Rockin’ Acoustic Circus – Lonestar Lullaby

So move over Old Crow Medicine Show, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Crooked Still and all you other Americana Bands because there’s some new kids in town! The other day while browsing the Roots Music Report I came across the name Rockin’ Acoustic Circus (RAC) and their new album Lonestar …

Top Folk 2010 – Favorite Artists

Ok, so there may be light at the end of the tunnel and it may not be a train coming in the other direction! The Christmas rush is over and things may settle down a little. I tried to start a Best of 2010 list and listed around 100 albums …

Twang – Part 1 – Blue Moon Rising!

So in the last couple of days I’ve been listening a couple of really good new albums with an older sound! First was the traditional sounding bluegrass band Blue Moon Rising and second the traditional Outlaw sounding Whitey Morgan and the 78s. Blue Moon Rising is a four man band …

Old Man Luedecke – Proof of Love

So a while back I wrote that I had listened to Old Man Luedecke’s 2008 release Proof of Love. While I liked that banjo playing and the vocals were ok, it wasn’t what I was looking for that day! Well, after hearing a few of his songs on shuffle and …

Folk Monday – John McCutcheon – Passage

Today as I looked down the Folk DJ Chart for November 2010, I spotted an artist, who falls into that group of artists that I should have be listening to but haven’t, John McCutcheon. His new CD Passage was number 19 on the list last month! So I went to …

Pack Up Your Sorrows – Richard and Mimi Farina

I love these old Pete Seeger Rainbow Quest videos. Here’s “Pack Up Your Sorrows” that was mentioned earlier tonight!

Saturday Twang – The Steeldrivers – Reckless

About a week ago I downloaded the new Steeldrivers album Reckless and for some reason I didn’t like the album as much as their self-tilted debut album. I thought their debut album was a really really fine album that stayed in my rotation for a good long time. Well after …

Weekend Retreat – Tim O’Brien – The Hackensaw Boys

So this weekend I went back in time to revisit some of the earlier work of Tim O’Brien. O’Brien recently received a nomination by International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) as Male Vocalist of the Year for his latest album Chicken and Egg. Unfortunately he did not win the award. The …

Eclectic Thursday – Part II (Yes – I know it’s Friday!)

So last night I wrote about my eclectic Thursday’s listening and then proceed to only write about acoustic guitar not very eclectic! Well the eclecticness (?) came when I went out for lunch. During the trip to Labcorp to take a drug test for a new part time job at …

Twang Tuesday – Sierra Hull and Highway 111

So a while ago I wrote about the great young fiddler Amanda Shaw. When the post was on No Depression one of the comments was that maybe she could team with equally young Sierra Hull, who plays mandolin to form a wunderkid band! So never having heard of Sierra Hull …
