(That is, if by warmth you mean bleak heartbreak, dark realizations and uncomfortable vulnerability.) Iron and Wine continues to wring inventive sounds and compelling emotions out of the American folk-music form, as it demonstrated at Folk Festival 50 on Saturday. Iron and Wine's latest collection, Around the Well, compiles two discs' worth of B-sides, soundtrack and compilation tracks and previously unreleased goodies. Even though Beam's debut album, The Creek Drank the Cradle, was released only seven years ago, the new album is a reminder of just how far Iron and Wine has come. It's easy to hear the progression from self-recorded four-track folk to full-blown rock, especially in the unexpected likes of the Middle Eastern-inspired "Arms of a Thief."

Her plane was five hours late, and she hit a traffic jam coming into Newport. Enter a police escort that found her car and escorted her all the way backstage, with roughly 30 seconds to spare. That wasn't long enough for Welch to put in her contact lenses, so she went without. She faced the blurry, 9,000-plus crowd — and the boats anchored in the distance — with her longtime performing partner David Rawlings beside her. It's been years since Welch has put out a new album or performed frequently, but she's a fixture at the Newport Folk Festival no matter what. With Rawlings at her side Saturday, Welch treated fans to many of her classics — each drenched in the pair's trademark close harmonies — and threw in a reverb-drenched cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" for good measure. Welch first surfaced on the pop-cultural radar with her 1996 debut, Revival, which transported fans back to the 1920s while maintaining a foot in the present. Producer T-Bone Burnett kept the album's focus on Welch and Rawlings. She followed that album with more full-length releases, as well as appearances on several soundtracks, such as Songcatcher and the chart-topping O, Brother, Where Art Thou? Both albums placed Welch and Rawlings squarely in the middle of the traditional American folk revival. Set List "Want to Hear That Rock 'n' Roll" "Elvis Presley Blues" "My First Lover" "No One Knows My Name" "It's Too Easy" "Miss Ohio" "The Way It Will Be" "Red Clay Halo" "Dear Someone" "White Rabbit" "Orphan Girl" "Revelator" "I'll Fly Away"DJ FundiFolk2009-08-08T09:56:52-07:00www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/0054e6f24fc97fa0aae29cdaa71b626e-27.html#unique-entry-id-27www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/0054e6f24fc97fa0aae29cdaa71b626e-27.html#unique-entry-id-27DJ Fundi @ www.PodcastCafe.org/LiveArchivefleetfoxes newportfolkfestivalThe Fleet Foxes' self-titled debut was one of 2008's most critically adored records. The Seattle band pairs layers of harmonized vocals — the sort of sound that could have emerged from the 1920s or the 1970s — with shuffling drums and finger-picked guitars. In keeping with the band's name, the record's song titles ("Meadowlarks," "Blue Ridge Mountains," "Ragged Wood") suggest a bucolic vision of nature, though lead singer Robin Pecknold's lyrics occasionally hint at violence ("And Michael you would fall / and turn the white snow red / as strawberries in summertime," from "White Winter Hymnal"). Fleet Foxes' members spent the majority of 2008 on the road before taking a break to work on a follow-up to their debut. The band's performances in 2009 have been fewer but higher in profile: It played Saturday Night Live in January and Coachella in April. Currently on tour, Fleet Foxes played the All Points West festival at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J., the day before taking the stage at Newport.

The concert shoots the intensity up several notches with Parliament-Funkadelic alumni Dennis Chambers (drums) and Rodney "Skeet" Curtis (bass) driving the energy to uncommonly soulful and sweaty peaks. The concept of playing hard funk with a brassy big band in tow is somewhat unusual, but the results smash all preconceptions. Parker’s dueling alto battle with Karolina Strassmayer on "To Be or Not to Be" and a rousing 17-minute version of the J.B.’s classic "Pass the Peas" are just a few highlights of this rollicking, electrifying set." www.PodcastCafe.org/LiveArchive djfundi@podcastcafe.orgDJ FundiJazz2009-02-20T17:58:58-08:00www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/f2fca6dd8f9800b1ad92270fd3fd166f-18.html#unique-entry-id-18www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/f2fca6dd8f9800b1ad92270fd3fd166f-18.html#unique-entry-id-18Charlie Hunter @ www.podcastcafe.org/livearchivecharlie hunter, jazz, podcast, jazz podcast, podcast cafe, DJ FundiRockin' the 7-string guitar, solo-style, in Seattle's KPLU studio"Guitarist Charlie Hunter appeals to a lot of music fans on a lot of different levels. His amazing technique and improvisational skills have earned praise from straight-ahead jazz critics and fans. His willingness to experiment musically is looked upon with great favor by devotees of the avant-garde. And his ability to dig into a big, nasty groove and then run away with it has made him a favorite with jam-band audiences. No matter what sort of music he plays, his amazing technique has been Hunter's calling card since he started recording in the mid-1990s. Armed with a seven-string guitar, he possesses the unique ability to sound like at least two guitarists at once, as he seems to play bass lines, melody lines, chords and improvisational passages at the same time. However, as he tells KPLU's Nick Francis in this session, he feels that he's taken technique as far as he can. Hunter jokes that, at a certain point in the recent past, he felt that the only thing he could do to outdo himself on stage would be to set himself on fire. Since he was understandably hesitant to take such a drastic step, he began to re-think the music he was playing and the reasons he wanted to play music in the first place. His conclusion, as you'll hear, was that he'd spent enough of his career in the service of technique — and that it was now time to serve the music. The solo guitar pieces he plays in this interview clearly demonstrate the fruits of Hunter's new path." --88.5 KPLU FM www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive djfundi@podcastcafe.orgDJ FundiFolk2009-02-15T17:58:36-08:00www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/001d003172db4ff14060a65e0857ee2a-17.html#unique-entry-id-17www.podcastcafe.org/livearchive/files/001d003172db4ff14060a65e0857ee2a-17.html#unique-entry-id-17Bon Iver @ www.PodcastCafe.org/livearchivebon iver, podcast cafe, live musicLoving all-things-Bon-Iver these days, and his debut album For Emma, Long Ago, is just too short! It is a perfect and complete recording that satisfies me in so many ways, but at less than 40 minutes, I am always left wanting more when the last track fades. So, in my search around the internets for more Bon Iver music, I came across this excellent 4-song live set that MySpace was giving away for free. I downloaded it, mixed it in to one track, added chapters and artwork -- voila! We here at the Podcast Cafe's Live Archive hope you enjoy it. Feedback: djfundi@podcastcafe.org ps.

Lead singer Robin Pecknold made several references to the size of the crowd, telling the sold-out audience he'd never seen so many people packed together. This brought a loud cheer from the roomful of fans who otherwise spent most of the night standing in slack-jawed awe over the band's breathtaking harmonies... Fleet Foxes' sound can be traced directly to the music the band members' parents played: The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel, The Zombies, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills and Nash. "We grew up listening to the music of our parents," says Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold. "Every perennial '60s band you'd expect to find in the record collections of baby boomers." It's easy to hear these influences in Fleet Foxes' earthy tones, jangling, acoustic guitars and pastoral imagery. The band has described it as "baroque harmonic pop."" -- from NPR's "All Songs Considered."
