Anna & Elizabeth live on WFMU recorded April 2, 2018, engineered by Irene Trudel |
||||||||||
Anna & Elizabeth | (interview) | (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 | (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 | (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 | (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) | (live on WFMU) | Their website: https://www.annaandelizabeth.com/ | 2:24:27 (Pop-up) | ||||||
Anna & Elizabeth | Here in the Vineyard | (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) | (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 | (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) | (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 | (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) | ||||||

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
