Weather the Storm

A little folk tune I've been working on lately. Took this live take in a field near my house. Probably sounded eerie to dog walkers nearby.

Gli hanno CANCELLATO i ricordi con l'ELETTROSHOCK: la storia nera di Townes Van Zandt

Ciao a tutti, ho realizzato un video saggio narrativo per il mio canale di ascolto Frequenze per persone solitarie dedicato a Townes Van Zandt e al suo capolavoro del 1969, Our Mother the Mountain.

In questo episodio ripercorriamo la tragedia vissuta a 20 anni da Townes: ricoverato in una clinica psichiatrica a Galveston, subì trattamenti d'urto e shock insulinici che gli cancellarono completamente i ricordi dell'infanzia. E analizziamo come quel vuoto e quella malinconia siano stati trasformati in musica grazie agli arrangiamenti barocchi e spettrali di Kevin Eggers:

Qual è la canzone di Townes Van Zandt che vi scava più a fondo dentro ogni volta che la ascoltate?

[Indie] the Venezuela Shuffle

Ever wonder how other countries view America now?

Our actions speak louder then words.

My words, dropped into Suno.

ENJOY

Most Special Tracks to come out of Memphis?

Drop y’all picks for the most special/unique tracks to ever come out of Memphis. Not even necessarily the best or biggest songs, I mean songs that are really one of one. Like there’s nothing else that gives you that same sound or feeling.

Fr interested bc I just heard the bopgod song South Vegas Menace for the first time and holy shit that song is beautiful. Especially that fucking sample. It sets the whole tone of the song within like 10 seconds and then the way bro writes over it just fits perfectly. The song raw as hell n so much emotion w it at the same time.

No gas but it got me thinking ab how much valid Memphis music I probably haven’t heard, especially underground shit that never blew up or got forgotten.

Memphis got such a deep history of unique music and I know there’s a lot I’m missing. So put me on, what Memphis songs do y’all think are really one of one? Could be the sample, beat, flow, story, atmosphere, whatever makes it special. Any era, famous or obscure idc

I wanna find more songs where you can hear that type of character in the music, or where the artist/producer just caught something that can’t really be recreated.

I fw the wave going on in the city. Shoutout Bezzal, Bigg Uncc and Bankboy Wayne- my fav artists from the city.

Does anyone know of any recordings of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger singing together?

I've been searching for recordings of these 2 singing together but I haven't found a single one yet. I know they crossed paths many times and I have yet to find one with them together. I figure Alan Lomax would have recorded these 2 together at least once.

"Grey Dawn Breaking" live while sailing! by Bealtaine (original song)

There was a song on the wind, you could say!

Here's an original celtic folk style song I put together with lyrics adapted from the old poem "sea fever" by John Masefield - it's my Dads favourite poem. As a lifelong sailor, he taught me to sail as a kid, and now my 7 year old is learning to sail, I felt inspired to write this song for him. Thanks to my fellow band mates in Bealtaine for putting some wind in its sails!

George White on Octave Mandolin, Conor Freeland on whistle, Dylan Rooke singer-songwriter.
