In deze aflevering vervolgen we het fascinerende verhaal van de legendarische blueszanger Leadbelly. Na zijn breuk met John Lomax keerde hij met zijn vrouw Martha terug naar huis, teleurgesteld over de financiële uitbuiting die hij had ervaren. Ondanks racistische obstakels en ongelijke behandeling, bleef Leadbelly doorzetten en wist hij een indrukwekkende muzikale erfenis op te bouwen. De aflevering volgt zijn levensloop, van zijn strijd voor erkenning tot zijn latere jaren toen hij kampte met de neurologische ziekte ALS. Hoewel Leadbelly in 1949 overleed, bloeide zijn invloed pas echt op tijdens de folk revival die volgde. Zijn nummers als "Goodnight Irene", "Rock Island Line" en "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" werden klassiekers, gecoverd door artiesten als The Weavers, Lonnie Donegan en zelfs Nirvana. Deze aflevering belicht hoe Leadbelly's muzikale nalatenschap de Amerikaanse cultuur diepgaand heeft beïnvloed en tot op de dag van vandaag doorwerkt in verschillende muziekgenres.Voor deze aflevering van de podcast heb ik me voornamelijk gebaseerd op het boek “The Life and Legend of Leadbelly”, geschreven door Charles Wolf.Vind je deze podcast inspirerend en leerrijk?

Steven and Ian start today's episode with an in-depth critical analysis of one of the hottest songs in pop right now, Ice Spice's "Think U The Shit (Fart)." Probably too in-depth, really. But the song is truly a rich text. From there they do the inevitable Sportscast on this weekend's Super Bowl game. Anyone who gets their sports news from indie rock podcasts will want to hear Steven and Ian's predictions (6:51). They also wonder how the brewing Taylor Swift backlash (if such a thing exists) might karmically affect the outcome. In the fantasy draft update, Ian marvels at the performance of the new Brittany Howard solo album and Steven wonders whether the controversy over Mannequin Pussy's recent AI-assisted video will impact his team (15:02).Next is a conversation about 2000s era indie folk spurred by new music this week from The Decemberists and Iron And Wine (23:10). Are the guys yay or nay on these acts? They also talk about a recent article outlining the behind-the-scenes fallout from the Pitchfork layoffs (34:17).

The untold story of Chicago's pivotal role as a country and folk music capital. Chicago is revered as a musical breeding ground, having launched major figures like blues legend Muddy Waters, gospel soul icon Mavis Staples, hip-hop firebrand Kanye West, and the jazz-rock band that shares its name with the city. Far less known, however, is the vital role Chicago played in the rise of prewar country music, the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, and the contemporary offspring of those scenes. In Country and Midwestern: Chicago in the History of Country Music and the Folk Revival (U Chicago Press, 2023), veteran journalist Mark Guarino tells the epic century-long story of Chicago's influence on sounds typically associated with regions further south. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and deep archival research, Guarino tells a forgotten story of music, migration, and the ways that rural culture infiltrated urban communities through the radio, the automobile, and the railroad. The Midwest's biggest city was the place where rural transplants could reinvent themselves and shape their music for the new commercial possibilities the city offered. Years before Nashville emerged as the commercial and spiritual center of country music, major record labels made Chicago their home and recorded legendary figures like Bill Monroe, The Carter Family, and Gene Autry. The National Barn Dance--broadcast from the city's South Loop starting in 1924--flourished for two decades as the premier country radio show before the Grand Ole Opry. Guarino chronicles the makeshift niche scenes like "Hillbilly Heaven" in Uptown, where thousands of relocated Southerners created their own hardscrabble honky-tonk subculture, as well as the 1960s rise of the Old Town School of Folk Music, which eventually brought national attention to local luminaries like John Prine and Steve Goodman. The story continues through the end of the twentieth century and into the present day, where artists like Jon Langford, The Handsome Family, and Wilco meld contemporary experimentation with country traditions. Featuring a foreword from Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks and casting a cross-genre net that stretches from Bob Dylan to punk rock, Country and Midwestern rediscovers a history as sprawling as the Windy City--celebrating the creative spirit that modernized American folk idioms, the colorful characters who took them into new terrain, and the music itself, which is still kicking down doors even today. Mark Guarino covers national news and culture from Chicago for the Washington Post, ABC News, the New York Times, and other outlets.

The untold story of Chicago's pivotal role as a country and folk music capital. Chicago is revered as a musical breeding ground, having launched major figures like blues legend Muddy Waters, gospel soul icon Mavis Staples, hip-hop firebrand Kanye West, and the jazz-rock band that shares its name with the city. Far less known, however, is the vital role Chicago played in the rise of prewar country music, the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, and the contemporary offspring of those scenes. In Country and Midwestern: Chicago in the History of Country Music and the Folk Revival (U Chicago Press, 2023), veteran journalist Mark Guarino tells the epic century-long story of Chicago's influence on sounds typically associated with regions further south. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and deep archival research, Guarino tells a forgotten story of music, migration, and the ways that rural culture infiltrated urban communities through the radio, the automobile, and the railroad. The Midwest's biggest city was the place where rural transplants could reinvent themselves and shape their music for the new commercial possibilities the city offered. Years before Nashville emerged as the commercial and spiritual center of country music, major record labels made Chicago their home and recorded legendary figures like Bill Monroe, The Carter Family, and Gene Autry. The National Barn Dance--broadcast from the city's South Loop starting in 1924--flourished for two decades as the premier country radio show before the Grand Ole Opry. Guarino chronicles the makeshift niche scenes like "Hillbilly Heaven" in Uptown, where thousands of relocated Southerners created their own hardscrabble honky-tonk subculture, as well as the 1960s rise of the Old Town School of Folk Music, which eventually brought national attention to local luminaries like John Prine and Steve Goodman. The story continues through the end of the twentieth century and into the present day, where artists like Jon Langford, The Handsome Family, and Wilco meld contemporary experimentation with country traditions. Featuring a foreword from Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks and casting a cross-genre net that stretches from Bob Dylan to punk rock, Country and Midwestern rediscovers a history as sprawling as the Windy City--celebrating the creative spirit that modernized American folk idioms, the colorful characters who took them into new terrain, and the music itself, which is still kicking down doors even today.

Dave Cantor is a 20+ industry veteran in the natural food space. His journey began in the Midwest, where he developed a passion for food, sustainability, and gardening during his college years. After honing his cooking skills and pursuing his interests in farming, Dave eventually ended up running his own organic farm in New Mexico. He later furthered his education by obtaining a Master's degree in nutrition with a focus on food and agriculture policy. Dave discusses the inspiration behind his new brand, Folk Revival and offers up some solid takeaways from his many years in the trenches launching "better for you" brands with larger companies. He delves into topics like product development, marketing strategies, and the crowdfunding decision, and listeners will gain valuable, hard-earned insights into the world of nutrition startups. Regarding the name of the brand, Cantor is a self-described 'music nerd' and states, "The 'folk' really speaks to the the people part, the human nutrition, the functional nutrition, and 'revival' speaks to the heirloom and heritage ingredients, which is really what we're trying to do . . . it's the mission of the brand to to deliver real, functional nutrition by reviving heirloom and heritage ingredients." Key themes discussed 1. Crowdfunding: Funding method for expanding business. 2. Product Development: Creation of unique, nutrition-focused food products. 3. Marketing Strategy: Utilizing partnerships and grassroots marketing for product reach. 4. Industry Experience: 20 years in natural foods and corporate marketing. 5. Retail Selling Cycle: Long sales cycle for retail and food service markets. 6. Strategic Partnerships: Collaborative hiring and strategic investment decisions. 7. Brand Positioning: Differentiating product based on health, sustainability, and pricing. A few key takeaways: 1. Cantor has extensive experience in the natural foods industry, with a background in marketing, innovation, and sustainability, and has previously worked with well-known brands such as Mars and KIND Bar. 2. His latest venture, Folk Revival, focuses on creating functional nutrition products, such as a hot cereal using acorns and other heirloom and heritage ingredients, with a mission of delivering real functional nutrition by helping to revive these ingredients.  3. A major highlight of Folk Revival's product is its focus on high protein and low carb content, catering to consumers wanting to eat clean, or who are following keto, Paleo, and gluten-free diets. The product is positioned as a healthier alternative and will be priced slightly higher than regular oatmeal to reflect its higher nutritional value. 4. Dave emphasizes the importance of efficient use of marketing spend, highlighting the power of in-store promotions and targeting specific avenues like music festivals and events that align with the brand's focus on the HALO sector. 5. The podcast also discusses Dave's decision to leverage crowdfunding as a means to raise capital for Folk Revival, explaining the benefits and challenges associated with this fundraising method, which aligns with the brand's ethos of involving consumers in their growth and success.

Serious question…have you ever seen an overweight squirrel? Yeah…me either, and I saw tons of them at Kent State University where the black squirrel is an unofficial mascot. Maybe us humans should be looking at those cute…I wish I had one as a pet, squirrels as our spirit animals for weight management. They do the basics everyday…exercise, sun exposure, and nutritionally dense meals full of acorns. Not interested in that latter part…heck I didn't even know humans could eat acorns until I discovered a new instant hot breakfast cereal brand Folk Revival that's using acorn flour. Being that it's gluten-free, wheat-free, and packed with key nutrients, let's hope that my black squirrel college friends will have enough to eat if acorn flour takes off in the functional CPG space.

Maria Muldaur is best known world-wide for her 1974 mega-hit “Midnight at the Oasis,” which received several Grammy nominations, and enshrined her forever in the hearts of Baby Boomers everywhere; but despite her considerable pop music success, her 56-plus year career could best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music. During the Folk Revival of the early '60s, she began exploring and singing early Blues, Bluegrass and Appalachian “Old Timey” Music, beginning her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band and shortly thereafter, joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band, touring and recording with them throughout the '60s. In the 47 years since “Midnight at the Oasis,” Maria has toured extensively worldwide and has recorded 43 solo albums covering all kinds of American Roots Music, including Gospel, R&B, Jazz and Big Band (not to mention several award-winning children's albums). She has now settled comfortably into her favorite idiom, the Blues. Often joining forces with some of the top names in the business, Maria has recorded and produced on-average an album per year, several of which have been nominated for Grammys and other awards.

Ritorna “Note sulle note”, il programma musicale settimanale, nel quale annoto per voi piccoli appunti prima di lasciarvi ai brani scelti, che di puntata in puntata andiamo a conoscere. Questo è il nostro ventottesimo incontro, dedicato ai Cantautori Italiani, che abbiamo sviluppato in due puntate (o volumi) per trattare l'argomento con maggiore completezza, considerata l'abbondanza di artisti e canzoni. Nella puntata precedente abbiamo trattato la prima parte dei cantautori italiani: un granello di sabbia nel deserto, perché di puntate sul tema ce ne vorrebbero molte di più. In questa seconda parte riassumiamo brevissimamente l'argomento del Cantautore italiano, che dagli anni '60 portò temi e sonorità nuovi nel campo della canzone italiana. I Cantautori sono interpreti di brani scritti e musicati da loro stessi, dove i contenuti e le parole delle canzoni rivestono un'importanza essenziale. Dagli anni '70 la canzone d'autore ricevette nuovi impulsi dal Folk Revival statunitense e dai movimenti studenteschi di contestazione. Da non sottovalutare l'apparizione di testi più dediti alla sfera personale ed intima. Invece, a partire dall'ultimo decennio del secolo scorso la produzione dei Cantautori è stata caratterizzata da una accresciuta attenzione al momento stilistico musicale, anche se si possono ancora rinvenire Cantautori legati alla tradizione e al lavoro poetico sul testo. Ascolteremo: I treni di Tozeur (Franco Battiato), Minuetto(Franco Califano), Ricordati di me(Antonello Venditti), Diamante(Zucchero), Sincerità(Riccardo Cocciante), Ti amo(Umberto Tozzi), Mio fratello che guardi il mondo (Ivano Fossati), L'Isola che non c'è (Edoardo Bennato), Strada Facendo (Claudio Baglioni), Una canzone d'amore buttata via (Vasco Rossi).

Happy New Year and welcome to season two in the American Song podcast series!  It's been a bit since we last got together.  I hope you all are doing well.  In both the first and second folks waves, many of the musicians were heavily influenced by the times and events that lived in.  During the first folk revival, the most important social issues included the Great Depression, and the Oklahoma Dust Bowl.  In different ways, both of these catastrophes laid waste to the dreams and scrapped together  fortunes of the hard-working American people.  Overseas, political revolutions had overthrown ancient monarchies, the latest one being Russia's Romanov dynasty where powerful winds of change had driven the half starved and long-neglected Russian peasants to revolt, and whose actions were spurred on by ideologues like Marx and Lenin.  The second folk revival that started in the late 1950's and early 1960's was, again, another social movement bent on change, but this time, the causes were different.  The 1960's have been romanticized in a lot of ways.  It's difficult today to still feel the thrill, and electric charge of what Beatlemania must have been like, or to experience the ‘Us' versus ‘Them' pitched emotions that led to student riots and slain college students at Kent State, but they were very real.  Folk music was at the heart of it all.  Just like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie had demanded better treatment for workers, and economic assistance to America's poor, the second folk revival rallied people behind Civil Rights, Equal Rights for women, and an end to the war in Vietnam war.   A chorus of new musicians, were inspired by, and in turn inspired social change.  Brave young kids, like Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, Barry McGuire, and  Joan Baez – as well as a few old-timers from the first wave - gave voice to a new generation of Americans who dreamed of better things and better days.Welcome to season two in  the American Song Podcast series; today's episode, “The Second Folk Revival – A Passing of the Torch.”Featured Artists in this EpisodeBob DylanWoody Guthriethe Kingston TrioBill & Belle ReedJoan BaezSteve Allen and Jack KerouacBonnie DobsonSimon & GarfunkelMax Yasgur

Donald and Jackson are joined by historian Aaron J. Leonard, author of The Folk Singers and the Bureau: The FBI, The Folk Artists and the Suppression of the Communist Party USA 1939-1956, to discuss the folk-revival music scene that emerged within and around the American Communist Party in the mid-1930s and which continued through the early 1950s. We dive into the scene's relationship with the Party's changing strategy and platform, how Earl Browder related to this revival, the scene's institutional development in the late-1940s, as well as the suppression and surveillance of its leading members in the immediate post-WWII period and beyond.

Brendan Lamb is a musicology PhD candidate at the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Tasmania. Brendan notes in his thesis that the numerous folk music revivals of the twentieth century have been key turning points in popular music, grassroots phenomena that paradoxically drove the industry they often strove to defy. Whilst the North American and English folk revivals were highly popular and influential movements, neither had quite the impact on revitalising culture as the Irish folk music revival in Ireland. Performers such as The Dubliners, The Chieftains, Planxty and The Bothy Band combined old and new, foreign and familiar in their performances in such a way that they drove Irish folk and traditional music into a new evolutionary phase. This evolution, unlike its North American and British counterparts, fundamentally redefined the musical landscape within Ireland and spawned an international phenomenon in the Pub Session.Through studying the origins of this movement, Brendan highlights the complex relationship this period has had within the context of Irish traditional music and also evidenced the fundamental role the tradition played in this music’s performance. In analysing the recorded performances of these key ensembles and comparing their key musical elements to Irish music prior to the period, this thesis has identified the significant innovations and contributions to Irish music that these performers have provided.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=21685169)

Monique Byrne and Andy Rogovin perform original music and eye-opening covers that reflect a mutual passion, sense of discovery and celebration of life. Their tightly blended vocal harmonies are mixed with an expressive instrumental style that is best described as a banjo-guitar romance. Crowes Pasture's style of escapist folk transports and connects listeners through universal experiences in their “skillfully crafted, emotional songwriting” (Chris Eastburn, award-winning composer).In just four years time, Crowes Pasture has quickly been making waves with two EPs and three full-length albums. They have been featured on the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival Showcase Stage for four years running, performed at Club Passim, and were finalists in the 2019 and 2018 CT Folk Festival Competition. Their music has achieved airplay on over 70 stations nationwide and they've been featured on radio shows as far and wide as Tufts Freeform Radio in Boston to the national podcast, Sundilla Radio Hour. Crowes Pasture has an intimacy about their live performances. The romantic clawhammer banjo playing by Monique and expressive guitar picking by Andy are enlivened by their personal chemistry and emotionally expressive vocals. Nick Noble, host of “The Folk Revival” on WICN-FM, has praised the duo for their “lovely harmonies and a passionate approach to musical performance.”
