Modern Folk Quartet: Chip Douglas, Cyrus Faryar, Jerry Yester, Tad Diltz.Liner Note Author: Richie Unterberger.With their first self-titled collection having received considerable lauds from peers and critics alike, the Modern Folk Quartet -- consisting of Cyrus Faryar (guitar, vocals), Henry "Tad" Diltz (banjo, vocals), Chip Douglas (bass, banjo, guitar, ukulele, bells, vocals), and Jerry Yester (guitar, vocal, cymbals) -- cut their 1964 follow-up, Changes, with an ear toward sustaining the fresh sound of their predecessor. Once again, they blend their arrangements and adaptations to another impressive lineup of modern compositions from the group's contemporaries. The hearty gospel-influenced opener, "Sing Out," sets the pace for a further slew of refreshing and spirited selections. Lee Hays of the Almanac Singers, Weavers, and Baby Sitters fame is the source for the midtempo down-and-outer "Time's a Getting' Hard," featuring an exceptional example of Douglas' reserved yet potent basslines. Phil Ochs' "The B

Audio Mixer: Mike Mogis.Recording information: ARC, Omaha, NE; Shangri-La Studio, Malibu, CA; Type Foundry, Portland, OR.Photographer: Butch Hogan.When M. Ward, Mike Mogis, Jim James, and Conor Oberst announced plans to record together, fans were quick to link the supergroup to the Traveling Wilburys, who blazed a similarly star-studded path 20 years prior. Truth be told, Monsters of Folk's emphasis on harmony vocals and atmospheric arrangements has just as much in common with the work of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, even if the political concerns that grounded the latter group are largely absent here. Instead, the self-titled MONSTERS OF FOLK tackles religion, nature, love, and lust, with all four songwriters sharing vocals and songwriting duties. Mogis, who rose to prominence by playing a central but somewhat surreptitious role in Bright Eyes, receives slightly less screen time than the others, preferring instead to remain behind the scenes as producer and sideman. Even so, his guitar solo during "Say Plea

... Read more
Consisting mainly of Chicago takes from the early to mid 1950s, More Real Folk Blues is titled like a companion to Real Folk Blues but covers a different time period. That's not exactly a bad thing; there's some great stuff on this CD, from the rollicking, almost-off-the-tracks "Just My Kind" to the sensual rocking of "I Have a Little Girl." Sure, the sound quality's not the best, but the loose, relaxed "You Can't Be Beat" and the opening harmonica line on "I Love My Baby" are worth listening for. The highlight of this CD, however, is definitely "I'll Be Around." With its heavy beat and vocals loud enough to overpower everything else, this song has a slow menace that makes it easy to understand how the Wolf could terrify his live audiences. --Genevieve Williams

The Like: Z. Berg (vocals, guitar); Charlotte Froom (vocals, bass instrument); Tennessee Thomas (vocals, drums).Released in 2005, ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING? is the debut album from the Like, an all-female indie rock trio. There is a gleaming, dreamy feel to the album (helped along by the fine production of Wendy Melvoin) as the group crosses over from edgy rock to folky, harmony-soaked ambience to stripped-down indie swirl over the course of the album's 13 songs. Though the bandmembers were still quite young at the time of the album's release, ARE YOU THINKING represents a confidence and poise that belies their years.

The Basics: Produced by Janis Ian. Musicians: Jim Brock, Janis Ian, Viktor Krauss, Carson Whitsett and a cast of friends who can't sing in tune. Inside Scoop: First album since "Restless Eyes" with no co-writes, "FINB" is a return to Janis' folk roots. However, this is not a lighthearted nostalgia trip, but instead a true folk album: sparse but tasteful instrumentation underneath powerful lyrics of social and political social commentary, with enough variety to keep the listener beguiled. A must have.

Translators: Irène Rognier; Isaac Gómez Martel.World Music Network's Rough Guide to English Folk delivers 15 cuts from up-and-coming contemporary folk artists along with a pair of songs from two of the genre's legends. Concerning the latter, the Shirley Collins and Bob & Ron Copper offerings, as good as they are, seem a tad out of place here, especially considering the genre's heavily populated 21st century rebirth (a track from someone like Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, the Smoke Fairies, or the Unthanks would have fit nicely). That said, the collection is pretty solid, casting a wide net over the scene and reeling in some gems from the likes of vaudevillian folk collective Bellowhead ("Yarmouth Town"), spooky Glastonbury-based singer/songwriter/concertina player Emily Portman ("Tongue-Tied"), and multi-talented fiddler and Northumbrian small pipes player Kathryn Tickell ("Wedding/Because He Was a Bonny Lad"). A bonus disc, The Rough Guide to Coope, Boyes & Simpson, is also included, and features 14 classic E

Formed in 1958, the members of the Highwaymen made no bones about the fact they played folk music simply because they liked it without much thought of a career -- they opted to finish their senior year in college rather than play

Putumayo's Best of Folk Music: Contemporary Folk collection makes a strong case for the genre's mid-'90s heydays with outstanding cuts from big names like Mary Black ("Past the Point of Rescue"), Indigo Girls ("Hammer and Nail"), and Joan Baez ("Play Me Backwards"), but it's the lesser-known artists such as Cliff Eberhardt ("My Father's Shoes") and Kristen Hall ("Out in the Country") who make this 13-track compilation a pretty astute starter kit for anybody with even the slightest bit of interest in the burgeoning contemporary folk scene. ~ James Christopher Monger

Includes a 96 page hardbound book with essays by Ed Sanders, John Cohen, Dick Spottswood, John Fahey and Greil Marcus.Digitally remastered by Dave Glasser (Airshow Mastering, Boulder, Colorado).Photographers: Allen Ginsberg; John Palmer.Legendary filmmaker/cultural icon Harry Smith (1923-1991) was the living definition of the term "culture vulture." Smith pioneered animation in film and associated with everyone from Jean-Luc Goddard to Billie Holliday and Jimmy Page, and in the early 1950's compiled the six-volume ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC for Folkways Records. This collection's aim was to document the entire continuum of American roots music in all its diversity. It succeeded fabulously (and helped sparked the folk boom of the '50s and '60s). After 50-odd years, Revenant in conjunction with the Harry Smith Archives has released VOLUME FOUR.This two-CD set details the beginnings of both 20th century country music and bluegrass (The Blue Sky Boys' "Down on the Banks of the Ohio") as well as their roots
