02 If I Prove False To You

From Dogs and Wolves - EP (Beating Drum, March, 2014)
4-track EP on available our shop: http://shop.beatingdrumrecords.com

'Wait by the Water' was recorded a few months ago at the theatre de l'Athénée in Paris with the gifted violinist Jasser Haj Youssef.
I wrote it after having finished Between Dogs and Wolves album with the live show in mind. I wanted to sing something that would work as a way of tuning ourselves into the right frequency in order to listen to quiet and intimate music.

Cover #20 from the series "Songs I Love" by Piers Faccini

I first heard this song on my favourite Pentangle album ´Solomon's seal'. I read later that it was Anne Brigg´s beautiful a cappella version recorded in 1971 that brought this jewel of a song to wider acclaim. Like much of the great English folk canon, this early C19th song blends a delicate and haunting melody with some stunning poetry.
My friend, the South African guitarist and songwriter Nibs van der Spuy introduced me to Dick Gaughan's masterpiece 'Handful of Earth' while we were on tour in South Africa a few years ago. If I had to pick my favourite version of The snows they melt the soonest, it would doubtless be Gaughan's wonderfully intense and amost spoken rendition.
I live in the Cevennes in Southern France and during the Summer I organize acoustic concerts in the region. For each show, I share the stage with a different artist and friend. After Dawn Landes in May and Vincent Segal in June, I invited Nibs for July's concert in the Romanesque chapel of Sainte Croix de Caderle. I took advantage of him staying for a couple of days at our home to record a version of The snows they melt the soonest, a song we both love!

Piers Faccini - The Snows They Melt The Soonest (Songs I Love #20)

Love is oh so Patient

AGNES OBEL - Riverside

Korby Lenker is a storyteller in every sense of the word. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, author, actor, and podcaster, he’s spent his life chasing what moves him—whether that’s through melody, fiction, or film. His newest single, Meet Me at the End of the World, marks a return to the lyrically rich, emotionally resonant songwriting that has defined his career for nearly three decades.

A self-proclaimed troubadour, Korby has toured internationally, published award-winning fiction, and released eight albums of critically acclaimed Folk-Americana. After 2021’s Man in the Maroon (named one of American Songwriter’s Best Albums of the Year), he took a detour into film, co-writing and starring in Morse Code, a television pilot loosely based on his own winding creative path. The project racked up awards on the festival circuit—Best TV Pilot, Best Lead Actor, Best Original Music, and more—cementing his reputation as an artist who refuses to stay in one lane.

Following the success of Morse Code, Korby leaned even further into his love of storytelling by launching The Morse Code Podcast, a deep-dive series on creativity and process with high-achieving artists, writers, and filmmakers. Now in its second season, the show has featured Grammy winners, bestselling authors, Hall of Fame songwriters, and Tiny Desk Concert alumni.

At the core of it all, Korby is simply a guy who loves people, loves ideas, and loves seeing where the road leads next.
