Quick Q and A with Conor Ryan Hennessy
Quick Q and A with Conor Ryan Hennessy Imagine my surprise when I got notice of this year’s New Folk at the Kerrville Folk Festival (a legendary fest that has a distinct position among all festivals in that it’s an 18-day event and many folks stay for the duration.  A lot of stellar songwriters set up camp on the festival site and collaborate with others throughout the fest. This year one of the…

Brigid Mae Power — Dream from the Deep Well (Fire)

Dream from the Deep Well by Brigid Mae Power
Brigid Mae Power sings like a phosphorescent flame, her tones flickering, swelling and subsiding, slipping effortlessly over shifting notes and stretching single syllables over fluttering melodic phrases. Her voice, pure and high with a lemon-y sharp tang, is a mesmerizing thing, all on its own, and more than a conduit for the traditional and original songs she delivers here.
Consider, for instance, her opening salvo, a ghostly tracery of the Clancy Brothers’ classic, “I Know Who Is Sick.” But while the Irish traditionalists take this melody at a skiffle-y trot, Power elongates it and elaborates on its slippery curves, seeking out the hurt and uncertainty in every syllable. Her interstitial “ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah” crooning could hardly be different from the original’s trad Irish “touralourah,” substituting water pure melancholy for giddy cliché.
Another cover makes more sense on the surface, since Tim Buckley, like Power, takes the tune as a suggestion rather than an order, embellishing folk styles with jazzy slides and bent notes. But even so, Mae’s take on “I Must Have Been Blind” is a revelation, her voice as transparent as glass but full of freedom, as it crests a pensive arrangement of piano and cello.
The originals are good, too, especially pellucid “Counting Down,” which rattles and rambles in loose country folk style, drums pounding, piano chiming and that extraordinary voice narrating ordinary events—taking her son to swimming lessons, coming home, playing music. “The Waterford Song” tilts its jangling guitar sideways with eerie trills of organ, and again, Power’s unearthly voice keening and swelling. The song is about Power’s ancestral connections to Ireland, and it blends the real and the spiritual in a mist-shrouded mystery.
Power ends her album with another song linked to her homeland, the rebel ballad “Down by the Glenside” written during the uprising and studded with archaic language. The cut has an archival quality—and how could it not—with the sound fading in and out like a cracked 78 and Power singing simply, sadly and with a pronounced Irish lilt. Yet even here, she sounds freer and more self-determined than the material itself. Her voice wanders delicately where it will, putting the spirit in an old song so that it flutters to life.

still comparing and contrasting dixon's dick & tim in my head wrt to civilian social groups (tim being further isolated away from girls as he gets together with steph and only allowed male friends vs dick's civilian cast of peers being more female oriented and he doesn't really get male non-superhero friends) and i do think there is something interesting wrt the perceived male social dynamics by a male writer of a teenage boy socially being surrounded by a group of friends vs a young adult male who's social life is more dictated in regards to the women around him
