Anna & Elizabeth live on WFMU recorded April 2, 2018, engineered by Irene Trudel
Anna & Elizabeth  (interview)   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    Their Bandcamp page: https://annaandelizabeth.bandcamp.com/album/anna-elizabeth The page says that they're in Virginia, but they're both in New York City now, a fact that that makes me very happy.  1:58:59 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  John of Hazelgreen   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    This song appears on their most recent album, The Invisible Comes to Us, just out on Smithsonian Folkways. https://annaandelizabeth.bandcamp.com/album/the-invisible-comes-to-us  2:14:35 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  Black-Eyed Susan   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    This is one of an untold number of songs which came across from the British Isles but which became unknown here (or next to unknown), but which survives in the U.K. That being said, sometimes a song being covered by a half dozen people over the course of a couple of decades sometimes counts as "often" in trad folk circles. Clearly, Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth LaPrelle are doing amazing work in keeping these old ballads alive.  2:17:57 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  Jeano   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    To my ears, it may be possible to find contemporary singers in the ballad tradition who are as good and as important as Anna & Elizabeth, but I'm uncertain if there's anyone in their category. To me, they're the benchmark by which all contemporary ballad singers must be judged. They stand shoulder to shoulder with the great singers of yesteryear.  2:22:19 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  (interview)   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    Their website: https://www.annaandelizabeth.com/  2:24:27 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  Here in the Vineyard   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    From a 7-inch that came out early this year on Free Dirt Records. The A-side of the single is Hop High. The gals are just about to start a two week tour in the U.K, then going to Sweden in June.  2:29:07 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  (interview)   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    Some of the songs from their new album, which were found in music archives, are largely unknown, and for which I could find little or no information on the web.  2:34:04 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  Irish Patriot   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    I could find nothing on this song. Just in case you don't know, there's lots of stuff that's not on the web, and is available only to the dedicated diggers!  2:35:13 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  (interview)   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    Do yourself a favor and see them live in concert, especially with the backup musicians that they're using now, which has brought a very different and deeply satisfying sound to these old songs.  2:38:45 (Pop-up)
Anna & Elizabeth  Go to Sleep Little Baby   Favoriting (live on WFMU)    They weren't planning to do this song but they were very gracious to add it to the session. I've been wanting to get A&E to WFMU for at least a couple of years so it was wonderful to finally bring this about. A big thank you to the amazing Irene Trudel for engineering this session.  2:55:34 (Pop-up)

Wow, Anna & Elizabeth are really something special, aren't they? That spare sound--so haunting and beautiful. God.

Mark R. Yes, haunting and so calming I almost jumped back into bed.

Bascom is kind of rapping...
  6:43am
Mark R:

Honestly only recently started exploring the ancient "Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music" and Bascom's on there. Very cool stuff, love it. You could spend the rest of your life discovering amazing people on that collection. Very expensive but worth it. If you find a used copy for a decent price, grab it!

@Mark - definitely pick up a copy of “Invisible Republic” as companion to Anth of Amer Folk... the book was re-titled “The Old, Weird America”, but I believe the content is the same.

Right on, Hedy.

There’s a great large pic of Harry Smith in the lovby of the Ace Hotell on 29th St. I used to work near there.

Jeff C: I love Dick Gaughan but Nic Jones is the top of my list of male folk singers.

Ok. Let’s arm wrestle at the fair later and settle the Gaughan/Jones debate.

This traditional-leaning show really hits the right notes today. // London David: Tabor no longer with us?

David in London:

TDK - Sorry, possibly an inadvisable choice of word there. She doesn't seem to break musical cover much these days (hence 'was'), but she's still alive. She's welcome to kick my arse for that.

Ooooh. I think I am in for a rare treat with this show, looking through the playlist.

Gonna start with the A&E live session that was recorded, then backtrack to the beginning.

I mean wow, this looks like a *fantastic* playlist to dive in to on this, the 42nd day of Spring, the 120th day of the calendar year, the last day of April, and the day be MayDay. What more could I ask for. Thanks Jeffrey
