A bunch of Singer-songwriter albums starting with Chris Flegg and his album called Gazing at the Stars All Night. Flegg is originally a jazz musician and uses folk influences to complete his music. This album is his ninth full length CD and I’m almost ashamed to admit that it’s the first one ever which made it to my cd-player. The first thin that got my attention is his beautiful, warm aged voice. It touched something inside me and although I find his music a bit to jazzy/folky mainstream now and then, it’s well played and I love listening to it. It’s both vulnerable and powerful, a storyteller and a nice guitarist. This album touches me because of the honesty and the pureness of his compositions and music. I’m sure It will be played a few times more, just before sleeping time, the perfect album to end a day with.
German CD Review Maurice Tani & 77 El Deora just recorded an album with twelve country rock styled songs. The first thing that I notice is the positive energy that rocks out of the speakers. These musicians love making music and I think that’s the main purpose of making music together. The album itself is a collection of mainstream country-rock tracks, or maybe country-pop is a better way to describe their music. Must be a party to see them live, but without the visual aspects I do miss this extra thing that gets their album above the average of sort like bands.
Maurice Tani & Mike Anderson shows another side of singer and guitarist Tani. Together with Mike Anderson on bass and a bunch of guest musicians, he creates a much more intimate atmosphere. On this album his vocals impress me much more, deep, warm and a real storyteller. Some beautiful, pure and well played acoustic roots/bluegrass/country influenced contemporary music here. Sparkling strings and earthy bass complete the songs and help Tani bringing the best out of him. Totally different than the Blue line album which is great for parties, but does not have the impact and pureness this album does have. Very, very nice!
Rick Shea grew up with the honky tonk and folk related styles from Los Angeles region. On this new album called Sweet Bernardine he recorded ten tracks, mainly original material. With slight South-American vibes, Shea brings friendly, bluesy songs that each tell their own story. Nicely sung, backed by several guest musicians including a duet with the legendary Mary McCaslin on the final track Streamline Cannonball. For those who like honest singer-songwriter music in this vein, this might be an interesting album.
Peter Gallway is known for being one of the Strangers and for his great songwriting. On this new album he reinvents eleven of his songs which he wrote between 1965 -1970 and one new song. Nice, pure craftsmanship. Great soulful backings, naked music with a great sixties/early seventies touch. Gallway shows his quality as poet, composer and singer. Although it’s not a folk record, it does contain some great music.

Love Over Gold "Fall to Rise"
Little Secret Records, 2013

www.love-over-gold.com

Female duo Love over gold is Pieta Brown and Lucie Thorne. Ten original songs are recorded with their vocals and guitar as main ingredients. This Fall to Rise is the duo’s debut album and contains some neo-folky style music. Dreamy vocals, basic guitar play, one airy voice and the other deep and earthy. All ingredients are there for a great folk adventure, and often the songs are really nice. You hear the passion of the musicians for their songs. But somehow after a few songs I get a bit bored, their way of singing, the structures of the songs is repeated and I’m waiting for something to happen, something that puts this duo above the many young folk duo’s that dare to record their songs. So for me, a nice debut album, talented musicians but I personally would like a more outspoken sound.

Kejaleo "Alaire"
Karonte, 2013

Artist Video

www.kejaleo.com

Kejaleo is a Spanish trio on acoustic and electric guitar and percussion. Backed by musicians on bass, drums and vocals, the six musicians recorded an interesting debut album. Eleven original tracks which blend traditional Spanish styles with rock and jazz. This results in a well-balanced, strong album with easy going, well played music. Interesting how the jazz vibes easily mingle with the flamenco rhythms. Good guitar works, solid percussion and relaxing, free styled, female jazz vocals are the main ingredients. Interesting for both jazz and folk lovers.

Juha Kujanpää "Kivenpyörittäjä"
Kuu records, 2013

Artist Video

www.juhakujanpaa.com

From Finland comes the first solo album by composer and musician Juha Kujanpää. On piano harmonium and keyboard and backed by fourteen guest musicians Kujanpää takes the listener on a journey into his own world. Playing in several known and lesser known folk and jazz ensembles, Kujanpää is also a composer of music for theatre and movies. On this album he brings all those styles together. Ten original compositions that each tell a little story. It’s like he tells from a storybook, not with words but with melodies and rhythms. With elements of folk, jazz, rock, soundtrack, Latin and so much more, it’s like he wants to show us everything he has to offer. Very melodic, a few symphonic moments, but always , technically spoken, on a high level. I prefer the more calm parts in which a melody really gets the opportunity to grow. It’s not often that he does this, it’s like he wants to express all the ideas he has on one album. Many good ideas, beautiful ideas, but I think I prefer a more simple approach instead of the constant change of styles and the somehow theatrical performance. An album that intrigues, has potential, but somehow doesn’t fully land into my mind.

Clica Drona "Musica de Gasconha"
Aepem, 2013

Artist Video

clicadrona.wix.com

On the very interesting French label Aepem the debut album by the dynamic French folk band Clica Drona has been released a few months ago. With a mixture of acoustic and electro-acoustic, traditional style, instruments this quartet plays traditional music from the Gascoigne region and original compositions inspired on the traditional heritage of the Gascoigne. Starting with a few chaotic seconds, this album is an intriguing collection of songs and tunes. They kept the original traditional atmosphere, but by adding sounds, using modern arrangements these four musicians give the music a fresh and timeless sound. With lots of nice hurdy gurdy parts, cornemuse, violin, accordion and well placed percussion this album is a strong debut from a vivid French band that will, hopefully, bring us a lot of more great listening hours in future.

Burdon Folk Band "Divytsia"
Nashformat, 2012

Artist Video

www.burdon.lviv.ua

Already a bit older album of the Burdon folk band, a sextet from the Ukraine playing Carpathian music, Ukrainian songs and Balkan/oriental orientated music. This is the bands fourth album and contains eleven traditional pieces and one newly composed one. A happy sounding mixture of polka’s, ritual songs, nice female sparkling female vocals and earthy male voice. Although I like the sound of the album, the band does stay a bit in the comfort zone of popular traditional music from Eastern Europe. It’s a sound I hear more often from similar bands and their approach/musical arrangements reminds me of the groups that were popular late nineties/early 21st century. So an album which gives me mixed feelings, nicely played and I would have loved it when I got it ten years ago, but now I keep having the feeling I heard it before and I would have liked a more 'original' sound.

Nadia Birkenstock & Steve Hubback "The Glow Within"
Laika, 2013

Ok, I was not very enthusiastic to review a harp – percussion album. I think a few harp albums during the past 15 years of reviewing made me a bit… well let´s say not a real fan of the folk/harp genre. So I really intended to write a short review, just announcing that the album is released. But, and please keep this for yourself, I kind of like this album. I know, it’s a bit sugar sweet Celtic styled music, dreamy, bit mainstream (as far as you can say that about folky music) but it works. This duo creates a warm, fragile and beautiful atmosphere. I keep on listening to their music and dream away on the beautiful, crystal clear harp play of Birkenstock and the subtle Hubback percussion. What to do? Well, my grandmother always told me to be honest so I’m now about to confess that I kind of like this album, I kind of think it’s well played by two musicians who put their passion in what they do and that can be heard in their music. I beg the editors of this magazine, please do not start sending me the loads of Celtic harp albums we get each year. But the next one by this duo…

Svestar "Svestar"
Go Folk, 2013

Artist Video

www.svestar.dk

From Denmark a trio called Svestar (sisters) Three musicians on vocals, piano and violin. Backed by cello and flugelhorn, this trio gives me mixed feelings while hearing their CD. The album starts promising with a singer Anne Roed Refshauge singing in Norwegian goat calling style. Beautiful in combination with the nice, rural sounding violin. What a big contrast with the second part of the opening track Skøn sired where the vocals suddenly sound decent, trained and controlled. In combination with the ‘sweet’piano, all the atmosphere is gone and I’m amazed that two such different emotions can be combined in one song. Happily the violin keeps on playing free and frivol, it saves the song. Also during the rest of the album the trio keeps confusing me and each time again it’s the violin that forces me to stay awake and keep listening. Although the vocals do impress me at moments , a warm voice, strong when a song gets a more jazzy setting, I sometimes which she would take more risk and be more expressive at moments. A nice albums, intriguing at moments but also confusing. Worth a try, tell me what you think. I still don’t know if I like it or it’s all a bit to ‘clean’.

Txütxükan "Surf the River Lee"
Wild boar music, 2013

Jazgot "Muzyko, siłę"
4evermusic, 2013

Di Chuzpenics "Glat asoj!"
Own label, 2013

Le Chauffeur Est Dans Le Pre "New York, Istanbul, Bamako"
Solene lavenan, 2013

www.txutxukan.com
www.jazgot-band.com
www.chuzpenics.de
www.lechauffeurestdanslepre.org

A few new, more or less, Balkan & klezmer influenced albums. Starting with the Belgian band Txutxukan. Five years after their debut album this quintet comes with a new full length album. Ten new, original, recordings on which they focus on the sounds of the Balkan and klezmer music. In a vivid, uplifting way they mix folk sounds with upbeat percussion and electric bass. Besides the standard instruments in this genre such as the accordion and the clarinet, they also use the sound of the kaval and on one track they even use the Gamelan. Not an instrument that is usually connected to Balkan music. All of this results into a fine hour of brass-rock. Played with enthusiasm and craftsmanship, but in the vein of other top bands in this genre. Nice second album for those who like honest, but also a bit predictable, Balkan styled modern dance music.
The second Balkan-styled album comes from Poland and is recorded by Jazgot. Also a quintet, but in an acoustic setting this time. The musicians focus on traditional Hungarian, Romanian and gypsy music and try to capture the original vibe and sound modern at the same time. Like on earlier work this works out really well. The top musicians put passion and soul into their music and go from soft, fragile tears to wild and passionate dances. Impressive is the sound of the violins in combination with the rhythmic Cymbal and the accordion. Interesting new album with well-played Gypsy folk in recognizable, well played, style.
Di Chuzpenics is a German quartet playingkKlezmer music. This is the bands fifth album and contains fifteen new recordings. On vocals, accordion, violin and oboe the musicians play mainly traditional songs and tunes. A friendly album which expresses the atmosphere of this tradition in a moody way. Nice vocals, decent instrumental works, nothing more nothing less.
Le Chauffeur est Dans le Pre is a France sextet who brings a mixture of folk, brass, jazz and more. Together with several guest musicians they create a dance-able kind of brass-rock with influences from East, South and West. What you get is the known, bit predictable, mixture of styles. Nicely done, would have been renewing ten years ago, now just a fine new album in this genre.

Hot Griselda "Meow"
Own label, 2013

www.hotgriselda.eu

Hot Griselda is a Belgian/Dutch quartet which is very known in the world of the Bal folk meetings in the lowlands. Their slightly different approach gave them a big group of fans during the years. On pipes, whistles, sax, (electric) guitars and more the four musicians create a fine Celtic influenced instrumental sound. They play in a hypnotizing way their fourteen new recordings on which you will also recognize sounds from the many French traditions and even some influences from further south. It’s an album that needs time to reveal its full beauty. At first sight Meow sounds like a standard instrumental folk album. But the more you play it, the more you will hear the different layers the musicians put into the music and you discover the beauty of the melodies they play. Not only suitable for Bal folk dancing, but also a great album to listen to and enjoy.

Corde Oblique "Volontà d'Arte"
Prikosnovenie, 2007

www.cordeoblique.com

Corde Oblique is an Italian band gathered around guitarist and composer Riccardo Prencipe. On this re-released album they perform thirteen of his new compositions. Prencipe uses many traditional influences for his songs including Italian roots, fado atmosphere´s, Spanish sparkles, Celtic moods and many more. It´s an album that gives me mixed feelings. I hear a few great musician who play with passion and craftsmanship. But even after a few times listen, I experience this album as chaotic. It´s like Prencipe wanted to put to many ideas on one CD and I didn’t manage to discover the red line in his music. It´s clear that he likes story telling songs, but it´s like the storyteller sometimes jumps from one part of the story to another and back again. But on other moments catches me with delicate melodies and a dreamy atmosphere. This album shows the quality of the composer and the musicians, but for me personally it needs more balance, more unity and less diversity. Nevertheless a band that intrigues me and that I will follow closely as they have everything to become a major international folk related act.

Jarmo Romppanen "Solmogen II"
Aania, 2007

Artist Video

www.jarmoromppanen.net

Well, when you are into the mandolin of fingerpicking music this might be the album of the year for you. Twelve tracks mandolin and foot stomping only. From Finland Romppanen shows the world the magic of the mandolin and the many faces this instrument has. Recorded live in the studio without any overdubs he surprises with sparkling, powerful music. With mainly newly composed tracks Romppanen bewitches with mainly tender gentle music and sometimes with a slight undertow of well-placed aggression. Enjoy this album by a master musician who keeps his audience focused for twelve songs with his mandolin and foot stomping only.

Lajla Renate Buer Storli "Møya som drøymde"
Heilo, 2013

Since, many years ago, Agnes Buen Garnås recorded Norwegian songs from the Middle ages,[44] I’m fond of recordings with songs from Norway from this period in time. Intriguing to hear how the same songs can be interpreted in such different way. Lajla Renate Buer Storli recorded fourteen ballads from the middle ages and hardanger violin tunes from Hardanger and the Voss region. Together with great musicians such as Knut Hamre on Hardingfele and vocals by Kim André Rysstad and Kirsten Bråten Berg, she recorded a fantastic album. Her warm, sparkling voice brings the old ballads back to life in a convincing way. The combination with the sober, well played tunes on the hardingfele works perfectly. It doesn’t matter if she sings solo like in Storebror of lillebror or she is backed by langeleik, flute, hardingfele and two extra vocalists in a song like Målfrid mi frue, all songs are well arranged, perfectly in balance and brought with craftsmanship and passion. An album to cherish and highly recommended to all lovers of beautiful folk music.

Østfolk "Østfolk"
Heilo, 2013

www.ostfolk.wordpress.com

A new trio from Norway, well new… Three top musicians joined together and started recording folk songs and tunes in a fabulous way. Violinist Vegar Vårdal impresses with his melodic, passionate play, Åsmund Reistad impresses as much with his sparkling, perfectly arranged guitar and mandola play. Listen how he plays softly at the background in a song like Skjøn Anna almost hypnotizing the singer with the repeating melody. This singer is Linn Andrea Fuglseth, who you might know from trio mediæval, who blows me away as soon as she starts singing. Some musicians can bring tears to one’s eyes, Fuglseth does this several times with her crystal clear, well trained and expressive voice. Especially in the slower ballads she bewitches me, takes over my heart and soul and incidentally takes my breath away. What a super trio and what would it be great to have them touring in Holland very soon. Four (!) Norwegian albums make it to my top ten of best records of 2013, this is, without any doubt, one of them.

Artist Video

www.erlendapneseth.com

Blikkspor is the first album by Norwegian musician Erlend Apneseth. On the Hardanger fiddle he plays seventeen tunes, from which the biggest part is self-composed. Anpneseth plays fragile music, beautifully played composition in which the tradition can be felt. Even at the end of the album where drums and electronics join in, his music keeps it’s natural, almost meditative atmosphere. A debut album by a promising musician who shows to be not afraid to give the music his own, personal twist.

Anne-Mari Kivimäki "Aikapyörä"
Kihtinäjärvi records, 2013

Artist Video

www.puhti.eu

Anne-Mari Kivimäki is a composer and musician from Finland who plays the Notka accordion, a Russian two row accordion type. Her expressive and unique style and performance brought her all around the world. Her latest project is called Aikapyörä and this album reflects a selection of songs she composed for a series of concerts which are part of her artistic doctoral thesis at the Sibelius academy. For this project she was inspired by the life of the accordionist Ilja Kotikallio. Together with electronic folk musicians Eero Gründstrom she created a remarkable, slightly controversial album with fantastic modern folk music. Kivimäki knows how to go to the essence of a composition and uses subtle changes in rhythm and melody to bewitch the listener. I don’t think I have heard such a perfect balance between the ‘traditional’ instrument and electronic beats and sounds that often before. With her minimalistic approach, her creating soundscapes and musical storytelling Kivimäki amazes me each time again. When I think I understand the road she is taking, she takes a side path and surprises me with beautiful new views. This album is a great modern-folk related experience for those who like to hear how traditional inspiration leads to modern music.

Jitka Šuranska "Nĕzachoď slunečko"
Indies, 2013

Artist Video

www.jitkasuranska.cz

Jitka Šuranska comes from a small village in the Moravia region. She was surrounded by traditional (Moravian) music and now she is seen as one of the rising stars of Moravian vocal tradition. On this album thirteen songs that root deeply in the traditional musical heritage. With her earthy vocals and her fine violin play, Šuranska recorded a delicate album with intense, warm music. Together with several musicians, including members of Teagrass and the Pacora trio, she manages to record a traditional sound that fits a young generation. A fine, melodic album.

Hewar "Letters to a Homeland"
Dreyer-Gaido, 2011

www.easternvoices.com

The small German Dreyer-Gaido label has released three years old recordings by the Hewar trio. To me, and I think many others, an unknown trio, but that will chance very rapidly I think. With the Syrian singer Dima Orsho as lead vocalist, the Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and Oud player Issam Rafea from Kuwait, Hewar impresses with a mixture of tradition, classical, jazzy and free styled music. Their original compositions are fragile, intense and played at the highest level. Orsho has a voice that crawls under your skin, very well supported by the melodic Clarinet and the deep, warm sound of the Oud. This is modern-traditional Eastern music at its best.

Roisin O "The Secret Life of Blue"
3u Records; 2012

Artist Video: Roisin O

www.roisino.com

I have a counter on my blog at DC ROCK LIVE, which gives a lot of detail on how people discover my page. I had a massive amount of hits for a Mary Black show a few years back, and many of those were related to the opening act that night.[44] The question usually posed in the search engine was ‘Is Roisin O., Mary Black’s daughter?’ The answer is yes, and the genetics and experience of watching Mary Black while growing up have likely aided Roisin O’s rapid growth into a fine singer songwriter. Unlike that night, there is no guest spot with Mom here as Roison O’Reilly and her three bandmates give us eleven fine original songs. They all are part of the writing and playing, but the crystalline vocal work belongs to Ms. O, as she manages to bring traditional moves in to the mix in only the slightest manner. This is very balanced music that fits within pop, rock, and lounge genres with clever arrangements that create a lush open landscape. Folk fans will find moments that resonate and hopefully will stay with the album until the end as the last song is folkiest with voice, acoustic guitar and a delicate piano. This is fine music and Roisin O could very well be around a long time, like… well, you know.

Barbara Dickson "To Each and Everyone"
Greentrax, 2013

Artist Video

www.barbaradickson.net

It is nice to see Scottish singer Barbara Dickson still going strong. Her voice is as fine and resonant as ever as this record sounds like it could come from just about any era of her long and excellent career. Although she would probably say that a life of experiences make for stronger and fuller interpretation of classic songs, such as the thirteen present here—all written by fellow Scot and former musical partner Gerry Rafferty.[44] It starts off with the one that everyone has heard, “Baker Street”, but moves on to a mix of familiar and less known material (aside from the serious Rafferty fans of course). The record is smartly put together with a mix of arrangements featuring talented supporting musicians creating a full sound versus a few that feature voice and Dame Dickson’s harmonium. I enjoyed it all, but those haunting harmonium and voice cuts really stood out in a beautiful way.

Michael Mattice "Comin’ Home"
Own label; 2013

www.matticemusic.com

This is a lovely little gem that will easily appeal to folk fans who enjoy the work of Werner Lammerhirt, Leo Kottke, and Shawn Phillips, among many other acoustic guitar and vocal folk singers. Mattice shows the fluid speed of Lammerhirt at times, but pulls it back at other times to highlight his warm melodic vocals. Although he changes form rather radically for an old sounding blues tune, “Train Hoppin’”. This record sounds great, which is no surprise at was recorded by the esteemed veteran DC producer, Don Zientara, who has recorded brilliant records in Washington DC for many years now and is himself a fine acoustic folk player. This is quality material that will pull you in with every note and folk fans are advised to take notice.

Sean Taylor "Chase the Night"
Own label; 2013

Artist Video

www.seantaylorsongs.com

Sean Taylor’s original songs vary from bluesy barroom rockers to more introspective light rock songs to avant-garde psyche-jazz numbers. I preferred the latter cuts, as he successfully brings out warm bright melodies that linger on far more than the more standard blues based cuts. His voice is breathy, yet remains warm. Still, it takes a bit of getting used to. There is plenty of musical excitement for people that want warm well-arranged melodies, but need a certain flair and instrumental prowess to keep it interesting. “So Fine” is an absolutely stirring number that is worth listening through lesser cuts to get to. And as a plus, Danny Thompson makes an appearance on one song, making this about the 37,000th album he lends his magical bass playing to.

Morgan Finlay "Fault Lines"
SixtyOne Rec Vertrieb; 2013

www.morganfinlay.com

This is steady and quite hearty fare. Finlay hails from Canada and has a more broad based style than that of many on the East Canada folk scene. There is a light rock beat through much of this singer songwriter material. His voice is like a more spritely Richard Buckner and is inviting enough to bring you into his music. Like just about any album, some songs resonate stronger than others. I appreciated the folkier numbers, but there were only a couple that really stood out as keepers for the relisten pile. He is worth a listen and will succeed with a lot of fans of good songwriting.

Misner & Smith "Seven Hour Storm"
Own Label; 2013

www.misnerandsmith.com

The folk duo creates one of the warmer listening environments you could ask for. You have male and female vocals that work to harmonize by keeping the resultant sound at varying levels of intensity depending on the moment. Many times, it is on the quiet side, covering both pleasant happy feelings and deeper introspective moments. The music is focused on acoustic guitar with lovely embellishments on bass, piano, and percussion that broaden the scope without losing the center. Quite simply, this music makes me feel good. They even have acoustic guitar instrumentals, as well as a sharp little rocker called “Bird Street”.

Allan Taylor "All is One"
Stockfisch, 2013

www.allantaylor.com

OK, folk fans, get ready for the real deal. There are many wonderful choices out there for you, but there still is nothing like that of a work from an old master. Allan Taylor has been around since the early 1970s and if you enjoy all the greats from Martin Carthy to Archie Fisher, or Leon Rosselson to Ralph McTell, Allan Taylor should be right there in your listening spectrum. His voice is still as rich as ever with his delicate, lightly stung acoustic guitars innocently doing so much more than most guitarists, without trying to take over the song. Even as he tackles the most common of themes such as the poor and destitute, he still manages a way to sound fresh and inspirational. I hope he has many more songs inside of him still. These will do nicely for now.

Jonas Carping "All the Time in the World"
Own label; 2013

www.jonascarping.com

Ignore the collage album cover that looks like it represents the most mediocre barroom rock covers band you have ever avoided. Instead, this is a lovely little folk-rock record we have here. They remind me a bit of the Walkabouts, maybe mixed with Bill Callahan. The songs are not quite at that level, although there are a few that most anyone in a folk singer songwriter vein would be proud to come up with. The ten songs zip right by, but leave an impression with good vocal dynamics and some fine female backing.

Stephen Kellogg "Blunderstone Rookery"
Own label; 2013

www.facebook.com/sk6ers

Earnest rock music is the special of the day on this album. It moves around from barrelhouse rock to folk rock to bluesier numbers. It is all executed well, but too often this sort of record reminds me too much of Springsteen, Petty, etc. and I don’t always want to explore this enough to let the songs work on me. That said, there are some fine moments that do come through rather quickly and I would expect this would translate to a fine live show. So give Stephen Kellogg a fair listen and you may be rewarded.
