Remembering influential Brit folk guitarist Davy Graham on his birthday

Check out Davy performing "She Moved Through The Fair" along with a few gems that will be on Cherry Red's new 8 CD box.

Davy Graham – He Moved Through The Fair 

• 8 CDs housed in a beautiful clamshell box.

• Bringing together all his 1960s studio recordings plus demo and live recordings.

• With extensive sleeve note essay, original liner notes and a rare 2000 interview with Davy Graham.

The godfather of British acoustic guitar, Davy Graham (1940-2008) has had a tremendous influence on guitarists from Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Paul Simon to Jimmy Page, Graham Coxon and Bernard Butler. He studied music from India, the Middle East and North Africa to devise new tunings and ways of playing blues, jazz and English traditional music. One of his most enduring legacies is the DADGAD tuning. An absolutely original, creative musical giant, Davy thought about things in a different way and wasn't bound by any musical preconceptions.

This sumptuous 8CD set includes the seminal, and hugely influential, 1965 albums: ‘Folk, Blues & Beyond’ and ‘Folk Roots’, New Routes’, the latter recorded with Shirley Collins. Both albums served as important templates for Pentangle and Fairport Convention to develop English folk-rock.

The original version of ‘Anji’ from 1962 - Graham’s most well-known composition, recorded by Simon & Garfunkel, Bert Jansch and many others - appears alongside a stunning live performance. All in all, ‘He Moved Through The Fair’ (out November 29) provides a marvellous opportunity to focus attention on this remarkable musician. You can pre-order a copy directly from Cherry Red Records right here here. Check the tracklist below followed by a few clips.

Saturday Night Rockers w/ Nana McLean @ BSMT 254, Saturday

Toronto reggae great Nana McLean will be backed by Dub Chronicles at 254 Lansdowne on Saturday. DJ Earl Grey spins vinyl gems.

Here's the scoop...

Canadian Reggae Queen Nana McLean will be making a rare appearance as part of the Saturday Night Rockers party at BSMT 254 (254 Lansdowne) backed by The Dub Chronicles with DJ Earl Grey on the decks! Tickets are $22.63 advance and available via Eventbrite right here. 

NANA MCLEAN’s long, storied singing career began in St. Catherine, Jamaica and eventually brought her to Toronto where she continues to record and perform to this day. Her 1977 debut single ‘’Till I Kiss You” on the legendary STUDIO ONE record label is a banger that still crushes at dances to this day, as do many of her other cuts on essential record labels as Jammy’s and A&M, earning her the title ’The Queen of Reggae in Canada’.

Nana was also recently featured in the superb NFB 'Sounds and Pressure: Reggae in a Foreign Land' documentary series.

Co-Creator of the series, and founder of the Toronto-based SHELLA RECORDS, Mr. Chris Flanagan aka DJ EARL GREY is co-producing this show, will be selling exclusive vinyl from his label & will be your DJ for the evening. 

Says DJ Earl Grey: "Over the weekend I had the pleasure of witnessing some studio magic with Nana McLean and Local Dish  in The Dub Shed working on some new lathe cut 45s for the Saturday night Rockers show at BSMT 254 (Check it out right here). Though Nana is now a friend,  it's a surreal experience to see such a legend at work in the studio. One of these tracks – which echoes Half Moon productions like Joe Higgs "Creation" – will be available for sale oat the show along with other Local Dish and Shella productions. Be there early and see our Queen of Reggae in combination with The Dub Chronicles for a Studio One showcase!!"

It should also be mentioned that backing up Nana will be Toronto’s own ‘brothers in dub’ - THE DUB CHRONICLES, who have just released their 4th fantastic full-length album, THE ARCHIVES which is now available on all streaming platforms. It's an 11-track instrumental gem that explores the depths of dub music. The opening set will feature choice cuts from that album with a couple guest vocal appearances.

And, of course, we mustn’t forget to mention our illustrious Master of Ceremonies … Toronto’s very own ‘Dub-Poet-At-Large’ … the Right Honourable MR. CLIFTON JOSEPH.

This will be a night to remember … and is truly not to be missed! Check out Nana's segment from the Sounds and Pressure documentary series along with a 2016 performance at the Opera House below.

Songs of Nick Drake 50th Anniversary Concert @ Hugh's Room, Nov 23 & 24

Luke Jackson and friends salute to Nick Drake at Hugh's Room on Saturday is sold out. Get tickets for Sunday's show below. 

Here's the scoop...

Hugh’s Room is delighted to announce the return of The Songs of Nick Drake on Saturday (November 23 with a second show added on Sunday November 24). This labour-of-love show is produced by UK-born Toronto musician and impresario Luke Jackson, who worked with Nick’s string arranger, the late great Robert Kirby, on his 2009 album And Then Some. Luke is one of a handful of people entrusted with Kirby’s original arrangements of Nick’s songs. Faithful renditions of those songs with strings form the bedrock of the concert, and creative arrangements of the rest of Nick’s canon make up the balance of the night.

 

The house band features drummer Cam Giroux (Weeping Tile, By Divine Right), bassist Jason Mercer (Ron Sexsmith, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Ani Difranco), and Toronto renaissance man Kurt Swinghammer on guitar.

 

The string quartet comprises Wendy Solomon on cello, Johann Lotter on viola, and Sahra Featherstone and Alex Cheung on violin.

 

Three featured performers are flying in to participate in the concert: Michelle Willis (David Crosby, Snarky Puppy), Kevin Kane (The Grapes of Wrath), and Suzie Ungerleider (formerly Oh Susanna), along with Toronto singer/songwriters Kathryn Rose, Conor Gains and Trish Robb. Flautist Andrea Kovats and Jackson himself round out the line-up.

 

This concert marks the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake’s death on November 25, 1974, and will be the first Songs of Nick Drake concert in five years. Although Saturday's show is sold out, there are a few tickets remaining for the Sunday show right here. The last concert was held at the original Hugh’s Room in November 2019 and was lovingly recorded and filmed for posterity. You can watch it following the preview clip for the 50th Anniversary Concert below.

Saint Etienne's The Night features 14 new tracks recorded in Saltaire and Hove between January and August 2024 with co-producer Augustin Bousfield, “The Night” saw Bob, Pete and Sarah together in the studio for the first time since 2019. 

Says Pete Wiggs: “It was great to all be in the same studio together again and we realised that it had been several years since we’d actually done that, sprawling out on the carpet, mugs of coffee in hand, sheets of lyrics and half ideas for titles lying around us.” 

Adds Bob Stanley, “I think The Night sounds really three-dimensional. A lot of that is down to Gus Bousfield who played the guitars and did a wonderful production job recording much of it in his studio, with so much light and space, has helped to shape it too. The three of us brought in our own songs, but lyrically we were all in tune with each other without having to swap notes first. We wanted "The Night" to be a calming album, warm and serene, but at the same time we wanted to create something gorgeous and dense.” 

Chimes in Sarah Cracknell, "“It was so good to be back in the studio together after recording the last album remotely. One of my favourite songs on the record is Preflyte, it made me cry when I sang it for the first time.” 

Margo Guryan's songcraft is the focus of new tribute album from Sub Pop

Better 4 years late than never, Sub Pop just released Like Someone I Know, a multi-artist reimagining of the late Margo Guryan's fab Take A Picture album.

Here's the scoop...

Most of our stories about cult musicians who make an album or two and then seem to vanish are framed by grief, despair, and frayed ambition. Not so with Margo Guryan, an ardent jazz anomaly who disdained pop music until hearing “God Only Knows” in 1966, opening a window onto the wonders that form could contain. 

Only two years later, she released her own set of little pop symphonies, Take a Picture, to great praise and expectation. But, having already divorced the hard-gigging valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer, she declined to tour or even talk about it all that much, content even if her reticence meant Take a Picture was soon consigned to discount racks and cutout bins. She wrote and recorded for years to come, even collaborating with Neil Diamond’s band, but mostly she seemed satisfied by her relatively private life. 

As befits music so stunning and subtle, Guryan, who died in 2021, has enjoyed several renaissances during the last six decades. And now, it’s happening again: Soon after her near-whispered and lovelorn hymn “Why Do I Cry” made her a TikTok star in 2021, the same year she passed, Numero Group launched a reissue campaign, resulting in the acclaimed 2024 set, Words and Music. And now, a dozen artists—none of whom were born when Take a Picture was made, most of whom weren’t even born for a crucial early reissue by Franklin Castle—have reinterpreted and reimagined that entire album (plus one bonus track) for Like Someone I Know: A Celebration of Margo Guryan. Empress Of, Margo Price, Clairo, June McDoom: They all affirm Guryan’s sharpness as a songwriter and the brilliance of an album that has far outstripped whatever promotional cycle Guryan rejected so long ago. 

Guryan was born to a sprawling family in Far Rockaway, when the place was still mostly framed by trees. While a composition student at Boston University, Guryan stumbled into a gig playing piano between Miles Davis Quintet sets, signed a songwriting deal with Atlantic Records, and botched a session with Nesuhi Ertegun. But she wasn’t looking to be a singing star. In 1959, she headed to the Lenox School of Jazz in the Berkshires to write for Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, earn the attention of instructor Max Roach, and find a longtime mentor and friend in Gunther Schuller. She became an accomplished lyricist, writing not only for Coleman and Nancy Harrow but also for Harry Belafonte and Gary MacFarland. 

But it was that subsequent encounter with the Beach Boys that opened the trap door for Guryan to Take a Picture and scores of other super songs, many of which appear on Words and Music. Take a Picture is a sophisticated survey of mid-20s romance and indecision, from the flirty romp of “Sunday Morning” and falling-for-you affirmation “Can You Tell” to the desperate helplessness of “What Can I Give You.” Her perpetually soft voice, audacious songcraft, and complete candor: Guryan, in 1968 and beyond, was making daring music, no matter how gently those sounds seemed to move. 

With a portion of proceeds being donated to providing and advocating for affordable reproductive health services, Like Someone I Know reinforces the strength of Guryan’s songs by allowing a dozen different artists to take them for trips of their own. The core always remains, unwavering. McDoom stretches static and harmony beneath “Thoughts,” as if they’re spinning on a dub plate beneath her arcing vocals. Rahill lets “Sun” unfurl over harmonium drone and entrancing percussive ticks, digging into Guryan’s interest in the surreal. Frankie Cosmos and Good Morning take a country shuffle through “Take a Picture,” entwined vocals falling over the rhythmic skips with perfect romantic relish. Over the last few decades, it has become increasingly clear just how good Guryan was, how sturdy her songs have been amid varying tides of taste. Like Someone I Know offers absolute validation, a testament to the enduring relevance and brilliance of Guryan's work.

Watch the animated video for Empress Of's version of the title track along with audio clips of TOPS doing "Sunday Morning" and Margo Price's version of "California Shake" after the tracklisting.
