Song Review: Aoife O’Donovan - “All My Friends” (Live, 2023)

First, there’s the unaccompanied purity of Aoife O’Donovan’s voice.

Then come the Westerlies’ muted horns, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus’ vocals, a chamber orchestra and a rock ‘n’ roll rhythm section as “All My Friends” takes flight over FreshGrass 2023.

Professionally recorded and just released, the performance video is staggering in its aural beauty and concise telling of the struggle to move Tennessee to make the 19th Amendment the law of the land.

As the opening notes suggest, O’Donovan could sing “All My Friends” a cappella and leave listeners slackjawed. That she was able to add so much without leaving the song overly busy, makes this performance all the more beguiling.

Grade card: Aoife O’Donovan - “All My Friends” (Live, 2023) - A+

When fresh grass is laid down in a park 😍 

[deliciousmusiczombie]

We get asked a lot where No Depression is based, and the answer in this age of remote work is, well, we’re all over. So it’s really special for us to get to gather as a staff, including our compatriots at Folk Alleyand the FreshGrass Foundation, at the FreshGrass Festivalin North Adams, Massachusetts (and now in spring in Bentonville, Arkansas, too) for good hangs, great music, and lots of chats about how to bring the sounds and stories of roots music to even more eyes and ears.

Our first bunny tractor has been built. This one can hold 13 of our baby bunnies and has both a fully enclosed portion and a section that is open to the lawn so the bunnies can nibble on fresh grass. (at The First Best Thing Farms)

Song Review: Sam Grisman Project - “Rubin and Cherise” (Live)

The Sam Grisman Project nailed the Jerry Garcia Band’s “Rubin and Cherise” at FreshGrass 2023.

It’s out on pro-shot video and finds the SGP seamlessly transitioning the JGB number to an acoustic environment of mandolin, guitar, bass and percussion played through mics rather than amps.

Whether through groupthink or shared buzzes - or both - the four musicians are totally in synch even as each seems to be doing his own thing. It’s as enjoyable visually as aurally as the players get lost in the music, then come together, locked in tight, for a reworked arrangement of the original’s keyboard-centric coda.

From folk music to alt-country to Americana to blues and soul, the throughline between all varieties of roots music is the history at the heart of each group and each performance, a history that should be considered by each person in the audience.
