Emily Saliers on Joan Baez, Michigan Womyn's Festival, and her someday solo album

After a spring full of their own shows, collaborating with various symphony orchestras, plotting their next album (due sometime in 2014), and working on separate solo projects, the Indigo Girls are hitting the road with Joan Baez this month. The string of performances is sure to be an incredible showcase, considering Baez's remarkable career both in folk music and activism - a torch the Indigos have carried smartly and strongly throughout their careers.

For example, this…

"Clawhammer sounds like a Kama Sutra position" - Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers with Edie Brickell live in St. Augustine, FL

Once upon a time, I bought an Edie Brickell album from a used record store at a flea market in Orlando. The disc, A Picture Perfect Morning, had come out a few years earlier, on the heels of her two big pop hit albums Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars and Ghost of a Dog, back when grunge and riot grrrls were happening on one end of the spectrum and Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul were happening on the other. 

Edie Brickell was a puzzle to me. Cowboy…

All about me

I'm writing a book about Zilphia Horton - the small-town Tennessee music teacher from the 1930s-'50s who influenced Pete Seeger and Rosa Parks, fueled the labor and civil rights movements with music, and gave us universal anthems of empowerment like "This Little Light of Mine" and "We Shall Overcome."  Learn more.


After studying classical music my whole life, I spent eight or nine years moving around the country, hopping from music scene to music scene, touring, and trying to make a living as a singer-songwriter. Then, in 2003, after a very long and fascinating ride on a Greyhound bus, I moved to Seattle and decided to try writing about the music I play and have grown to love.

In addition to managing this community site for No Depression, I'm the About.com Guide to Folk Music. I was, from Feb-Oct 2008, Editor of Seattlest. My work has appeared in Billboard, at Rollingstone.com, NPR.org, in Seattle and CityArts magazines, The Mountain XPress, and a handful of other publications.

If anything on this site seems out of wack, confusing, wrong, or missing, please let me know. And, if you have any ideas about how we can make this community better, I'm always open to those.

Hey Kim,

Watched the video-got me cryin' in the damn library....

It's really a sad day. So many passings...every week it seems. This one hurts.

I saw Levon with the (post-Robbie) Band two or three times...also saw him with some version of the RCO All-Stars in the 70's.

The last time I saw him was with the little blues band he had before he was singing again-rockin' blues band! They came out here to the West Coast, and I also got to meet him that night. So many times you meet your 'heroes' and you wish you hadn't. Not so with Levon.

He was the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and authentic soul. I had my picture taken with him that night and hoped one day to have it autographed. So much for that.

I so badly wish I could've seen one of the Barn Dances, but wrong coast, wrong time...

He's gone from us too soon, and the universe is mourning.

Peace,

Kurt Mahoney

Hi Kim

 

      As a featured contributor to No Depression, I’m particularly keen on getting your feedback for the following – Please forgive the intrusion if you don’t have the time or inclination to reply.

 

      I’ve posted the following to the No Depression discussion board – you can either respond there or alternatively drop me a line at shatchsurvey1@yahoo.co.uk

 

Thanks very much for your time

Kind regards,

Steve

 

 

 

My name is Steve Hatch and I’m currently conducting research for my Master’s in Songwriting at Bath Spa University in Bath, England (though I happen to be an ex-pat Georgia boy).  I would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to listen to the track (link below) and answer the 2 accompanying questions.  The more detail, the better of course (more to say in my final analysis) – but all feedback will be useful and very much appreciated.

 

Sadly, as this is an academic pursuit, there is a deadline.  Please reply by May 20th if at all possible so that I can have time to chew over your response and include it in my final write-up.

 

            The track: http://soundcloud.com/stevehatch

 

1)     Which artist/band(s) would you say the track is most similar to and why?

 

2)     Which genre(s) would you say the track belongs to and why?

"If I were to trace the genealogy of the country music Outlaw, it would start with Bobby Bare, roll through Willie & Waylon and that whole gang, follow Cash through the late 90′s, and end up in the country music underground with people like Peewee Moore as possibly the perfect example of the Outlaw lineage in the present day"
