Guitar Hero 2 video game. She then got a “real” electric guitar, figured out how to master it her own way, and learned about other guitar heroes – Elizabeth Cotten, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix. Yasmin Williams’ wide variety of influences also includes hip-hop, classic blues, and a degree in music theory and composition from NYU. During the conversation, Williams explains that her use of extended techniques: tapping the guitar from above with both hands, playing the strings with a cello bow, hammering with what looks like a Patellar reflex test hammer in a dulcimer-like fashion, a pick that she sometimes wears on her thumb, the hammer-ons and pull-offs, and beat-making on the guitar (and with her feet) – are all in the service of her songwriting. Her next full-length album, Urban Driftwood, both a beautifully melodic and, of course, percussive affair, is due out in the fall of 2020. Yasmin Williams shares her latest songs without words – featuring all her multi-tasking limbs - remotely, from her home in Virginia. - (Caryn Havlik) Set LIst: "Through the Woods" "Juvenescence" "Restless Heart" Unwind by Yasmin Williams

Elizabeth Cotten became a music star pretty late in her life. In fact, she was a grandmother. But when she was 11 she wrote a song that made it's way across the ocean and was learned by a band called The Quarrymen, who later became The Beatles. Enjoy the story of both, along with Mick's performance of "Freight Train" and more!

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s historic 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, Smithsonian Folkways artists and award winning Boston, Massachusetts progressive folk trio “Lula Wiles” recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with these bright Boston bards. Lula Wiles is a Boston based progressive folk trio consisting of Isa Burke, Eleanor Buckland, and Mali Obomsawin. Their blending of instrumental virtuosity, intricate three part harmony singing, and visionary songwriting has quickly ushered them to the forefront of modern American contemporary folk music. With the recent release of their Smithsonian Folkways album “What Will We Do,” the trio now joins the ranks of America’s most important folk artists. “Long before they were in a band together, the members of Lula Wiles were singing folk songs and trading fiddle tunes at camp in Maine. ‘All of us were lucky to have access to the folk music community at a young age,’ Burke says. “The music traditions that we’re drawing on are social, community-building traditions.” On those warm summer nights, playing music was just plain fun. But the members of Lula Wiles carry those early lessons of community and the meaning of shared art with them to this day, as they seek to create music that questions cultural virtues, soothes aching wounds, and envisions a better world. “Lula Wiles came of age in Boston, in the practice rooms of Berklee College of Music and the city’s lively roots scene. In 2016, the band self-released Lula Wiles, a sensitive, twang-tinged collection of originals. Since then, they have toured internationally, winning fans at the Newport Folk Festival and the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and sharing stages with the likes of Aoife O’Donovan, the Wood Brothers, and Tim O’Brien. “Now, the release of What Will We Do on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings places the group squarely in line with some of its deepest influences, from the protest anthems of Woody Guthrie to the trailblazing songs of Elizabeth Cotten and Hazel Dickens. (Even the band’s name is a twist on an old Carter Family song.)” - http://www.lulawiles.com/bio/ In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator and country music legacy Mark Jones offers a 1983 archival recording of Ozark original fiddler, Roger Fountain, performing the traditional tune “Saint Anne’s Reel,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. In this episode, Charley speaks with environmentalist and author Richard Mason on the question “What’s Worth Keeping” from our past in the rapidly evolving culture of our present.

Today, Nina and Will talk about a very special place for both of them: North Carolina. Together they look at the artists who have hailed from the Old North State — even if they left for New York as soon as they became successful. Will discusses one great indie band and two pioneering guitarists, while Nina examines the state's rich (and unlikely) history with cinema. Clips used: - "Dynamite" by The dB's - "Freight Train" by Elizabeth Cotten - "Rumble" by Link Wray - "Raise Up" by Petey Pablo

Imagino que os pasa como a mi, un escalofrío recorre vuestra columna vertebral cuando os topáis con una buena canción. La historia de Elizabeth Cotten arranca en 1893 cuando a escondidas desarrolla una forma muy personal de tocar la guitarra y que la hace tan única que el propio Dylan hace versiones de sus canciones.

This week on "State of Wonder," exclusive sessions with singer-songwriter Josh Ritter and the epic band Typhoon, new ideas to preserve Portland's arts spaces, musician Laura Veirs branches into podcasting and children's books, and more.City Council Seeks to Preserve Arts Spaces with New ProposalsSo many Oregon cities are going through catalytic change because of rising real estate costs, and the front-line casualties include galleries, stages, clubs and artist studios. Most recently, Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland proposed selling half its building. At a work session this week, Portland City Council showed signs it may be ready to take action with a list of about two dozen recommendations for preserving arts and creative space, ranging from creating a new zoning category for creative spaces to an arts concierge in City Hall and giving arts groups priority pick of surplus city real estate.Former RACC Director Eloise Damrosch on the Future of Portland Arts - 4:19In the seventeen years that Eloise Damrosch was at the helm of the Regional Arts and Culture Council, she had a 10,000-foot view of the seismic changes in the city’s arts scene. She retired in 2017, paving the way for an executive search, now in its eighth month. It’s clear that the task ahead for the next generation of arts leaders is a heavy lift. Damrosch joined us this week to talk about her time at RACC and about this list of ideas on preserving creative space from commissioners Nick Fish and Chloe Eudaly.Live opbmusic Session with Typhoon - 11:49The band Typhoon is back this week with "Offerings," another record of songs made with finesse and ferocity. But this new release finds frontman and songwriter Kyle Morton going to strange and dark places, as it imagines one man’s descent into memory loss and madness. With as many as eleven musicians, this band has never lacked for ambition, but the high-concept music in “Offerings” raises the bar. The Silent Film Classic "The Passion of Joan of Arc" Gets a Soaring Live Soundtrack - 25:10For years, one of the worlds greatest films was thought lost, only to be discovered in a custodial closet in Norway. Carl Dreyer’s 1928 silent film, “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” will be screened at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Jan. 26 in a most unique way: Portland Youth Philharmonic’s chamber orchestra will perform Richard Einhorn’s oratorio “Voices of Light” live to accompany the film, along with a slew of soloists and vocal ensembles including the female vocal ensemble In Mulieribus and three Portland State University choirs. We spoke with the composer Richard Einhorn and PYP's musical director David Hattner, who conducted a similar production in New York City in 2006 to glowing reviews. The "New York Times" asked whether it was Einhorn's "Voices of Light" that accompanied the film, or the film that accompanied the music?Musician Laura Veirs on Her Children's Book and New Podcast - 35:08In 2018, Portland singer-songwriter Laura Veirs puts down her guitar and picks up the interview mike for a new podcast, "Midnight Lightning," where she talks to musician moms, charting all the insane things they do to keep their careers and families on track. From rootsy pickers to funk rockers, there’s one thing they all have in common, she says: “Guilt. That was the main thing everyone said. They feel guilty. Especially the touring moms. And then gratitude. ‘I’m grateful I get to do this.’” Veirs also tells us about the children’s book she just published about an early folk singer, “Libba: The Magnificent Musical Life of Elizabeth Cotten.”Josh Ritter Plays Sisters - 44:46Singer-songwriter Josh Ritter is coming to Central Oregon for a concert at the Sisters Folk Festival Winter Concert Series on Jan. 23. The Idaho native’s a big get for them. In addition to his accomplishments as a musician, Ritter also wrote a "New York Times" best-selling novel in 2011, "Bright’s Passage," about a farm boy caught up in World War I. We listen back to a conversation and performance on OPB’s Think Out Loud the year the book came out.

Alice Gerrard, a living legend herself, wrote a song about another musical legend, Elizabeth Cotten, who she knew and whose conversation with her inspired this song, released on Alice's CD Bittersweet. As I listened to the CD this song moved me to attempt it on banjo and I've had the delight of learning more about these two amazing women. As the lyrics say, "And won't you sing to me as I take my leave, you're going to miss me when I'm gone."
