Folk Alley: Top Music of 2010

How do you play So say we All on android tablet? I click it, & it says undefined!! I already downloaded the app for Android,& it still doesn't let me!!

Posted by Amy Rippy on May 04, 2013.

Another new collection of songs to tap into from a great poet/ singer song writer. When I'm not sure what I'm wanting to listen too, I go to David Francey ... he never fails to put my feet solidly back on the ground.

Posted by Rob in Connemara on May 04, 2013.

Love it . I want a copy for air play on a show I do in Carrboro/Chapell Hill , North Carolina. at WCOM.. Hope it does well for him...I listen to you all the time in my car and at home..If you need a DJ to fill in some space please let me know. I have 17 years with WFSS< NPR. When they got rid of all Bluegrass and Folk music for more JAZZ, I move to WCOM and love it there.. Trying to keep the music alive..

Posted by Sara Barden on May 03, 2013.

I like this album but my two favorties are "Rain" and "Pandora's Box". As a Folk songwriter, Pandora's Box really stands out. It's very much the style I write.

Posted by John Pollock on May 02, 2013.

We have had the utmost pleasure to hear David Francey here at the Port Fairy Folk Festival 3 times over the years. A magnificent story teller in song

Posted by Adrienne in Australia on May 02, 2013.

Very Good and thanks Folk Alley and David.

Posted by Dennis on May 01, 2013.

Thank you FolkAlley for making the gift of David's transcendent music available to us. Can't wait to buy the CD when it comes out. "All lights burning bright!"

A new David Francey CD! Great news and thank you Folk Alley. I picture long spring twilights with great music playing....

Posted by on May 01, 2013.

I know about David Francey because of Folk Alley. Each and every album he releases brings me joy. On this album he sings about his battle with depression, which makes it a very personal album to me. I know I will listen to this album countless times and then go back to it again after I listen to all of his others. I'm lucky enough to have seen him live one time, and to have talked with him after. A wonderful man, a brilliant talent.

Posted by Tom McAdam on May 01, 2013.

The best performer in the world and it's great to hear it all here first. Thanks, Folk Alley - you've just made my day!

Posted by Keith Brindle on May 01, 2013.

There's not a single album by David Francey that I don't absolutely LOVE. This one included! Thank you Folk Alley for sharing it with us! This is a must-add to my collection.

Where's the player? I'm logged into my account and I've clicked the Click HERE to Listen three times and refreshed the page, but the music doesn't appear to be where it should.

Posted by Morgan on February 12, 2013.

If they were playing in my kitchen there'd be a hole in the floor from non-stop toe-tappin'! They are the real deal.

Posted by John on the sunshine coast on February 10, 2013.

keeps reminding me of interesting music from earlier e.g. david bromberg. everytime i think i might be losing interest (and this happens on first listenings) a fantastic guitar break sucks me back in. That just suits me!

Posted by pj on February 09, 2013.

Great music & beautiful cover. Thanks...

Memories of Ian & Sylvia came flood in. Great, just simply great picking too.

Posted by Stitch on February 08, 2013.

Wonderful music. Loved the sound of Pharis's voice ever since the first "Outlaw Social" album. This collection of true folk music plumbs so many levels and really answers the questions of why this kind of music was written to begin with.

Posted by Jay Gottlieb on February 08, 2013.

Love this, it's beautiful.

Posted by darel on February 06, 2013.

Beautiful - thanks!

Posted by Jeff on February 05, 2013.

Really like this band and the new CD BUT cannot find any place online to order it. I usually pre-order from Amazon but can't find it there which is strange. Thanks for any help and a BIG THANKS to Folk Alley for having this to listen to for a week.

Posted by on February 03, 2013.

This is a great compilation of songs! Couldn't just hear it once, played it several times over the past 3 days. Just waiting for it to be released. "Am I Born to Die" and "No Forgotten Man"are very haunting, love them, as well as "Michael Conway". Actually, I could go on about them all.

Posted by John T. on February 02, 2013.

Part Deux- now that the link works- well worth the patience. Creative exploration of music, story telling. Groundwork for an interactive approach to folk music. A definite purchase!

Posted by Hank Stachura on January 31, 2013.

Solas performed this stage show at Celtic Connections Festival In Glasgow, Scotland this month; they were joined by Natalie Hass, Chris Stout and Catriona McKay in a truly memorable experience.

Posted by john donohoe on January 31, 2013.

I have been up all night. Can't sleep. Listening to this new album has helped the night to pass. It's lovely music especially for me in a melancholic mood. Nothing helps me more than a bit of a sad or nostalgic song to raise me spirits. Sign of a true Irish/Scottish man or women, methinks. When in Ireland we sang old Irish songs in the local corner pubs, stomped our feet, and raised a toast to all. It always made me happy. It is a way lost to us in Americay, I think.

Posted by MsLettie on January 31, 2013.

Thanks Folk Alley -- without you, I'd never get this wonderful music here in Bulgaria, either!

Posted by Plamen Panayotov on January 31, 2013.

Rich story, soothing music -- what a joy! Thanks Folk Alley -- without you, I'd never get this wonderful music here in Kenya!

Posted by Chip Kingsbury on January 31, 2013.

Music for me is a background when I am at work, but I found myself focusing on the words and the music of this album. Each song seemed to gently draw me into a rich personal experience offered through melody and story. Very, very nice. I will buy it when it is released. Thank you, Folk Alley, for making the album available. Your support of Solas added greatly to the peace of my afternoon.

Posted by Maggie on January 30, 2013.

I keep trying to click on Solas, "Shamrock City" but nothing happens. I am listening to the regular Music Stream with Barb Heller but when I click on "Solas", nothing changes. Maybe it is because I am listening on my IPad? Tom Harper

Sure stirs the Scotch/Irish blood and a tear to the eyes of this 77 year old!!!

Posted by OscarD on January 30, 2013.

I have every album and have listened intently to them all. This one seems to have a lot of heart. Maybe I'm just projecting because I know the motivation for Seamus, but honestly it sounds like they've put more intention in the melodies and arrangements. Exciting and beautiful! Still!

Posted by Michael on January 30, 2013.

Loved these guys when I lived in Dublin (Greystones to be exact.) Their show at the Greystones Theatre was one of my favorites. Can't wait to listen.

Posted by Durand on January 30, 2013.

We saw Solas in Chicago this past autumn and they previewed a couple of these tunes and told us a few of the stories behind the songs. It is good that the music is coming out soon. Folk Alley and Solas: A tip of the cap for the preview! Classic!

Posted by Steve on January 30, 2013.

Mariel Vandersteel's album "Hickory" is as wonderful as she is!

Posted by Bryan on December 12, 2012.

Mariel Vandersteele's "Hickory" is a great album!

Posted by Doug Oines on December 11, 2012.

Listen to Mariel Vandersteele's "Hickory". It is a great blend of Irish music, the fiddle style of Norway (she plays the Hardanger fiddle) and tunes from Appalachia. She creates a soulful and exciting palate of roots music, which is so very rich in texture.

Posted by shay on December 11, 2012.

Cahalen Morrison & Eli West, it's my fave of the ones I've heard.

Posted by Guy Johnson on December 11, 2012.

Give Cahalen Morrison & Eli West, The James Low Western Front, and Peter Mulvey careful listens and tell me that any of these don't deserve inclusion in the top ten. It seems hard to have great small-scale lesser known acts competing with the Bonnie Raitt's of the world. I'd support some sort of "major artist" "up and comer" distinction.

Posted by Marc on December 11, 2012.

Great list, some real gems in there. Glad to see Phoebe Hunt made the list, her recent CD is awesome, probably why it got there.

Posted by Amy on December 11, 2012.

The Stringdusters 'Silver Sky' is on the list, but it's last because we just added it last week...and our form won't let us sort it with the rest of the 'The' bands)....and yes, Goat Rodeo was last year.

Mary Chapin Carpenter had one of the most mature and heartfelt releases I have heard in ages. To come back from a tough period in her life, both personally and professionally, and to do it at the level she did speaks volumes about the artist. I would like to have a beer or a cup of coffee with Kathleen Edwards, I don't think that's too much to ask.

In fact, dare I say that it is the best album I've heard in years (and I listen to a lot of music). Thank you, Iris, for sharing your joy, your pain, your love, your heartache- all of your life experiences with us. You and Ferron are the two most underrated songwriters that exist today!

Carrie is a local heroine of mine. Her clear, lovely, poetry and gentle tunes are the perfect evocation of the real Midwest spirit. Which is a fancy way of saying I've been a fan for a while and this collection has gathered some of my most loved songs. Thanks for this album. I not only enjoyed it, I intend to share that enjoyment.

Now when are you going to cover and stream the great Philadelphia Folk Festival? You have 348 days to plan for its 52nd fest in 2013.

Posted by moondingo on August 24, 2012.

When I first heard her song, "The Dozens," I fell in love with Caroline Herring! Her voice and her presentation add up to magic as well as some deep sense of what is going on internally. There is a deep honesty about her songs and even her interpretation of the songs of others. Here, she shines brighter than that "White Dress"! Keep shining on me . . . .

Posted by Anyse on August 22, 2012.

Posted by Brian on August 22, 2012.

A brilliant album - Caroline's best, and that's saying a lot. I'm anxious to read the lyrics and see if they read like poetry as much as they sound like poetry. Caroline Herring and Kate Campbell as true chroniclers of the South, every much as William Faulkner and Harper Lee.

Posted by Tracey Arpen on August 21, 2012.

I've been a fan of Caroline Herring since I heard her CD "Wellspring" and "Camilla" is another winner! Beautifully written songs. Thanks for sharing Folk Alley!

Update for Eliot et al. Some of the audio from Newport 2012 IS downloadable at the NPR site. (At least I spelled downloadable correctly this time.) Call me thrilled, since I missed the simulcast this year. Now the question is whether (or why not) Folk Alley will cover the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the longest-running, continuous folk festival in North America. (Newport took a break.) Since 1962, this year is the 51st festival and the 50th anniversary of the first (even if Gene Shay won't get that right from the main stage.)

Thank you Folk Alley for a sneak preview of this wonderful new CD. The Stray Birds are awesome! Looking forward to the arrival of the CD and to their next concert in my area.

Posted by Gail Watts on July 21, 2012.

Nothing like competence, A minimalistic approach with great voice, harmony and musicianship. I think they call that good music. Well done!!!!!

Posted by David McElroy on July 21, 2012.

nice! very nice! very very nice! i like 'em a lot; big fan of The Be Good Tanyas so it follows i'm gonna like Stray Birds just nicely! ;)* thanx for the stream!

Thanks FolkAlley, another great preview, and another CD added to my collection

Can I just say...thank you...what a pleasent surprise to hear good vibes from the souls of angels.. :)...

Posted by Michael Woodknott on July 20, 2012.

I'm just sorry that "Birds of the Borderline" isn't on this cd. I can't imagine why they left it out. It's such a beautiful song.

Posted by Diane on July 19, 2012.

What a wonderful debut album!

Posted by Carl on July 19, 2012.

These guys are fantastic! Amazing cd.

Posted by Amy on July 19, 2012.

Great music! Looking forward to seeing The Stray Birds in Saranac Lake this October!

hey folks, We had our local Woody Guthrie celebration on Saturday. About 60 people showed, and it went on for almost 2 hours. Seeing as we're in a all-but-forgotten corner of Israel, 60 is a decent crowd. It was an excellent day! It's amazing how relevant his songs still are - anywhere in the wirld.

Posted by mark linton on July 16, 2012.

Looking forward to the Woody Fest show at the City Winery in New York City tomorrow night--Friday.

Posted by John Foster on July 12, 2012.

Posted by moondingo on July 10, 2012.

This is dynamite. Any chance you could post a playlist of this stream? I'm just getting into folk and I'd love to be able to find the songs on this again.

Posted by HokeH on July 10, 2012.

This is just fantastic! Reminds one just how far-reaching Woody's influence is, still. Thanks for making this available!

Posted by Lyle Bogart on July 07, 2012.

Nevermind. The album comes out today, so the free preview is no longer available.

Posted by Craig on June 26, 2012.

Near the Top of the page is the link to the Album. It says "CLICK HERE to LISTEN".

I also just see the blank space

Posted by UUCowboy on June 25, 2012.

How come when I does the page just show a blank space where the player ought to be? I'd love to listen, but it doesn't seem to be an option.

Mindy's voice could melt Dick Cheney's heart, and who can blame her for moving toward the mainstream and making some money, but this is pretty tame and predictable. I like the edgy and uncertain songs of her past records better.

Posted by Steve on June 23, 2012.

I love this girl. She sings so well with such clear tone and emotion. Looking forward to buying the album and singing along. One of my favorites for sure!

Posted by rhansme on June 22, 2012.

Wow! Just heard you for the first time - listened to all the songs on the new album. Moving, real lyrics that carried me along. I agree with Tracy about "Everything Will Be Fine". For those of us who have lost parents to old age, this songs really hits home. Can't be done better. Thank you.

Posted by on June 22, 2012.

I, also, just learned about you through Folk Alley and became a fan as soon as your voice entered the mix, pouring forth words of life and light. It melts my heart into my soul. The guitar work speaks, with clear, harmonious, affirmation, in support of your story. Thank you for sharing your gift, with us, Mindy. You're a blessing to my ears! ~DC

Posted by Doug Clare on June 22, 2012.

I've never heard Mindy Smith and I clicked on "Everything Will Be Fine," and immediately started crying. What a powerful song. To release your mom by assuring her that her children are strong and will carry on. Just so gut-wrenchingly sad and uplifting at the same time. Thank you, Mindy. Thank you Folk Alley for turning me on to this artist. - Tracy

Posted by Tracy Newman on June 22, 2012.

I've said this before and I'm sure I'll always say it: Mindy Smith has a voice I could marry. Hearing these new tunes proves it once again. Thanks Ms. Smith for showing the world that being independent doesn't mean having less talent. If anything you're helping indie artists prove that the artist should control the content and quality. This truly is your finest work.

Posted by Jav Rivera on June 20, 2012.

Another fabulous find. Thanks!

Posted by John on June 13, 2012.

Another good one from Chris Smither to add to the collection -- thanks Chris, and thanks Folk Alley for letting us "hear it first"!

What a delight this album is! Thank you for making it available. . .

Posted by Lyle on June 03, 2012.

Upon my first listen this is a great album with a superb cast of characters singing amazing songs ; of course with Rodney one can always expect greatness , with his his "novelist's eye" & his dreamy voice & melodies . I never tire of his music & remain a big admirer of his talent & his ability to surround himself with others that complement him to make a group effort like this so enchanting .

We saw them at the Newport Folk Festival. Truly wonderful, including the encore on the main stage.

Dala never fails to amaze me. I have yet to see them in person, however I heard they did well at the Norfolk Folk Festival.

Posted by Ross on May 23, 2012.

I have seen them a number of times over the last 4 or 5 years. Their live sets are amazing and they are incredibly personable performers. Genuinely nice and incredibly talented. Can't wait to see them again.

Posted by Ray on May 23, 2012.

It is hard to get good music here in Rwanda that is nice to listen to when you need to work in very trying situations. This is a type of the old folk music that seemed to be lost so many years ago. It is hard to always listen due to internet and electricity problems but Folk Alley you always comes through. I hope DA and LA will always follow your dreams because your sound now says you are. Thanks

Posted by Bill on May 23, 2012.

Doesn't sound like Folk Music to me!

Posted by Marv on May 22, 2012.

Never heard of this group but, from the first listen, I was (and am) completely HOOKED! I've listened through the entire album and am completely enthralled. I'll be waiting by the virtual record store for this release. Thanks Folk Alley!

Listening to Emmylou sing "I Didn't Know it Was You" brought tears to my eyes. The sweetest voice singing a song with so much power. I feel blessed, that's for sure.

Rod Picott is one of the great songwriters of a generation. Great pick featuring him. Great sound quality on the songs you recorded. Going to listne to Gretchen next, then Jimmy.

I have to say I am very surprised that Matraca Berg's new CD The Dreaming Fields did not get a mention????? Whilst I have several of the CD mentioned and they are all good....The Dreaming Fields surpasses most.

Nice country tunes. I'm a late Terence Martin fan. So I've got used to his sad lyrics. But there're happy lyrics here in this album. I like it very much.

HI All, Not a frequent user of this site have to admit but sometimes I wander in here. No so familiarize with Darrell Scott but he has a beautiful voice and a great song writer. Was reading his biography, and of his dad tragic passing. And I had pleasure of meeting Tim O'Brien (whom I happen to note play on Darrell's CD) in Dingle, Co Kerry, Ireland where I am from, He gave a wondering 2 hours solo gig in Tommy O'Sullivan's Courthouse Pub in Dingle (small intimate bar, filled with music 7 nights a week) a few days ago. It was a special and memorable treat Another multi instrumental and talented guy..and thanks Folk Alley for the work you do.

Posted by Tony Clarke on January 28, 2012.

I saw Darrell at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion last fall and his Sunday morning performance brought a tear to my eye. This recording takes me back there. Exquisit writing and musical performances. Thank you Darrell and thank you Folk Alley.

Posted by Chef Dave on January 25, 2012.

Some absolutely sublime stuff here!!! Especially like the duet with Guy Clark, and the piece by Darryl's Dad.

Posted by Michael on January 25, 2012.

Im from wales, i love writing songs. I love Darrell's work! he is everything i aspire to . He is an incredibly talented multi instrumentalist with a beautiful emotive voice and a way with lyrics that bears comparison with so many great poets.

Resolution by Dougie MacLean, really good album. Also Anna Elias and the Forlorn Hope, The Valleys in the Flatlands (import from UK): Amazing and very cool album! Not so much a vote as a recommendation to check her and Karine Polwart (This Earthly Spell) out.

Posted by Bob Lindeman on December 31, 2011.

A top release omitted from this list is Florida's Grant Peeples. His 2011 release is called "Okra and Eccliastes", recorded with Gurf Morlix. Grant's 3rd album exhibits strong songwriting skills and a delivery that demands that you pay attention.

I'm a very fortunate man. I was gifted this little luxury of music and the want of observation - Now to turn around and see a number of folks waving and following, within some good proximity, and in fairly close agreement with what I see, is without cliche' and in all sincerity, amazing. Thank you. I will see you all down the road. A very special thank you to everyone at Folk Alley for sharing this music and my songs with everyone on the planet. I am looking forward to drifting through your neighborhood again very soon. With all my heart, I am truly grateful. xoxoxo Jeff

I first heard of Jeff through his friend Sam Bush. Sam has covered several of Jeff's songs over the years. After listening through twice, my fave so far is "Cure".

Been following Jeff's music for quite a few years now, he just keeps getting better. You wouldn't regret buying this record.

Posted by Kerry on November 16, 2011.

His best record yet. How could he not miss with a supporting cast of Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Kim Richey, Matraca Berg and Gretchen Peters? Oh, and the songs are pretty good, too. Well done, Jeff! Now get your butt up to Kent so we can hear these songs live (please?)!

Amy and Emily, you brought me back to folk music with your first album. Now years later, you still excite me with your music and amazing voices. Wonderful album!

Posted by Keith in Dayton, Ohio on September 28, 2011.

I usually try to wait for the album before I listen, but I couldn't make it to October 4. I love this record! There is a new style of music and accompaniment, with some of the same themes that we depend on the IG for, love, loss, caring about the world in which we live. What we would do without Indigo Girls art and insight?

Posted by Lynne W. on September 28, 2011.

"i want to understand the soul you have in there. . . " That one is also brilliant, "war rugs" ok now i'm going to sleep.

This album is amazing. I just sat in my studio with the lights out and 2 candles burning and listened to the entire album without interruption. Amy and Emily are an eternal candle of inspiration for so many. The writing and storytelling is masterful. They are lyrical and musical magicians. Can you tell I like this album. "birthday song" brought me to tears, the kind that come from the wonder of such artistic purity.

I don't know about others but this was a disaster for me. The stream, while still active, went silent at midafternoon on Sunday. I missed almost everything. And I can't find archives anywhere. I hope there will be some. Newport was a much smoother experience both in the live stream and the immediately available archives. Why didn't you team with NPR on this event?

Hi, I am listening to your festival live stream from Basel, Switzerland and I like it a lot! Thanks for broadcasting the music! Be blessed, Andi

Listening from San Miguel de Allende, MX. Since we don't get much non-Mexican folk music here, this is heaven!! Thank you
