A my personal version of an old Sicilian Folk Song to which I added three variations.
The video refers to one of my live performance at the 1987 'Musical Institute "V. Bellini"in Catania.

There is a TV appearance tomorrow that puts a smile on my face - Kathleen Edwards on Letterman Tuesday. The Canadian singer/songwriter made a splash on the Americana charts with her debut in 2003 and the killer single "Back To Me." The rest of the album might not have been quite up to the standard of that country-rocker, but the bar was set pretty high. Looking forward to something new from her. While psyching up for this, I revisited the video from that song. Kind of an odd mixture of tongue-in-cheek irony and cliché, but the music still rocks. And yes, that is John Doe as the hapless object of her desire:



And here is a clip from her appearance on Austin City Limits. The lead guitarist, Colin Cripps, has a great sound dialed in, full and still lean, like a pride of lions, growling in the background during the body of the song, then roaring when he takes his lead. Reminds me of ... Jeff Bird, actually. BTW, this is from a split bill with Alison Krauss in 2005, so there IS some MC after all ... sort of ...




Say - is it all right for a Canadian artist to be considered Americana? Would he/she have to be Canadiana? Is Americana derived from the term "America" as pertaining to the nation or the continent? What about South America? Never mind that, what about Mexico? Do Mexican musicians make Mexicana music? Where is Doug Sahm when we need him? Or Los Lobos, for that matter.

Discuss ...

I just discovered these guys. They have some of their tracks up for free download on their homepage. They recorded a pretty fun version of "Johnny B. Goode" on their 1998 album.

"I think I need a 1983 Casio DG-20 electric guitar set to electric mandolin..."

[Barry Wilson]

[Ed Goist]

Jim, that was flat out Epic!

[Ed Goist]

No MC, but a wonderful display of Matt King's songwriting and performance skills...and one absolute Cannon of a Gibson guitar...

[Kip Carter]

Loved it!

Wonderful Americana from 'The Giving Tree Band'.
Featured here are three instruments (Guitar, Slide Guitar, and Mandolin) built by my friend and luthier Jason Harshbarger of Highland Strings. Great Stuff! (NFI)

[Ed Goist]

One more...Here's another video featuring one of Jason's instruments. This time it's Jeremy Francis performing 'Bartering Lines' on one of Jason's flagship 'Orenda' guitars. Man, listen to that thing!

I know this is not what you might usually find around these parts but my dad used to sing in this choir.. and I found this song today and I'm sure we can all relate to the lyrics.. the crescendo at the end is wonderful...hope you enjoy..

Last night at Amnesia in San Francisco, Adam Roszkiewicz (of the Modern Mandolin Quartet), played a bunch of killer instrumentals on Guitar, Mandolin and a very nice Mandocello later joined by the fearless Leif Karlstrom on fiddle and towards the end of "Rosco's Happy Hour," Jordan Klein on Banjo.

Here is there trio rendition of Ragtime Annie that I snapped in my iPhone 4.

Rosco owns and plays the only Mandocello ever made by Randy Wood.

[Ed Goist]

Wow, thanks Ted, that was awesome.
That is a remarkable mandocello, and Adam plays it beautifully.
Thanks for posting.

[Treblemaker]

Roscoe and Leif also played among many originals - Grisman's Japan and Mike Marshall's Gator Strut.
