And while Justin Adams isn't authentic African, he's an interesting guitarist who made a more or less desert blues album. This is a good track because we are spared his vocals:- ^ HaHa ! I remember that album cover - when a friend of mine lent me the album, it took me about 3 days to summon up the courage to play it... And for this track, no spoiler, no description, no apologies; either you listen, or you miss out. It's up to you!

Gimme all the russian folk!
Well, y'know, I didn't want to brag or anything. I heartily approve! Wish Gaelic weren't so difficult to sing though.. This morning's rotation: The latter absolutely needs to be featured in some southern gothic horror film. |

Russian folk is usually not that interesting.
But Leonid Fedorov is gold. Although he's only partially rooted in folk, most of his stuff is experimental, jazzy and often rockish. Another great folkish one, this time solo.

Glad you liked the Mary Jane Lamond, Chiomara.
^ Well, this is really big! AFAIK, MB doesn't have any first-division celebrities posting here, so, as the husband of one, you are the next best thing, if you'll excuse me putting it that way. Any chance you can get your wife to mention MusicBanter in her next song? In the meantime, if I can think of a good rhyme with the word "Lisna" I'll let you know, ok? Quote:

I'll see what I can do! It's hard work being an imaginary wife, ya know.
Oh, yes I'm quite fond of the alt-country (I regret not seeing O'Death when they came to Baton Rouge) and folksy-cabaret genre-- well, that one to a lesser extent. I wonder if Rasputina's still around.. I just realized it's in fact Mary Jane Lamond who sings this version of "Ba Mo Leanabh" that I have on my spotify! One of the loveliest versions I've heard. (Though the story behind the lullaby is quite sad) Anyone like Warsaw Village Band? They're Polish. I always get the vague sense that I'm perhaps about to be murdered when I listen to them, which is always a good sign, I'd say: |

^ Wow! That is just a fabulous recommendation - best new music I've heard for ages! I've just downloaded a bunch of tracks from their album. Thank you so much.
I'd like to offer something of equal quality, but most of my ideas have been covered here already:- http://www.musicbanter.com/avant-gar...r-s-guide.html

Glad you liked it! I've been trying to find more lively, jaunty folk lately. (As opposed to the soft dreamy sort that seems to be more prevalent. Oh, but speaking of which, there's this group called Arborea that's actually done some lovely covers of Tim Buckley songs and the like.)
Wonderful thread you linked; the videos in that first post are all fantastic (I'll post in it later for sure!) I do wish that sub-forum was more active, since it seems everyone who posts in it has excellent taste. And now I'll share this-- it's not folk per se but seeing as she was Nick Drake's mother, I feel it counts: ..and some John Jacob Niles, too: (apologies if I've posted that already) |
