Continuing to effortlessly distill the sounds and traditions of Southern Appalachia, the British Isles, and the rolling ranch land of their rural Saskatchewan home, second cousins Kacy Anderson and Clayton Linthicum return with The Siren’s Song. Their fourth long-player and second with a backing band – this time comprised of their touring outfit, Shuyler Jansen (bass) and Mike Silverman (drums) – production of the album was helmed by Jeff Tweedy and recorded in Chicago at Wilco’s Loft studio.

Nice last dregs of summer listening

The 12-string guitarist Sarah Louise and fiddler Sally Anne Morgan braid the natural connection between traditional Appalachian folk music and modern composition.

Slow Caledonia

Something special for you today – an amazing mix of 1970s music from New Caledonia, lovingly compiled by Michael Klausman. Michael is an ever-reliable source of new and wonderful sounds, and Slow Caledonia is no exception. (I’ll admit that I had to look up where exactly New Caledonia is).

Klaus sez: Spent a bunch of hours on YouTube recently fishing the best folk/rock songs I could find from the Melanesian island of New Caledonia, all sourced from cassettes released in the seventies. Some insane harmonies here, very beautiful music IMO, & seemingly little known.

Little known is right – there’s really very little info about most of these artists out there on the ‘net, at least that I can find. But the songs speak for themselves. Slow Caledonia is a pure hit of sunshine for your winter weekend.

Steve Gunn, Daniel Bachman, Lee Ranaldo, Susan Alcorn and Chris Corsano all appear on this double-album tribute to Bruce Langhorne's secretly influential 1971 soundtrack for The Hired Hand.
