Willi Carlisle & Golden Shoals Live Show Review: 2/9, Schubas, Chicago

From left to right: Grady Drugg, Willi Carlisle, Sophie Mae Wellington

BY JORDAN MAINZER

For Willie Carlisle and Golden Shoals, playing live is both an opportunity to share the stories behind the songs and the stories behind the band itself. Both the Fayetville, Arkansas singer-songwriter and Nashville-based folk duo work outside the machinations of the mainstream country scene but are intimately aware of it. Their songs, though, have the perfectly classic country mix of truth and legend, tales of living outdoors and the ills of late capitalism seamlessly weaving the rawness of reality with the showmanship of exaggeration. Their show at Schubas on Friday exemplified what they do best.

Carlisle delivered a triumphant set balancing his new album Critterland (Signature Sounds) with back catalog favorites. Accompanied by guitarist Grady Drugg and fiddler Sophie Mae Wellington (who also showed off her flatfoot dancing skills), Carlisle contextualized his songs with his personal history and ethos. When he started playing music, Carlisle traveled the country with his banjo, sleeping in his van or outside, including in Millennium Park and under the Clark Street Bridge. He busked in Mariano Park; like a tried and true flaneur with a flair for the colloquial, on Friday, he referred to Mariano Park what we Chicagoans call it: the Viagra Triangle. To Carlisle, though, these days, a song like "The Van Life" from 2022's Peculiar, Missouri is less biography and more a recognition of, as Carlisle put it, "the failure of the American left," the crisis of the unhoused, and immoral eviction laws.

Carlisle & Wellington

With so much weight behind his songs, it would be easy for Carlisle to fall victim to overexplaining. However, I found his banter essential, just as much a part of the show as the songs themselves. Take a song like "The Great Depression". Carlisle knows that giving a song that title while adopting even a bit of an old-timey aesthetic conjures thoughts of stock market crashes, John Steinbeck, and Woody Guthrie. To hear that it's really about epigenetics, and the passing down of not just generational trauma but the love of song, was revelatory, and made me appreciate it even more as a folk tune. When Carlisle played "The Arrangements" for his father, his father apparently replied, "I didn't know you knew your grandfather that well." Carlisle clarified that both his grandfather and father were good dads, adding a layer of complexity to it all; as a result of our actions, what we pass down, up, or to the side is not always so clear-cut.

During his set, Carlisle mentioned the paradox of "authentic" country music in 2024: After all, those who claim to be authentic are, as he noted, rehashing the very concept of authenticity. What was more important on Friday was a sense of audience or listener inclusion, true to the spirit of the punk music he grew up on or the folk music he's adopted. Hoedown "Boy Howdy, Hot Dog!" and Gospel-style main set closer "Your Heart's a Big Tent" inspired not just singalongs but stomp-alongs. And a show-stopping a capella performance of Critterland closer "The Money Grows on Trees" quieted the crowd to a state of rapture, save for what will be Carlisle's eternal outlaw chorus. ("Oh, hippies, hillbillies, won't you gather 'round? / A good man murdered, a bad man drowned / The cops are all moonshiners now / But the money grows on trees / Yeah, the money grows on trees.") The stories from an area of Northern Arkansas where, according to Carlisle, rumors fly and can rival network TV, may not be, for lack of a better word, authentic. But Carlisle knows, even on mostly true story "Higher Lonesome", that relying on our memory is not always the best way to be an effective troubadour, or even to get at the core veracity of life.

Golden Shoals' Amy Alvey & Mark Kilianski

Golden Shoals' two members came from contrasting backgrounds, and like Carlisle, they apply a punk spirit to folk music. Fiddle player Amy Alvey, from California, met guitarist and banjoist Mark Kilianski, from New Jersey, at Berklee College of Music in 2008. (Kilianski first picked up a guitar so he could learn Limp Bizkit's everlasting dumbass anthem "Break Stuff".) They started playing together in 2013 and touring full-time in 2016. Each member brings their distinct experiences into the Golden Shoals songs they write and sing. Many of the tunes could be country-folk standards, like Kilianski's rollicking "(Who'da Thought) Thinkin' About The Good Times (Could Ever Make You Feel So Bad)" and weary tale of hitchhiker's luck "Coffee in the Morning". Alvey is a rapt observer of place. On the as-yet-unreleased "Everybody's a Somebody", she sang about the "kind of famous" people in Nashville, squinting hard enough to see whether that truly is Orville Peck and Sierra Ferrell sitting at the bar at the American Legion. Another new song detailed the changes permeating Fredericksburg, VA, a city she's never called home but visited many times. The chosen details ranged from evidence of gentrification to "the Bachmans buried their favorite dog," which, yes, is a reference to the family of Daniel Bachman.

Kilianski

Alvey's "Bitter", co-written with Rachel Baiman, came to light after Spotify ghoul/CEO Daniel Ek basically insinuated that working musicians need to release new music every week in order to compete in the market. Though the irony was not lost on Alvey that the song is available to stream on Spotify, the band found a way to pivot: they've now been selling homemade bitters as part of their merch. It seemed like a metaphor for the night's bill. The music that artists like Carlisle and Golden Shoals make may never again be "popular," and it's not more--gulp--authentic because it's not popular. But it adapts within the hell-world, and finds strength in its own spirit and the reception of those who may find some validity in the stories for themselves.

Questions because I'm curious! What is your 'holy grail' doll to collect? Have you ever tried making a whole doll from scratch? What's your favourite part of doll restoration? What are your favourite haunts for doll hunting? What doll collectors/restorers do you admire most? And lastly, if you could go back to any period(s?) to get a doll when it was new, what time period(s?) would you go to

Ooooh doll questions! let's go!

Holy grail doll to collect. I already have at least one of them- a late 1860s French fashion doll with an articulated wooden body. She survived the fire and I love her even more for it; her name is Leonore. A few "wouldn't be nice" dolls I don't have yet include:

Antique 18th-century English wooden doll (I have a lovely repro at the moment, Amy)

Simon and Halbig 1159 lady doll

A wax fashion doll. I lost all of mine in the fire, unfortunately

Lenci boudoir doll

Miniature china-headed doll with an articulated wooden body

A Black French fashion doll (SUPER rare, but they did exist)

2. Have I ever made a doll from scratch? Yes, out of polymer clay with jewelry headpins baked in to string her together. She was floppy and had anime eyes drawn on with Sharpie. Not the most successful experiment.

3. Favorite part of doll restoration? Cleaning. They just look so much happier after a bath!

4. Favorite doll-hunting haunts? EBay. Sadly, one doesn't come across the sort of doll I collect in the wild much anymore, though I've had some luck with French fashion doll clothes at the Brimfield Antiques Fair.

5. Admired doll collectors/restoration artists? My friend and Amy's maker, Paul Robinson. Michael Canadas and David Robinson. Kathy Libraty (also a friend- a dealer who does restoration). Illiandra Alvey (another friend). Samy Odin. Kat Davies. Bradley Justice Yarborough (a LOT of these are people I'm friends with). Linda Wall.

6. Time travelling to get a doll when new? 18th-century English wooden. Unless you get VERY lucky, they retail for like $20K right now- the pretty ones in decent condition, that is.

Or an Albert Marque doll, to sell and make like $300K off of.

Review: Golden Shoals Rebrands and Finds New Creative Ground on Self-Titled Debut

Golden Shoals may officially be a new band, but in reality they are anything but. The duo of Amy Alvey and Mark Kilianski has been touring and recording for the past seven years as Hoot and Holler, after graduating together from the prestigious Berklee College of Music and bonding over their shared love of traditional folk music. The rebranding to Golden Shoals, and the release of their self-titled debut, has not only allowed them to differentiate from the numerous other local “Hoot and Holler” acts in the musical world, but also to expand their traditional two-man fiddle, banjo, and guitar sound to include other elements.

The biggest change fans of the group will notice is the addition of Landon George, who adds upright bass and drums, and the duo's own addition of electric guitar and organs to add a hybrid country-rock element to their familiar stripped down backyard jam style. The best use of these new elements comes from album highlight “Sittin' Pretty.” It starts off with just an acoustic guitar and Alvey's voice, adding just a hint of electric guitar twang that, along with the drum, builds slowly until by the end of the song they are in full rock and roll band mode. But the real draw of “Sittin' Pretty” is in the lyrics and in Alvey's vocal delivery. In it, Alvey reflects on being an itinerant musician, somewhat removed from a world that includes school shootings, rural job losses, inability to take maternity leave due to the lack of economic security, hurricanes, and a “madman in the White House beggin' for war.”

That entity is invoked again in the moody “Brood of Hate.” Anchored by a dark banjo lick by Kilianski and augmented by Alvey's haunting fiddle weaving in and out. Lyrically, it's by far the darkest thing on the album, and one that is full of quotable lyrics. To that end, it's now a “monster in the White House, and he's doing his very best to bonify his bankroll and hide his hollow breast.” But this isn't simply a protest song but one that turns its eye to society as a whole. As Kilianski notes at one point “The specter of the working man's savior is a bold and boisterous lie. Everybody wants to meet Jesus Christ, but nobody wants to die.”

But it's not all darkness and protest. The majority of Golden Shoals is delivered in an uptempo old time reel, enhanced with flourishes of Western swing. On “Everybody's Singing”, the duo strings together recycled lyrics from overused country and folk standards to poke gentle fun at the glut of oddball musicians wearing cowboy boots and white jumpsuits while presenting yet another rendition of “Wagon Wheel”, or a bluegrass band presenting the hits of the '80s.

On “New Friend”, Alvey turns to lover's betrayal trope on its ear, learning an old flame has taken up with her close friend. Instead of turning it into a country stereotype full of tears in beers and damp pillows, Alvey notes her good luck in learning the true personality of both individuals and finally being able to cleanse them from her life.

Throughout, Golden Shoals remains true to the old-time folk that brought them a fanbase while evolving in a way that allows them to experiment with new sounds. As you'd expect from two Berklee graduates, the one thing that hasn't changed at all is the strong instrumental work from both members, and how seamlessly they incorporate Landon George like he's always been there. As a debut album from a not technically debut band, it ticks all of the marks fans of roots music should be looking for. Experimentation is the cure for stagnation and with this album, Golden Shoals has given themselves a vaccination that should ward off the dread disease of staleness for years to come.

After destructive fire, officials say historic KCK church bell tower had to come down

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — An historic church that has stood in Kansas City, Kansas’ Argentine neighborhood for 133 years sustained heavy damage last Tuesday following a massive fire.

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County/KCK said extensive damage to St. John the Devine Catholic Church, caused by the fire, has created a public safety risk and the bell tower’s structure integrity had been lost and that it must come down.

“Saying goodbye to a community treasure is never easy,” the UG posted on their Facebook page. The UG said the church on Metropolitan Avenue played a significant role in the social and religious community of Argentine for more than 100 years.

Argentine neighbors lament loss of historic KCK church building destroyed in fire

“There were several additions and renovations over the years, but the really amazing thing is that it survived both the 1903 and 1951 floods,” said Amy Loch with the Unified Government’s Wyandotte County Museum.

The iconic bell tower was erected during a major renovation between 1909 and 1913. In 1937, the church was acquired by the Catholic Diocese as a mission and used by the community for weddings, fiestas, quinceañeras, reflection, inspiration, and education until its closure in 1990. Deconstruction took place Saturday. The UG said the contractor responsible for removing the bell tower had been instructed to save no less than 100 bricks, signage and other significant pieces for preservation.

The director of the Wyandotte County Museum in Bonner Springs toured the site and provided a list of items they believe should be preserved. The UG said they would provide an update on the preserved items at a later date.

Fire engulfs 133-year-old KCK church listed on National Register of Historic Places

The church, built in 1887, was added to the National Register of Historic Places, a list of places worthy of preservation authorized by the federal government, in 2013.

According to the register’s website, the church has “served as the centerpiece of religious life for the Mexican American Catholic community of the Argentine for at least 50 years.” Surviving several major floods, the building “was maintained and adorned by its parishioners, reflecting vernacular Mexican and Spanish art and culture.”

I am saddened by the loss of this religious and cultural treasure in the Argentine community. We had great hopes to make St. John the Divine a center to sustain the heritage of our Mexican-American community. We must now find a new avenue to accomplish that.” said Wyandotte County Mayor David Alvey.

Willi Carlisle Live Preview: 2/9, Schubas, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

The critters in Willi Carlisle's Critterland (Signature Sounds) aren't just varmints like the one that graces the album's absurd cover, nor the two-headed lamb "too strange to survive." They're anybody--human or otherwise--considered an outcast by the unrealistic standards set forth by society. On his Darrell Scott-produced third album, Carlisle digs into his own personal history and local mythology to paint a picture of an American south that pits the freaks against each other, and where those who dare to be different nonetheless find kinship in one another. With a pared-down instrumental arsenal (most songs contain just acoustic guitar, banjo, steel guitar, and/or harmonica), Carlisle's ramshackle delivery and utmost longing stand tall and beckon you to sing along.

On Critterland, Carlisle gives you anthems right from the start. The album's title track, based on an attempt at living in an intentional community in Arkansas, celebrates those "makin' wagers on the critters that we see crossing the road;" led by propulsive banjo, the song soars in the chorus with celebratory harmonica and expansive steel guitar. Purportedly, Carlisle wanted to let loose on the record, inspired by the ragged rambunctiousness of his live show, and you can see "Critterland" becoming a set highlight for the rest of his career. Critterland is far from a fists-in-the-air record, though. Many songs tackle substance abuse, addiction, and suicide with a mix of earnestness, dark humor, and self-awareness. On the gorgeously finger-picked "The Arrangements", the narrator can't take too much joy in the fact that his horrible father has met his maker, as he's beginning to see himself in his dad, ultimately leading himself to think, "It's still sad when bad men die." "Higher Lonesome", the album's only completely true story, sees a drug-addled Carlisle at first "dreamin' of a country I saw at the rodeo," mistaken in his quest for non-existent perfection. As the song progresses, he toys with his own mortality: "See, I don't want to hit rock bottom, just to see how deep it goes / Shine a light on six feet under so I ain't afraid to go." Eventually, he joins AL-Anon and realizes the pain he's inflicted on himself and others, and his penchant for soul-crushing wordplay shines brightest: "With every coin the joiners get, they're farther from the pain of it / All the hurting that we did, it's a shame no coin'll pay for it."

Carlisle certainly knows how to start a song and hook you. He'll pay tribute to a friend who committed suicide and whose body was never found because his note used words too complex for the cops to understand. His immediate vocal harmonies with Jude Brothers on "I Want No Children" catalyze a fiddle-and-banjo instant folk classic. And as soon as 7-minute spoken word closer "The Money Grows on Trees" begins, you know you're in for Carlisle at his troubadour best, showcasing the lyrical dexterity of your favorite rapper. It's "When the Pills Wear Off", though, that devastates all the way through. "Father forgive me for what I have done / Drove 200 miles for six inches of love," he sings, placing you in a world of neon-lit bars and dingy motels. But the song's big reveal, from both an emotional, plot, and instrumental standpoint breaks you. "It's selfish to fall for yourself in someone," Carlisle opines, the other side of the coin of the mourning narrator of "The Arrangements", before continuing, "I know that I want him and always will / I don't think he could have known that it was fentanyl." At the moment he names the deadly drug, the song's plaintive piano and cinematic strings squeak and warble to a clumsy stop, as if to emulate a life cut short. When the "The Money Grows on Trees" ends--it's a song based on David Mac's When Money Grew on Trees, firsthand accounts of a weed moonshiner and the corrupt sheriff that allowed him to do it--it's clear that Carlisle's use of regional history is far from mere aesthetic cosplay like it is for so many of his contemporaries. He can change endings all he wants, in the stories of his lives and those of others, through his songs, but it's the act of analyzing contemporary ills through bonafide folklore that emphasizes the absurdity of the here and now.
