I imagine you could probably put together a very interesting musical
by selecting the right Woody Guthrie songs.
I'm imagining a play where villainous pro-fascist Charles Lindbergh
is defeated by hobos in a climactic battle scene atop the Grand Coulee
Dam, after which the entire cast finishes with a chorus of "This Land is
Your Land." Somehow I doubt that's anything like the musical mentioned,
but I think it'd make a swell production..

Just finished JCS and Joseph. Stan Rodgers in on now,
a good springtime song: "Feild behind the plow".

"Listen, Listen," by the Continental Drifters. Review to follow, I hope.
Even the cover is a Fairport pastiche.

"Alfred", an English Patriotic Opera, circa 1740, by Thomas Arne. Ends
with a rousing ode titled "Rule, Britannia," which is the only part
that anybody remembers any more, though, listening to the original
version, it turns out they usually don't remember the tune quite
right ...

Na Lua, "Ronda Das Mafarricas" from FEITIZO ... several great songs on this
disc --- if you get into Celtiberian folk, I suppose.

Emmylou Harris -- "Red Dirt Girl"
I still don't think it's quite as strong an album as "Wrecking Ball"
but it has really grown on me. My opinion doesn't seem to be universally
shared -- folks who like mainstream (Nashville) country often seem
to be disappointed by her recent work -- but I'm convinced that the
late-90s collaboration between Emmylou and Daniel Lanois has resulted
in the strongest work either of them has produced in years. I really
hope Emmylou continues to work with Lanois as a producer..

Bob Blackman's Sunday night folk show on WKAR-FM. Since they're
pledging, it's some sort of listener's-favorites show and is thus
very old fashioned. Right now it's a set of Bob Dylan covers.

Mollie O'Brien, TELL IT TRUE. I dug this out of a box today after
hearing BBC's "Late Junction" show play two tracks from it recently.
Sigh: relying on the BBC to wake me up to stuff I already own...

Thea Gilmore, "Fever Beats." Jeez, I haven't bought a single in
maybe a decade? But it's the only way this track was available.
Something BBC's "Celtic Connections" show played a couple weeks ago.
The second track is all acoustic strummy stuff I'm not crazy
about, and that seems to be more typical of her style than the
electric guitars of the A-side.

Talking Heads -- "More Songs About Buildings and Food"
Rediscovering this album is yet another happy bonus of my great
iPod-inspired MP3-ripping project. Have I mentioned repeatedly
how much I really, really, really like the iPod? I just wish I'd
known they were releasing a 10G version the week after I bought
mine..

Craig David, "Walking Away." Pop song, yes, but it can apply to so
many things. I cried hard the first few times I heard it
..and I've been numb to tears for quite a while.

Elvis Costello -- "Armed Forces"
Despite starting the album with "Oh, I just don't know where to begin.."
there's no evidence whatsoever that at this point in his career he was
having any difficulty speaking up about what was on his mind.. I miss
his bitterness and cynicism as much as I miss Richard Thompson's..
Neither was ever the same after they started to mellow..
