Revolt of the ILX Brigade: New Post-Fahey Folk For PPL that post in the Takoma & Tompkin's Square Threads

digging this janet smith...who's bob wilson the second guitarist?

i don't know! some of the janet smith is a little frilly folky vocal stuff, but i dig it.

yeah it's pretty fancy, but i dunno break out the candles and red wine and sit down by the fire

i feel like she probably lived in a big victorian house where lots of ppl hung out and they always drank wine and she was perpetually making a big spaghetti dinner for everyone

and they listend to blue by joni mitchell a lot

totally

pretty cheap on amazon if you need it: http://www.amazon.com/Fingerstyle-Guitar-Solos-Janet-Smith/dp/0931759315

haha some price differential there lol

oh lol, only saw the $11 pricetag there. better snap it up and re-sell for $500!

i dunno the one for $429 is probably in better shape

Nice Glenn Jones video on NPR website, which just shows a straight shot of his playing the whole way through. Nice little write-up too:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2013/04/17/177474999/glenn-jones-bittersweet-farewell-to-a-family-home#

He seems to have come from the same kind of NJ as I have.

new jones record is great, totally masterful. loved his last one, but this one is stronger overall...

It's isn't out yet though, right?

no, in a couple weeks -- may 14?

Excited!

Yeah, saw Glenn live last year and loved it, imagine that this album is gonna be lovely.

i recently sold that janet smith record.. never listened to it much. it's nice, but i didn't find it sticking with me. a bit mannered as well, i like my songwriting more on the ragged sad dude in torn jeans vein...

yeah i can see why it hasn't been reissued -- definitely pretty far from "cool," kinda more living room folk, but i was liking it for that reason.

oh, it's not bad, don't get me wrong! i am at a place in my life where i'm sort of aggressively pruning my record collection.

have you heard that women's guitar workshop thing?

oh actually just found it streaming here: https://mog.com/m#album/35697431

the name "margo random" sounds like a pynchon character.

i haven't heard that! i'll have to listen.
ya'll know the "puget sound guitar workshop' record right? that's a classic.

i don't know that one! looks totally groovy tho

ur a national treasure

Dude in the top right looks kinda like Tom Carter of Charalambides (though also like a ton of other long-haired and bearded men). Album sure does look groovy though.

damn thanks tyler & thanks for your next-level internetting skillz

Hmm, I drunkenly bought that Janet Smith book, not sure what I was thinking, haven't really listened to any of her music, and I'm assuming that tape isn't coming in the mail alongside it. At least I only dropped 11 bucks!

haha dammit now i gotta shell out $400 :p

that one probably comes with the cassette

damn the janet smith revival begins HERE

Hah, always knew that this thread had a higher calling.

guys... i know i do not keep up with newer guitar stuff as much as some of you, and spend a lot of time listening to older records. yesterday i went to the house of {famous 78 collector] and this is one of the records that got played -- amazing guitar instro by Bayless Rose:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bmqvRzBteQ

oh awesome. bayless rose is on the upcoming imaginational anthem thing (and on that grrrreat mountain guitar thing, too).

yeah, i was psyched! i don't think he's on the LP version of mountain guitar, cuz i don't think i'd heard anything by him before yesterday. but maybe i just missed it.

cool thx ian, super excited for that imaginational anthem thing, super pissed i actually have to drag my ass out to record store day :/

xp yeah he's the last track on the CD version -- "jamestown exhibition"... thanks for that recommendation, loving the whole thing.

bonus inzane old-timey tune:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=xzbMALS0Edo&NR=1

Digging both of these songs. Thanks!

yeah, so good.
listening to this danny paul grody dude this morning, who we may have talked about upthread? - http://dannypaulgrody.bandcamp.com/
he's on the last imaginational anthem comp, maybe more in a soundtrack-y/ambient/almost new age vein, but very very good. apparently has a new thing coming out on three lobed this summer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnYWvsME-1U

gonna just post occasional old-timey videos in this thread, try to keep it more guitar and songster oriented than fiddlin

i may have posted this on ilx somewhere before but it;s a huge fave--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sIv_qQ314

Also great, but with a name like "Jimbo Jambo Land" it pretty much has to be. Enjoyed the Rabbit Brown as well, keep em coming!

That Danny Paul Grody is really nice. I am a fan of minimal guitar stylings, and it is just a really well-textured set of songs. Nothing too showy at all, but I also didn't find it too new-agey, pretty good balance of stuff to hang onto (i.e., movement and melody) and drones/layers to my ears. Think he is on tour with Chuck Johnson, also mentioned upthread.

danny paul grody is really hitting the spot right now, need soothing stuff w/how crazy this week has been in the world

also perhaps it's a testament to fahey himself that this thread can contain stuff ranging from jimbo jambo land to danny paul grody and it still makes *sense*

lol at this from the lumineers thread
really tempted to start trolling Revolt of the ILX Brigade: New Post-Fahey Folk For PPL that post in the Takoma & Tompkin's Square Threads in the LOL FOLK MUSIC style of this thread

haha classic some dude

Yeah, this thread is a real winner in that sense in re the range of the stuff that "makes sense". I would think the Fahey would have liked, or at least not actively hated, most of the stuff here.

Oops, bad timing there.
