The Vermont indie-folkster Anais Mitchell’s own songs echo archaic British folk lyrics, and she’s spearheaded the rediscovery of the English folksinger Nic Jones.
Last Summer, I saw New Yorker Jefferson Hamer playing along anonymously in a traditional session in an Edinburgh bar.
Like Dylan and Paul Simon in the ‘60s, the dutiful duo sought the sources of the old songs, and now they illuminate the granite vaults and cracked stained glass of seven of our most sacred secular standards with New World brightness, making them shine anew.
