![]() 0133 Magdalith – Magdalith (France, 1974, avant-folk) ![]() Weird. This is coming up in the ADC soon. Anyway, I'll put a little something down here and expand on it next week in the Club. Magdalith has an amazing, unique voice, perfectly suited for avant-folk, for it equally frightens and excites. This is as freaky as vocals get, and I cannot help but think that we are getting only the slightest peek into the soul of a woman scarred by the Holocaust and enamored of the Eucharist. The vocals set the piano on fire. |

![]() 0134 Supersister – Present From Nancy (Netherlands, 1970, progressive rock / Canterbury scene) ![]() This is an incredible debut. They’ve got a great sound, like they’ve been playing together for a while. As always with the Canterbury scene, this band couches humor in complexity. |

![]() 0135 Зейнаб Ханларова (Zeynəb Khanlarova) - Поет Зейнаб Ханларова. Азербайджанские песни (Azerbaijan, 1978, Azerbaijani traditional / folk pop) ![]() This album was recorded in Turkey, her only album to be done outside the USSR. This is one of those obscure—for Western listeners—non-English language folk albums I’ve run across in my musical sojourn. This album always sends me to investigating what traditional Azerbaijani instruments, if any, I can hear on this album. I fear fiddles and drums, so I wonder if they are the kamancha and the gosha nagara. (Sorry, no listening link available.) |

![]() 0136 Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison (USA, 1968, country) ![]() I feel like I’m sitting right there in the prison with the guys watching the show—the most heartfelt, candid show I’ve ever heard. Not only is Cash an unparalleled storyteller, he’s really got a heart for the prisoners he’s playing for. I really like how the guys applaud, letting me know exactly what lyrics or licks best tickle the imprisoned listeners. The music rollicks along, but there are quite chilling moments, too, like when the voice announces normal prison business over the PA. Whenever I finish listening to this album, I have mixed feelings: I go on with my life, but those guys all go back to their cells. |

"The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife" *laughter and raucous applause*

![]() 0137 Daniel Rossen – Silent Hour / Golden Mile (USA, 2012, indie folk) ![]() This is an excellent EP of indie folk. I know this guy's other work with Grizzly Bear, but that stuff is just all right for me. This EP, however, is much more engaging. A darling, warm little EP. |
