hinahgift013 - Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music By Harry Smith

"Anamude, Matt Bauer, Dave DeCastro, Donna, Everything is Fine, Grumpy Bear, H-Burns, Half Asleep, Kenyon, Marc Manning, oRSo, Perio, Pollyanna, Charlie Parr, Sandusky, Shelley Short, The Tami Show"

In 1952, Harry Smith - an artist, a mad collector, and much more - compiled for Folkways Records 84 songs recorded between 1927 and 1932. This three-volume anthology, genuine memory of the American popular music, influenced the folk songwriters of the '60s to a great extent, Bob Dylan leading the way, and it still haunts today's artists (Will Oldham, 16 Horsepower, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Kristin Hersh...). A fourth volume, containing 28 more songs recorded from 1928 to 1940, came out a few years ago on Revenant Records and brought the anthology back to the fore. As we are big fans of this collection, we've asked some of our favourite bands to pay a tribute to the anthology. The covers will be available on this page as we receive them!

- The latest covers -
Perio "The Coo Coo Bird"
Shelley Short "The Coo Coo Bird"
Donna "Le Vieux Soulard et Sa Femme"

Matt Bauer "Willie Moore"
Willie Moore when he was the age of twenty-one
He courted a girl so fair;
Her eyes were bright like two diamonds in the night
And long was her raven black hair

He courted her both night and day,
To marry they did agree,
But when they went to her parents for consent,
They said that it could never be,

She threw herself in willie moore’s arms
Like so many times before
But little did he think when they parted that night
Little annie he would see no more

That very same night sweet Annie disappeared,
They searched the country 'round
And there in a creek in the blue light of morning,
The body of sweet Annie was found'

She was lifted by her weeping friends
And broght to her parents house
Her mother stood leaning in the kitchen door
"sweet annie what you gone and done now?"

And who would know where annie lies now
With chickory flowers in bloom
And long since gone is her grave by the creek
Black clouds holding up the moon

hinah029 - Templo Diez "Crowheart"hinah029 - Templo Diez

"Crowheart"

We discovered Templo Diez thanks to an exchange of records with the French label Intercontinental Records, which had released the band's debut album "Hoboken". Three years later, while hinah was on a sabbatical year, Pascal Hallibert sent us the new cd of Templo Diez, "Winterset", on which we especially loved the beautiful song "Sal". We suggested we could put out an EP if they felt like going for more acoustic tracks and putting the voice of Gloribel Hernandez (who was also singing on "Sal") more upfront. And they agreed!

hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights "hinah session"hinahgift026 - Fulton Lights

"hinah session"

We discovered Andrew Goldman's music a few years ago, at the time of his folk, melodic project Maestro Echoplex. After playing for a while under the name John Guilt, Andrew started a new project named Fulton Lights, which has just released its second album "The Way We Ride" and its heavier and more distorted atmospheres and tempos. As Andrew was on solo tour in Europe, we invited him over for a session that was meant to be electric but ended up being acoustic after the amp of our friend Éric decided to break down at the last minute. So here is a chance to discover Fulton Lights in its most stripped-down version!

hinahgift025 - Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin "hinah session"hinahgift025 - Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin

"hinah session"

Those who visit our website regularly are bound to have come across the name "Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin" once in a while in the news section. Indeed, we have been following closely Morgan Caris’s project in the last five years and we would very much like to release something with his name on it... But Morgan is a perfectionist and this something is yet to come. Therefore a hinah session had clearly become necessary and the opportunity of an acoustic evening with Shelley Short and Brittain Ashford to inaugurate our Parisian hinah hq was just the perfect excuse!

"hinah session"

This is not the first treat we get from Matt Bauer: a few years ago, he had already contributed to our "Tribute To The Anthology Of American Folk Music by Harry Smith" with an edited cover of "Willie Moore". Shortly afterwards, he had sent us his big EP "Wasps And White Roses", a beautiful folk piece on which the banjo blends with Matt's suave voice. In addition, Matt was surrounded with nice people, as Jolie Holland and Mariee Sioux joined him for this EP! So as Matt was touring Europe as part of Alela Diane's backing band in the spring, we invited him to make a detour via Frankfurt for a live hinah session.
