" H O L Y * L A N D " timely track from Dana Edelman

 

Holy Land by Dana Edelman  
(download)

Dana Edelman performed on the show back in August of 2006 here in Portland, Maine  along with his good friend and fellow musician (living in Maine) Rob Duquette, shortly after this album hit the streets, even then  this track was a standout due to content timeliness and, of course; here we go again. I asked if I could post this tune specificaly since  I keep hearing it in my head when i am watching the news from Gaza & Israel, he said yes please share it. 

BTW the track comes from the album Mile 23 on Segue Records and can be purchased HERE

If you do not know Dana Edelman here's a more recent video piece that a music video pro, now instructor put together with his students. It's really well cut together, masterful piece of videography with great sound too, with, as you will hear, a poignant lyric.

Thanks Dana!

"C'mon in my Kitchen" David Jacobs-Strain (resonator guitar) live on Us Folk

C'mon In My Kitchen (Robt Johnson) by David Jacobs - Strain  
(download)

Friday November 7th 2008 the very adept guitarist David Jacobs-Strain came into the studio and played the guitar like no one I'd seen do it before ( & I've see me some guitar players) he was doing chiropractic "moves" on the resonator guitar ('looked like he was going to break it's back!) a very innovative player, the piece starts out a bit faint but sure catches up.

His rendition of the Robert Johnson classic recorded  @ WMPG studio on Us Folk. His flourishes were like I'd neverheard. I did shoot some video of it (remote camera) so soon I'll checking out that footage and  drop this sound onto it and post to vimeo & here. David has a new Album; Liar's Day he did with two veteran players Kenny Passarelli (Otis Taylor, Stephen Stills), who's also featured on the bass. They're joined by Joe Vitale on drums. David is one of those players who breathes new fire, blood & life into the blues and already @ an early age  many consider an American master.

In honor of Veteran's Day on November 11, Elana James , vocalist and fiddler
for the Hot Club of Cowtown is releasing "Hey Beautiful." The lyrics are,
simply, a letter written by US Army Staff Sgt. Juan Campos (1979-2007) - one
of the last written to his wife from Iraq.  Elana read Campos's words in the
appeared in March 2008 as part of excerpts from e-mail messages, journals
and web postings of six soldiers who have died in Iraq since January 1,
2007.  Elana was moved by this letter in particular, and was inspired to put
his words to music. "Hey Beautiful" is the letter just as Campos wrote it
(though it has been edited slightly for length).  It is available as a free
