Hello, fellow music maniacs! This week on the Listening Party, we stick to the folksy direction of our last episode as we listen to Side 2 of Stephanie Felice’s mixtape.

Although we tried to keep things from getting too folksy, we come dangerously close to holding hands around a fire and singing “Kumbaya” – a fate worse than death!

Anyway, come on in to the Sneaky Dragon Rumpus Room, find a comfy seat and have a listen with us as we hear:

* Dillard & Clark – “Polly” – Through the Morning, Through the Night, 1969* Jeffrey Frederick and the Clamtones feat. Jill Gross – “Singing to the Dentist” – Spiders in the Moonlight, 1977* Samantha Crain – “Kathleen” – Under Branch and Thorn and Tree, 2015* Caetano Veloso – “It’s a Long Way” – Transa, 1972* Blitzen Trapper – “Dragon’s Song” – Destroyer of the Void, 2010* Michael Hurley – “Automatic Slim and the Fat Boys” – Snockgrass, 1979* Joanna Newsom – “The Book of Right-On” – The Milk-Eyed Mender, 2004* Joy of Cooking – “The War You Left” – Closer to the Ground, 1971* Wilco – “Muzzle of Bees” – A Ghost Is Born, 2004

Thanks for listening.

Michael Hurley singing “Automatic Slim and the Fat Boys” from the original demos recorded in East Fairfield in the early 70s.

Here’s a fun bit of live Joanna Newsom really giving those finger muscles a workout.
