There has been a decline in union representation over the decades across the U.S. Recently labor movements have regained some ground and are in the news nationally once again. This makes Labor Day more important than ever as we celebrate leaders who helped organize and provide for a better standard of living for American workers. We'll hear music used over the years that's often been intertwined with the labor movement. Listen for Paul Robeson, Hazel Dickens, the Seattle Labor Chorus, Florence Reese, Joe Glazer and others.

Pero todas tienen un nexo común: son versiones de temas atemporales desde las más diversas y eclácticas formas de la música popular. De esta forma, escuchamos a Ward Hayden cantando a Springsteen, Town Moauntain saboreando los sonidos de Dire Straits, Jaelee Roberts llevando al bluegrass a Stealers Wheel o Della Mae dejándose seducir por Blind Melon. Además, Bella White se entrega a Lucind Williams, The Cartlellows lo hace a Emmylou Harris y Kelsey Waldon lo hace a Hazel Dickens y Alice Gerrard con la ayuda de S.G. Goodman. Rising Apalachia se sumerge en uno de los grande clásicos de Dylan, mientras Margo Price junto a Mike Campbell o Steve Earle rinden homenaje a Tom Petty. La nueva gira de Hootie & The Blowfish nos permite resucitar a Buffalo Springfield y hasta Flatland Cavalry se han inclinado ante la categoría de Fleetwood Mac.

Send us a Text Message.Irene Kelley's love of music has been imbued in her memory practically from the very beginning. She became wholly entranced by it while hearing it for the first time in her dad's basement TV repair workshop as a young girl. After hearing it around the house, the music became so imbued in her that she began writing music early on and joined her first band at the age of 15.In 1981, she made her big career leap when she was invited to join the bluegrass band Redwing as lead singer. She soon found herself performing at any number of major festivals and gaining major traction in the process. Her move to Nashville in 1984 added increased momentum and she was soon signed to MCA Nashville for whom she recorded her first album which also featured an all-star line-up in the persons of Sam Bush, Carl Jackson and Mark O'Connor. She also found success as a songwriter, penning songs for the likes Alan Jackson, Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White, Loretta Lynn and Trisha Yearwood. Nevertheless, despite her accomplishments, her devotion to the basics of bluegrass remained first and foremost. With early influences that include Jean Ritchie, Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, Rodney Crowell, Pete Goble, Greg Allman, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn.These days, Irene is carrying the torch forward, not only through her own efforts, but that of her daughters as well, all of whom joined her for her recent holiday LP Kelley Family Christmas.My Backstage Pass recently had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Kelley in a sit-down face to face interview which found her sharing her musical journey and her fervent belief in bluegrass past and present.

Bluegrass hero and former weird kid Alice Gerrard strongly believes that traditional music is connected to everyday life. She has said: “When you listen to traditional music you have such a sense of this connectedness of this person's life. It comes out of the earth.” She was first exposed to folk music while attending Antioch College. Jeremy Foster (her boyfriend at the time, who would become her first husband) introduced her to The Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music. Upon listening, she became hooked and more drawn to lonesome and rough folk songs versus the pristine vocalists. That mentality of keeping her performance untarnished and imperfect has followed her ever since.After she and Jeremy moved to Washington DC, she became acquainted with Hazel Dickens. She considered Hazel a mentor figure and studied her musicality. The two would record four albums together as the seminal duo Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. The two did not speak for many years after they split in the late 70's. The breakup was messy and hard for both, particularly Hazel. Years later, they reconciled and would perform and were close until Hazel's death in 2011. Nowadays, Alice, who lives in Durham, NC, has begun digitizing her huge photo archive for a book as well as performing with the younger generation of traditional music. People like Tatiana Hargreaves, Reed Stutz and Phil Cook are regulars on her stage. They also contribute to her new album Sun to Sun. Alice digs in talking about her unorthodox parenting style (which is no secret), imperfectionism, appreciating memory and the fantastic new record.

Singer-Songwriter James Talley: Making it in Country Music #108

James Talley is an Oklahoma born folk-country-blues singer/songwriter, whose career now spans over forty years. His name has been mentioned alongside Woody Guthrie, Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan, and praised for the quality of his songwriting and his wise, expressive voice. Noted author and music critic, Peter Guralnick has said of James' work, “There are few singer-songwriters who could produce a collection of such magnitude coupled at the same time with such lightness, beauty, and all-out social conscience. Woody Guthrie never wrote a more direct or affecting song than “Richland, Washington”; Bruce Springsteen never wrote a more powerful one than “Tryin' Like the Devil.”Upon moving to Nashville, James discovered that the commercial music business was not attuned to the kind of honesty he wrote about in his songs, so he went to New York to meet the late John Hammond, who became his first mentor. Hammond championed the unique vision in his writing in the early 1970s as he had the careers of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen.Hammond, however, could not convince Columbia in New York to sign James' more country-flavored sound, so he sent him to his friend Jerry Wexler, whose Atlantic Records was starting a new Country division in Nashville at the time. Wexler signed James to his first recording contract at Atlantic Records in 1972 along with Doug Sahm and Willie Nelson. Atlantic's Nashville operation, however, did not do well at the time and Atlantic closed its Nashville office. James then moved to Capitol Records where he released four now legendary albums during the mid-1970s: Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got a Lot of Love (1975); Tryin' Like The Devil (1976); Blackjack Choir (1977) and Ain't It Somthin' (1977). ROLLING STONE, and other music publications, have declared these albums American classics.James performed twice at The White House for President Jimmy Carter, and at the Smithsonian Institution, and in other concert venues around the United States and in Europe. B.B. King played guitar on James third album, Blackjack Choir, in 1976, marking the first time the legendary bluesman had ever recorded in Nashville. Johnny Cash, Johnny Paycheck, Alan Jackson, Hazel Dickens, the late Gene Clark, and most recently Moby, among others, have recorded his songs.Music author David McGee has called James Talley's work startlingly original. Legendary music producer, Jerry Wexler, who remained friends with James until his death, said, “You remain for me one of America's greatest songwriters.” CMT columnist, Chet Flippo, called him “one of the best singer-songwriters to ever come out of Nashville.”James is a life member of Nashville Local 257, American Federation of Musicians, and is a board member of the Nashville American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. He and Janice spend their time now between their home near Santa Fe, NM and Nashville. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast.

On this week's show (originally posted 5/13/2018): Labor historian Joe McCartin discusses the 1938 U.S. Supreme Court's Mackay decision, which permits the permanent replacement of striking workers; Joe says this obscure decision was in fact a “ticking time bomb” that would go off to devastating effect more than 40 years later, when Ronald Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981, giving employers across the country a green light for union-busting. PLUS: Joe Hower on how Jerry Wurf built AFSCME into one of the most powerful unions in America, Lane Windham on the first union of public library workers, and Saul Schniderman and David Fernandez on the Matewan Massacre. Chris Bangert-Drowns even manages to sneak in baseball's first labor strike, when the 1912 Detroit Tigers refused to play after team leader Ty Cobb was suspended.

Hazel Dickens (1935-2011) used her voice — and her guitar — to fight against abuse of the working class. Though she evolved into a leading figure in folk music, she never abandoned her blue collar roots. This month, we're highlighting Ragers: women who used their anger— often righteous, though not always— to accomplish extraordinary things. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.

Alice was also part of the group that started Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine in 1966 and she later was the founder of the Old Time Herald. During the interview we talk about her music career starting in the 1950s all the way up to the present day.

Dozens of musicians been members of The 1937 Flood of Huntington, WV, over the years since it stumbled into existence back in the hippy-dippy mid 1970s. As writer Dave Lavender of the Herald-Dispatch has noted, "The Flood doesn't rest on its laurels as West Virginia's most eclectic string band. Born in the 1970s when fiddler Joe Dobbs met Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen, the Flood has played recent gigs with everyone from the Huntington Symphony Orchestra to Marshall University tailgate parties. The band, which also features Doug Chaffin, Sam St. Clair, Michelle Walker and Randy Hamilton, plays everything from folk classics of John Prine and Bob Dylan to the blues of Mississippi John Hurt. "Throw in some Dixieland jazz, some Irish fiddle tunes, a great sense of humor, some pure mountain melodies from the likes of such state treasured songwriters as Hazel Dickens and yes by God, the best kazoo playing between here and say Kalamazoo, and you got the 1937 Flood," adds Lavender.

We're kicking off the month of December being joined by singer-songwriter Kelsey Waldon. The Kentucky songwriter released They'll Never Keep Us Down, a seven-song collection of covers just two weeks ago. With songs such as Kris Kristofferson's "The Law is for Protection of the People," Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side," and the Hazel Dickens title track, Waldon offers songs that are just as emotionally charged as they are statements about humanity, equality, and freedom. She shines brightest on the likes of the anti-war and pro-veteran storyteller "Sam Stone," written by mentor and friend, the late John Prine, and delivers one of the year's most poignant moments. Another stellar standout is the Nina Simone standard "Mississippi Goddam" where she's joined by fellow country artists Adia Victoria and Kyshona Armstrong. During this interview, we talk about They'll Never Keep Us Down, the last year--both on a macro and micro level--Waldon's Kentucky home and roots, songwriting and storytelling, country music dialogues and conversations, and much more.This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol.

Hoy queremos volver a señalar que el tema instrumental que abre y cierre cada uno de nuestros programas fue un regalo exclusivo de un gran amigo como Tony Luz, pionero del rock ‘n’ roll en España. Él fue autor e intérprete único de la sintonía de TOMA UNO. Y Tony Luz murió hace exactamente tres años, por lo que queremos compartir con vosotros lo mucho que le echamos de menos desde entonces. El 29 de noviembre de 1975, hace exactamente 45 años, Neil Young grabó "Like a Hurricane" en el Broken Arrow Ranch in Woodside, California, aunque no saldría a la luz hasta dos años más tarde, cuando se editó en single y formó parte del álbum American Stars 'n Bars. El noveno de los 10 discos que componen el segundo volumen de sus Neil Young Archives recién publicado, se abre con aquella canción que el canadiense compuso en la parte trasera de un DeSoto Suburban, el coche de finales de los años 40 que pertenecía a su vecino Taylor Phelps en La Honda, un pequeño pueblo del condado de San Mateo, en California. Por entonces se estaba recuperando de una operación en las cuerdas vocales que le impedían cantar y toda su energía la expresaba a través de la guitarra. Cubriendo tan solo cuatro años de su carrera, de 1972 a 1976, en el segundo volumen de su entrega de archivos personales, Neil Young se fija en la que todos consideramos su etapa más prolífica, e incluye 12 canciones nunca lanzadas en ningún formato, mientras que 50 son versiones inéditas de canciones conocidas. Entre los temas no publicados hasta ahora encontramos esta grabación junto a su paisana Joni Mitchell, que el 26 de agosto de 1973, llegó al Studio Instrument Rentals de Los Ángeles, donde Neil Young estaba sacando adelante Tonight’s the Night junto a los guitarristas Ben Keith y Nils Lofgren, el batería Ralph Molina y el bajista Billy Talbot. Es decir los Santa Monica Flyers. En aquel estudio surgió una versión desconocida hasta ahora de “Raised on Robbery”, la conversación de una prostituta que intenta ligar con un hombre solitario en un hotel, sin éxito. Al año siguiente sería el single de anticipo del álbum Court and Spark de la también artista canadiense. Kindred Spirits es uno de los discos de versiones más interesantes que hemos escuchado en mucho tiempo. Larkin Poe, sus protagonistas, han utilizado la variedad de estilos elegidos para moverse por una variedad de amplios espacios sonoros que abarca desde Robert Johnson a Post Malone, pasando por Lenny Kravitz, Allman Brothers, Elvis Presley, Elton John, los Moody Blues, Derek And The Dominos y Neil Young. En este último caso, las hermanas Lovell han elegido “Rockin’ In The Free World”, una canción que partió de una frase de Frank Sampedro cuando pensaban hacer un concierto en la Unión Soviética en 1989 y que formó parte en su álbum Freedom, con dos versiones, una eléctrica y otra acústica al estilo de “Hey Hey My My” en Rust Never Sleep. Hablaba de George Bush padre, del Ayatollah Khomeini y de Jesse Jackson. Cuando Trump se presentó a las elecciones en 2016 utilizó la canción contra la voluntad del canadiense. Kelsey Waldon fue el único fichaje en vida de John Prine de su sello Oh Boy!, por deseo expreso de su dueño, el fallecido músico de Illinois a causa del COVID-19. Nativa de Monkey’s Eyebrow, en Kentucky, tiene una extraordinaria capacidad para componer canciones muy personales que abarcan las más distintas facetas de la condición humana desde su visión como sureña de un país como el suyo. Es por eso que los derechos humanos se han convertido en uno de los focos de su último EP, They’ll Never Keep Us Down, donde canta sobre la injusticia racial o las condiciones laborales de los mineros del carbón de su tierra natal. Para ello se ha acogido a siete canciones de músicos tan dispares como Nina Simone, Hazel Dickens, Bob Dylan, Neil Young o Kristofferson. Su versión de "I Wish I Knew How It would Feel to Be Free", un tema que se convirtió en himno en pro de los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos durante los años 60 y que Nina Simone hizo muy popular en el 67, ha contado con Devon Gilfillian en el apoyo vocal. El pasado jueves 12, Lucinda Williams hizo público el segundo de los seis conciertos temáticos que ha grabado con el título de Lu's Jukebox en apoyo de promotores y salas de conciertos y que irá distribuyendo hasta finales de año. Esta vez se trataba de Southern Soul From Memphis To Muscle Shoals And More, con una selección de 10 versiones e canciones de rhythm and blues y una de cierre que suponía recordar su álbum Car Wheels on a Gravel Road gracias a “Still I Long for Your Kiss”. Lucinda recordó a Brook Benton, Ann Pebbles, Etta James, Al Green, Otis Redding, Bobby Gentry o Joe South entre otros y, por supuesto, no olvidó a Barbara Lynn, cuyo “You’ll Lose a Good Thing” de 1962 también cantó Aretha Franklin e incluso fue versionada por Freddy Fender en el 1976, llevándola al No.1 de las listas de country. La canción que anticipó el último álbum de Lucinda Williams, Good Souls Better Angels, fue "Man Without A Soul", tres años después de que revisara aquel Sweet Old World de 1992. En ese registro se dedicó a abordar los problemas que les son más cercanos y, por supuesto, no ha podido obviar las cuestiones políticas, un terreno en el que, además, entró en profundidad. Hablamos de un disco con evidentes tintes de blues, elementos de rock y un poderoso protagonismo de la guitarra de Stuart Mathis. Ahora esa canción ha obtenido una nominación al premio Grammy a la mejor canción de raíz Americana, compartido con su marido, Tom Overby, que compuso el tema con ella. Desde Carolina del Sur, el guitarrista Marcus King se ha convertido en una de las grandes realidades de la música Americana con acento sureño. Ahora al lado del productor Dan Auerbach, ha conseguido precisamente la nominación al mejor álbum de Americana con El Dorado, el primero de sus álbumes como solista tras su etapa como cabeza visible de la Marcus King Band. Un disco que incluye piezas tan rotundas como “The Well”, compuesta por él, Auerbach y Ronnie Bowman, que sirvió en su momento como primera escucha del trabajo con un impactante trabajo a la guitarra. Acaba de cumplir 28 años y Billy Strings, que recibió el apodo de su tía, se ha convertido en un instrumentista con una envidiable habilidad para interpretar las distintas formas en que se manifiesta el bluegrass. Este joven músico de Lansing, en el estado de Michigan, es la gran realidad de un género muy revitalizado en este siglo XXI. Home, su último álbum, aspira a llevarse un Grammy como mejor álbum de bluegrass, un regalo sonoro impregnado de miradas al pasado que recuerdan a las jam bands, y también a los grandes del jazz o del bluegrass.

Si la Country Music Association se olvidó mencionar a John Prine en su última gala de entrega de premios, la Academia de la Música no lo ha hecho y ha nominado al Grammy al artista como mejor interpretación de Americana del año por “I Remember Everything”, la última canción grabada por el mítico artista que nos arrebató el Covid-19 el pasado mes de abril. Competirá también con Lucinda Williams y su marido para lograr ser la mejor canción de raíz Americana. "I Remember Everything" está compuesta por Prine y su buen amigo Pat McLaughlin, contando recuerdos del pasado que dejan una marca indeleble. En enero de 2018, la USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative publicó un estudio sobre la industria musical, señalando que la mujer necesitaba un mínimo de seis años para situarse al mismo nivel del hombre.

A lo largo de su carrera, Linda Ronstadt ha cantado temas de todos los estilos musicales imaginables, desde country a ópera y comedia musical, pasando por folk, rhythm'n'blues, rock'n'roll, pop o música latina. En todos los casos, su voz ha brillado tanto que se ha convertido en una de las vocalistas femeninas de mayor prestigio. Su segundo álbum en solitario, Silk Purse, cumplió esta primavera medio siglo desde su publicación, siendo recordado por canciones como “Long Long Time”, una balada exquisita que llegó a ser nominada a los premios Grammy y en el que hablaba de haber hecho todo lo posible por retener a su pareja. Ahora, 50 años después, la legendaria artista de Arizona ve como su documental Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice está nominada para llevarse el fonógrafo dorado como mejor película musical.

Now based in Nashville, this young, incredibly talented and much-awarded musician grew up in a musical household and tried a few different instruments, including fiddle, before realizing that guitar was the instrument that spoke most directly to her. By the time she was 11, she was making music with friends in the local pizza joint, and a few years after that, she started taking songwriting classes. That's where she learned about Bill Monroe, Hazel Dickens, Gillian Welch, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell and that's also where she started discovering her own voice as a songwriter.

The new Netflix documentary AMERICAN FACTORY is funnier than Barbara Kopple’s 1976 Oscar-winning documentary HARLAN COUNTY USA, and not nearly as fraught with violence, but it pivots on many of the same core tensions between workers and corporate bosses. In this half of our pairing of labor struggles past and present, we look back at HARLAN COUNTY to see how the time Kopple’s team spent embedded in Harlan County shaped the film, as well as the 1973 miners strike it depicts; how the film’s style reflects Kopple’s involvement with the Maysles brothers and direct cinema; and which of Harlan County’s colorful residents leave the biggest mark on the film. Plus, we respond to some feedback on recent episodes and go over some of the dozens of suggestions we got for 2019 pairings we received when we recently put the call out on Twitter.

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.

Episode 74: Kathy Mattea's new album Pretty Bird is her first release in six years. In the time between, she's struggled through some problems with her voice and in so doing reached outside of her musical comfort zones. After a couple of albums dedicated to exploring her Appalachian heritage, this one's more eclectic. She calls it a journey back to singing for the sheer joy of it. Mattea has always been a gifted interpreter from her younger days as a Music Row demo singer through her years as CMA Female Vocalist of the Year in 1989 and 90. Here she sings "Ode To Billie Joe," Bobbie Gentry's mesmerizing hit from 1967, and an old traditional Irish ballad and Mary Gauthier's new gospel Americana anthem "Mercy Now." But the title track, which closes the album, declares her continued allegiance to the old music of West Virginia. It's by Hazel Dickens, herself a WV Music Hall of Famer and one of the most influential and powerful women to ever work in folk and bluegrass music. She's a hero to Mattea and many others for her undiluted mountain sound and her down to earth feminism. Later in the show we're going to hear the late great Hazel Dickens on tape from a biographical interview.

This week on StoryWeb: Hod Pharis’s song “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing.” In honor of the first day of spring I first encountered Canadian songwriter Hod Pharis’s song “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing” on Pathway to West Virginia, the first album recorded by Ginny Hawker and Kay Justice. It was 1989, and my good friend Rolf had just returned from a road trip that had taken him through West Virginia. Rolf was the quintessential lover of old-time and early country music. He and his sister had been at a rest stop, and he asked about the music being played. The clerk said, “Oh, yes! Great album! Ginny Hawker and Kay Justice.” Rolf bought a cassette tape and brought it back to our group of grad school friends in Madison, Wisconsin. We were all entirely captivated and mesmerized by these two singers – such beautiful voices, exquisite but often unusual harmonies, Ginny’s Primitive Baptist cadence blending with Kay’s alto. “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing” quickly became our favorite cut from the album. Oh, how we loved the story of the young man who meets a girl in the hills. She sweetly steals his heart, and they plan to be married in the spring, which seems like it will never come. But eventually spring arrives, and their wedding is “just like a dream come true.” Such a lovely tale, such a sweet and joyous song. What was not to love? We were so inspired by the song, in fact, that we figured out how to play and sing it. I played my violin – which I was learning to play more like a fiddle and less like the classical violin I’d grown up playing in school. Bill played guitar. Deb, Rolf, and Wendy joined in on the singing, and we memorized the intricate lyrics. We finally had it all together and “performed” it on my screened-in, second-floor porch one summer day. When we finished, we were surprised to hear applause erupt from outside – my neighbors had enjoyed hearing our rendition. Within a couple of years, I had taken a job as an English professor in West Virginia and had met Ginny and Kay, both of whom I count among my beloved Appalachian friends. I love hearing them sing at festivals and in late-night jam sessions afterward. And of course, I love listening to their many recordings. Together, they’ve recorded Come All You Tenderhearted and Bristol: A Tribute to the Carter Family. Ginny appears with Hazel Dickens and Carol Elizabeth Jones on Heart of a Singer. She also recorded The Family Reunion: Three Generations of Southern Singing with her father, Ben Hawker, and her daughter, Heidi Christopher. Ginny has also recorded solo albums, Letters from My Father and After It’s Gone, frequently backed by her husband, fiddler Tracy Schwarz. Ginny and Tracy together have released two albums, Good Songs for Hard Times and Draw Closer. Next week, Kay will release Tear Down the Fences, recorded with bluegrass pioneer Alice Gerrard. The first cut is – wait for it! – “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing.” Though this will always be Ginny and Kay’s song to me, the composer is actually Alberta’s Hod Pharis, and the song – written in 1952 – has been recorded by numerous acts. Though Pharis recorded a couple of versions of the song in the 1950s, it did not become a hit until it was recorded in 1957 by The Browns (a trio comprised of Jim Ed Brown and his sisters, Maxine and Bonnie). The Browns took the song to number four on the U.S. Billboard country charts. After the song hit it big, many other acts recorded it, making it one of the most recorded songs written by a Canadian. Given its great success, “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing” was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015. Visit thestoryweb.com/pharis for links to all these resources and to get a taste of Ginny and Kay’s beautiful singing on a recording of “On the Rock Where Moses Stood.” You can also watch the Browns sing their chart-topping hit, “I Heard the Bluebirds Sing.” If you’ve been waiting for winter to end, you’ll enjoy this song about the joyous arrival of spring.

Joe Hill är arbetarsångaren som fälldes och avrättades för mord efter en riggad rättegång i USA. Men hans sånger lever. Det visar sig bl a i den turné Jan Hammarlund tar oss med på. Joe Hill föddes i Gävle 1879 och emigrerade till USA 1902. Han var närmast yrkeskvalificerad som musiker men drog sig fram som diversearbetare i USA, och anslöt sig så småningom till syndikalistiska IWW (Industrial Workers of the World). Han gjorde succé med sina sånger och blev en arbetarrörelsens frontfigur. 1914 åtalades han på praktiskt taget obefintliga grunder för ett dubbelmord i Salt Lake City, Utah. Den allmänna uppfattningen sedan dess har varit att han föll offer för en samvetslös komplott riktad mot arbetarrörelsen.Joe Hill avrättades 19 november 1915. Till 100-årsminnet av hans död har Jan Hammarlund rest runt med THE JOE HILL ROAD SHOW i trakterna runt Lake Michigan och berättar i programmet om hur arvet efter Joe lever vidare och utvecklas i USA och andra länder.I programmet medverkar: Alexis Buss, facklig aktivist och författare Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, facklig aktivist JP Wright, järnvägsarbetare och sångare Patty Allen, facklig aktivist Göran Greider, författare - samt artisterna: Anne Feeney, JP Wright, Bucky Halker, Lil Rev, Jason Eklund, Earl Robinson, Paul Robeson, Joan Baez, Mora Träsk, Billy Bragg, Pierre Ström, Manhattan Chorus, Hazel Dickens, Solidarity Singers, Finn Zetterholm, Massimo Liberatori, Enric Hernáez och Lovisa Samuelsson.

Our quiet hobo has been studying electronic music on Pandora and discovered a new genre called Minimalist Techno, so prepare yourself for longer, more subtle riffs. He does request that you listen with headphones to help induce a more trance-like state. Once in a trance he hopes to convince you that his music is wonderful and great and that you will become a cult follower of his podcast. The remaining pieces are simply filler noise and the cast ends with a memorable song by the late, great Hazel Dickens. Lets hear it for Hazel! Download

A bluegrass band in the tradition of Flatt and Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, and Hazel Dickens, the Oak Street Ramblers specialize in bluegrass stompers, classic country weepers, and originals that, lyrical content aside, wouldn't sound out of place at a barn dance circa 1954. http://www.reverbnation.com/theoakstreetramblers Video http://youtu.be/Sha-oQHGAl4
