Singers and Mountains
Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Some songs about singing and other essential activities. We hear imaginative recordings by contemporary groups such as Tiger Saw, Great Lake Swimmers, and Wax & Wane, plus some ear-catching older recordings by Julie Driscoll, Karen Dalton, Bryan Maclean, and the late Scottish eccentric Ivor Cutler. Also featured are a few tracks from the new album by the New York-based band Mountains, which makes an unusual kind of chamber music with acoustic guitars, accordion, and computers.
