Hummingbird / 4 Strings / Willy Tea Taylor

Single taken from the album 'Somewhere in the City'

I was digging through my mom's record collection and stumbled upon Janis Joplin's 'Pearl' record. I had heard "Mercedes Benz" before, but it had been a few years. It was one of those moments where I instantly jumped up, and decided it would be a dope song to flip. The concept is so relatable, and the passion is so present in her voice. The original is an acapella, so I wrote some chords and called my homie John Michael over to lay down some acoustic guitar parts down behind her vocal. I'm stoked on how it came out.

Mercedes Benz (The American Dream) ft. Janis Joplin

Song Up In Her Head,” produced by Jarosz and award-winning engineer and producer Gary Paczosa, features a mix of her original new-old-timey ballads, and two well chosen covers, the Decemberists’ “Shankill Butchers” and the Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan co-write, “Come On Up To The House,” which mesh flawlessly with the other eleven songs.  Her collaborators include teenaged peers, including Samson Grisman and Alex Hargreaves, as well as well-known veterans of the acoustic scene, including Chris Thile, Darrell Scott, Stuart Duncan, Mike Marshall and Jerry Douglas.  It's an impressive coming out party, a survey of where she's been so far, and a good indicator of where she's headed.  [Adapted from the liner notes by Tim O’Brien]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Oh Susannah

Opening song to the album 'a brown cafe at 3am' (2009).  

Lyrics: 

A brown cafe at 3am, got the twelfth-bar blues again, I drink to you, I drink to you.
So one more for the road my friend. Who knows when this road will end? So drain your cup, goodbye, good luck.

You and I can never be, living in this low country, we're two wrongs, trying to make a right.

Off my head as I watch the sun, burning through the City scum - I rub my face - of you no trace

You and I can never be, living in this low country, we're two wrongs, trying to make a right.

And on the streets, bottles roll, empty trams and empty souls, I'll make my way, home someday
It's a tribute to a certain cafe and a certain friend at a certain time of night. 
Lilting, late and heartbreaking.
Goes down  well with a chilled Duvel in a filthy glass.
Now included on 'A Prize Every Time - The Greatest Bits'
There's a new video to accompany my favourite song:

Sugar

Stop fooling around 
Stop building me up / then breaking me down 
Stop fooling around

Stop leading me on 
Stop shutting me out / then letting me in 
Stop leading me on

You put on all the lights for me
You put on all the lights for me
You put on all the lights for me / and when you shut them off / I see 
You’re fooling around with me


Stop Fooling Around


Pete Flood of Bellowhead offers up an ingenious reworking of the title track from Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker's forthcoming 'Fire & Fortune' album.

'Fire & Fortune' is released on Navigator Records on 22nd July 2013.

In a town full of songs and singers, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker give you the real thing. Both classically trained, their musical proficiency is beyond doubt. But this isn't about technical accomplishment. This is about a song, first and foremost. Whether interpreting words centuries old, or singing her own authentic lyrics, Josienne's jewel-like voice finds the nuance and melancholy in the simplest phrase and effortlessly sends it straight to your heart.
Ben's musical tact and mastery of the guitar provide the perfect setting and allow the song centre-stage.Josienne was born in Sussex and Ben, in Evesham. It was after studying in London, and utterly by chance, that they met in July 2009. They have been working together ever since. Critical acclaim soon followed, along with the Isambard Folk Award and the FATEA award for Female vocalist of the year. Their work together combines an exquisite command of their instruments with lyrics steeped in the tradition of English songwriting, and in ageless stories of love and loss.
Two joint releases later, they've played as a duo alongside many of the living legends including Martin Simpson and Steve Tilston, and have just completed tour dates in Germany, the Netherlands and UK with more planned for 2013.
Navigator Records, home of Bellowhead, Bella Hardy, Heidi Talbot and many other gifted musicians, will be releasing their new album ‘Fire and Fortune’ on 22 July 2013.
Though influenced by greats such as Sandy Denny, Richard and Linda Thompson, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and June Tabor, ‘Fire and Fortune’ marks two musicians who have resolutely found their own path through traditional English music.
Their new album, ‘Fire and Fortune’ contains twelve tracks, some carefully selected traditional songs re-imagined; others equally carefully picked original compositions. This is timeless stuff, and its purity will stay with you long after the last note fades.
