Song Review: Hawktail with Darol Anger - “Unless” (Live)

Hawktail and Darol Anger gave Grey Fox attendees the feeling of floating on water with “Unless.”

Captured on professional video at the 2024 bluegrass shindig, it’s a staggering display of virtuosic improvisation within instrumental composition and one of those special moments that tends to happen only in a festival setting.

The track finds the expanded band setting off lazily down a slow-rolling river as Anger and fellow fiddler Brittany Haas saw in harmony.

They soon transfer oars to guitarist Jordan Tice, who engages with Paul Kowert’s bowed bass before Anger, then Haas, join in to propel the music toward the rapids that take “Unless” back to dry dock.

Among the Meghan-hating media fraternity, Jeremy Clarkson isn’t even king

Catherine Bennett

The invective of the former Top Gear presenter barely rose above the standard of an average incel

Commiserations to Jeremy Clarkson: now his Sun column has been taken down, the celebrity must forfeit his chance to win the UK media’s most demented attack on Meghan award, 2022.

Fairness requires his article to be available for comparison with work from names including, in no particular order, Dan Wootton, Piers Morgan, Nigel Farage, Tom Bower, Brendan O’Neill of spiked and the Spectator’s Freddy Gray, not forgetting Richard Tice, Toby Young and Rod Liddle. Energised, perhaps, by the abundant material issuing from Montecito, more and more commentators are realising that a media career really can be based on, or refreshed by, repeating that the Duchess of Sussex is any or all of a talentless (yet cunning) mansion-dwelling liar, narcissist, bully, gold-digger, hypocrite and republic facilitator who stole “our” prince (Morgan: “dragged him out of the country off to your California mansion to fleece your royal titles”) whom she will dump – thanks to the demagogue-psychic Farage for this insight – when the time is right. To which the popular psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson tweeted: “This seems highly probable to me.”

Having said that, the trade is harder than it might look; the successful Markle-detractor must not only sustain Morgan-rivalling levels of abuse but produce some signature excuse for his feelings. An honourable mention, then, to Peterson who, new to the specialism, brought a scholarly perspective to bear on a Markle “archetype” podcast in which he’d been quoted (saying “I don’t think that men can control crazy women”). While compliant with Goldwater constraints on psychological speculation, Peterson added to his academic defence of “crazy women” the objection that Markle’s voice “just grates on me”. Elsewhere, the recently arrested career misogynist Andrew Tate seems to be the first of this men’s group to call her a bitch and worse. Why the anger? Unclear, but, invited on Morgan’s show, Tate recently regretted that “a lot of age-old traditions are being destroyed in real time”.

The above list should not, incidentally, be interpreted as some innate female inferiority in reviling Meghan. Credit is due, in fact, to the Daily Telegraph’s female team. The judges of this award are not, however, so “woke” as to favour less obsessive and comparatively pallid contributions to Meghan-hating by women, simply for the sake of diversity.

One challenge for specialist Markle-baiters is to balance, as Clarkson did not, the disturbed with the publishable

If it is any consolation to Clarkson, last year’s anti-Meghan content included work so outstandingly malignant that even after his article provoked international condemnation and record-breaking complaints, he may not have triumphed. True, the description of Meghan as worse than the serial killer Rose West is memorable, likewise his dream of the day that Meghan – since the writer hates her “on a cellular level” – “is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her”. But original? Our judges noted that this sort of sexualised, unashamedly pathological fantasy about a determined and attractive woman would probably be considered fairly basic in online groups favoured by resentful incels.

Moreover, one of the challenges for specialist Markle-baiters is to balance, as Clarkson did not, the disturbed with the publishable. As familiar as it is for some men to be triggered by female success into the sort of behaviours academics have summarised as “masculine over-compensation”, the Meghan-averse, like Greta Thunberg’s haters (as Clarkson shows, there is significant overlap), must keep in mind the need not to come across as worryingly invested or, to borrow Peterson’s jargon, crazy.

Tom Bower, a strong contender for this year’s award, could probably have pulled off his Nazi analogy, “Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propagandist, would look with real awe at what the Sussexes and Netflix have achieved”, and even his conspiratorial “Doria plays a really sinister role in this whole story”. It helped that he was speaking on a channel where Meghan hysteria is pretty much normalised. But people noticed when he told viewers of Good Morning Britain: “It’s Meghan I’m after.”

That the would-be shit-pelter Clarkson is to keep his TV shows and newspaper columns should not, as much as it has thrilled his fans, be taken to mean less eminent contributors would survive. Careful misogynists might be better advised to study the way his rivals will, for instance, elevate otherwise standard exercises in vituperation with a dash of compassion, a mention of the cost of living crisis, learned regret for Meghan’s limitations. “In a strangely lobotomised way,” Gray says of his muse, “Meghan seems to have been influenced by the theories of Carl Jung.”

Alternatively, notice how seasoned Meghan antagonists offer deep constitutional feeling as a justification for their insults and disgusted faces: “Princess Pinocchio”, “your narcissistic delusionist (sic) wife”, “the ginge”, “poisonous rats”. The guild’s settled understanding, after the Netflix series, that the Sussexes represent, in Morgan’s words, “an existential threat to the British monarchy”, allowed for some peerless abuse from lead members of the fraternity, notably in the popular Meghan-hating double acts. The aim of this collaborative format being for participants to goad one another into ever more extravagant denunciations of the Sussexes. In particular the Wootton-Bower combo reliably appals, the host nodding while the writer insists, for example (confident that Wootton won’t mention Andrew Morton), that Diana was never, like her son, “duplicitous”. Wootton (confident that Bower won’t mention Panorama), agrees that Diana never did anything so vile as criticise the institution.

To pick a winner from this wealth of invective has occasionally felt like an impossible task. But the most precious is, surely, a piece by the distinguished Marxist turned Markleist, Brendan O’Neill. Not for pyrotechnics but for so brilliantly encapsulating Meghan’s often fascinating effect on the male mind. “Go away,” he begs the belle dame of Montecito, “Leave me alone.” He made the same request in 2020.

The Best of AMERICANAFEST 2024

AMERICANAFEST is an assault on the senses. With hundreds of parties, official and unofficial, going on in dozens of venues throughout Nashville, there's so much choice you risk being paralyzed with indecision. For our part, we caught 45 shows across a eight venues and, while we saw a few bands we probably wouldn't buy an album from (remember, friends, buy your music), we didn't catch anything that wasn't good. That said, only a few can be the best. Here are the best things we saw at AMERICANAFEST 2024.

Best of the Fest- Amythyst Kiah and Danielle Nicole At this point, I should probably disqualify Amythyst Kiah from getting “Best of the Fest” and give some other people a chance. She has, I think, won it every time she has played the festival and I have seen her. And she just keeps getting better. Pulling heavily from her forthcoming album Still + Bright, Kiah blended her standard blues and Americana with elements of symphonic metal and classic rock for a sound that is like no other.

This year, Kiah has to share her award with Danielle Nicole. Of the three bands I saw Wednesday night at Exit/In, she was the one I knew nothing about. Boy, had I been missing out. Sounding like what would happen if Janis Joplin fronted The Jimi Hendrix Experience, her power trio blasted through 45 minutes of pure blues-rock fury and I was there for it. For intensity, this was by far the set of the weekend.

Best Work Ethic- Secret Emchy Society and Amelia White The old saying is “work smarter, not harder.” But there's something to be said for working harder and nobody at AMERICANAFEST 2024 worked harder than these two. Cindy Emch of Secret Emchy Society made the trip from California and made the most out of racking up all those airline miles. Over the court of AMERICANAFEST's six days, Emch curated three events (including a 9 hour-long house show) and performed at five. All of these performances helped promote either her fellow Bay Area roots musicians or the Queer Country community. I was able to catch her at her official Showcase on Saturday night at The 5 Spot, my first time seeing her with her full band, and her brand of hard-living, hard-drinking, hard-rocking country music kept the packed audience entertained, even with her playing the dreaded 11 pm final slot of the festival, when many fest goers are either headed home or too tired to rock.

While Amelia White might not have had as far to travel as Emch, living in East Nashville, but that didn't stop her from putting the work in during AMERICANAFEST week. Over the course of the festival, White performed at seven official and non-official events. I was able to catch her at two of these; the official East Coast Social Club showcase at The Bowery Vault and the unofficial Americanamitzvah event at the Love and Exile Bar. In both cases, White showed why she's been dubbed “The Queen of the East Nashville Underground.”

Best Import- Tami Neilson A New Zealander by way of Canada, Tami Neilson is no stranger to Nashville. In addition to having played a number of shows at AMERICANAFEST in the past, Neilson was also, as a child, a member of The Neilsons, a family band that used to be regular performers at Opryland, a, sadly, now defunct Nashville amusement park that Neilson referenced from the stage when I saw her at the Lightnin' Management Medicine Show at 3rd and Lindsley on Thursday, noting that the city had literally paved over Opryland to put up a parking lot (attached to a tacky shopping mall). Neilson's blend of classic country and rockabilly is a crowd pleaser whenever she plays AMERICANAFEST and her booming voice almost needs no amplification to be heard.

Best Genre Blender- Hawktail A supergroup made up of crack musicians Jordan Tice, Brittany Haas, and Paul Kowert, Hawktail defies any type of genrefication you might want to put on them. With a bluegrass core, the trio mixes elements of jazz, Americana, rock, and chamber music into a sound that is like no other. I got to seem them open AMERICANAFEST on Tuesday night, first with a solo set and then backing up Aoife O'Donovan. In both sets, jaws dropped as the band displayed an instrumental virtuosity that refused to acknowledge genres exist.

Best Find- The Kentucky Gentlemen This is normally where Danielle Nicole would go if she hadn't been so good as to take my “best of” slot. But that's ok because I had another AMERICANAFEST discovery that nearly rivaled them; The Kentucky Gentlemen. Mixing classic country riffs with Bobby Brown-esque r&b vocals and moves, The Kentucky Gentlemen dazzled The 5 Spot on Saturday night with a set high on kinetic energy and infectious hooks.

Best Party Atmosphere- Paisley Fields As one of the current standard-bearers for Queer Country, Paisley Fields has a lot of baggage to carry around in one 45 minute set. But you wouldn't know it from his show, which is a fun, often raunchy, and always musically on-point party. Whether he's unleashing the least subtle Queer Country song in history (“Ride Me Cowboy”) or his protest song (“Tear This Statehouse Down”), he never loses sight of the fact that music gets its message across best when its audience is having fun.

Best New Venue- Cannery Hall Damn, is it nice to have The Cannery back. After a couple of years of dormancy, a victim of Nashville's skyrocketing rents, a new ownership group turned the former Cannery Ballroom/Mercy Lounge/Hi-Watt into a new event space that introduces the best technological improvements to a storied Nashville venue. Just being inside the walls of the place where so many of Nashville's favorites got their start was a nice return to glory. While I only got to see the Cannery Mainstage (for McCrary Sisters, Jon Muq, and Amythyst Kiah), I came away impressed enough to start looking for shows at the venue's two other stages to attend, just to soak in the history.

There it is. The favorite things we saw at AMERICANAFEST 2024. If you attended, leave us your favorites in the comments!

Song Review: Aoife O’Donovan & Hawktail - “Reason to Believe” (Live, March 26, 2023)

Swapping out Bruce Springsteen’s grizzled vocals for the soothing sweetness of Aoife O’Donovan’s voice and outfitting the song with bluegrass instrumentation, O’Donovan and Hawktail transformed “Reason to Believe” without erasing the Boss man’s fingerprints.

Recorded live in New York March 16, 2023, and just released, the track is expertly mixed allowing two acoustic guitars, Dominick Leslie’s mandolin, Paul Kowert’s double bass and Brittany Haas’ fiddle to intertwine with gorgeous singing from O’Donovan and fellow guitarist Jordan Tice on harmonies. Add in just enough crowd reaction to reinforce how special this performance was and remains and this exquisite version of “Reason to Believe” is almost unbelievable.

And Nashville neighbor Elise Leavy is opening the show. Should be a sweet autumnal evening...and it’s the unofficial 10th anniversary of the first House of Love show in 2012! We’re planning some additional fanfare around that fact in the nearish future, but for now, come raise a glass and celebrate with Jordan and Elise.

What is Newgrass? A Primer on the Popular, Modern Wave of Bluegrass

Bluegrass has come a far way from it’s roots. It’s joined forces with rock, jazz, and world music – and created a new generation of amazing musicians playing this exciting new mashup: Newgrass.

AKA “New Acoustic”, or “Modern bluegrass”.

Odds are you’ve heard it and loved it, even if you didn’t know what it was called ; )

What is Newgrass?

Traditional bluegrass music sticks close to traditions. Instrumentation, song selection, playing styles – they’re all based in a long and storied bluegrass tradition. Specifically, in the playing and person of Bill Monroe.

In the 1970s, though, several new bands began pointing the way to a more liberal interpretation of bluegrass. One of those bands was “New Grass Revival”, including members  Sam Bush, Courtney Johnson, Ebo Walker, Curtis Burch, Butch Robins, John Cowan, Béla Fleck and Pat Flynn.

New Grass Revival took bluegrass to a new level in a number of ways.  First of all, they looked different. Instead of a traditional approach, they looked more like a crossover from the hippie movement.

More importantly, this new interpretation of bluegrass incorporated new sounds and new instruments in four key ways:

Songs might be pulled from other genres like rock or pop.

Arrangements included jazzier progressions and chord voicings.

New instruments were incorporated, like drums, dobro, and electric guitar.

Performances were more akin to jam-band style performances than the neat’n’tidy bluegrass formulas of the past.

A Brief History of Newgrass

By the late 80’s and early 90’s, Newgrass music was going mainstream. In 1991, Alison Krauss won best Bluegrass Album Grammy for “I’ve Got That Old Feeling”.

In 1988, Béla Fleck earned a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Recording (Vocal or Instrumental) for his album “Drive”. And in 1990, Béla Fleck earned another Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for his song, “The Sinister Minister”, which has gone on to be a staple of Fleck’s performance for almost 3 decades. And, of course, many other Newgrass musicians were gaining notoriety along the way, as well.

A cultural turning point was, perhaps, reached with the popularity of the soundtrack to “O Brother Where Art Thou” in 2000. For many people that had never been exposed to bluegrass before, the Soggy Bottom Boys handling of songs like “Man of Constant Sorrow” and “Down to the River to Pray” instantly won them over. Of course, the Soggy Bottom Boys was a fictional band in the movie – but the film recordings were performed byf many of the great newgrass players like Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, and others.

Today, we see Newgrass artists commanding packed shows and busy touring schedules. People like: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Alison Krauss and Union Station, and The Infamous Stringdusters.

And the field keeps growing. New artists like: Chris Thile, Jordan Tice, and Trampled by Turtles are consistently breaking new ground.

For a quick way to listen to some of these artists, check out the last.fm station for Newgrass.

Before You Go:

This is the song that first personally captivated me with the potential of Newgrass. I can still remember that moment in the pro audio section of Sam Ash in Northridge.  Hearing this song being played to test a speaker system and thinking, “What? How is this even possible?”. I was floored.

It’s Newgrass through and through – a classical song, performed by an electric bluegrass band, in complete jamband style.
