The Cuckoo - appalachian folk song
On this fourth day of July, here’s The Cuckoo from my kitchen. One of my all time favorite English turned Appalachian folk songs. In my ears & heart, this is a freedom song through & through. 🔔
This arrangement is inspired by Rising Appalachia’s version, I especially love the fiddle part, so here’s me attempting to mouth-music it :) & i added my own last verse because i felt like there was a little more to say if ya know what i mean.
I’d love to sing music like this in a band one day, with fiddles and banjos and upright bass and stuff… one day !! In the meantime, let me know your favorite appalachian folk songs, i wanna learn them.
In the spirit of true liberation, let the dove fly.

My take on this books song using a boss 505 looper :) Discovered shining hours the other day while listening through the books album Lost and Safe (which oh my stars is awesome) and I haven't stopped singing it since. following the line of the tide reclining living on the fat of the sweet sun shining drawing on the times aligning walking on the long horizon there's a little black spot in the sk...

Any Gaelic speakers out there wanna help me with my pronunciation? :) One of the most beautiful songs I know. During British colonial occupation of Ireland, when speaking Gaelic was against the law, this love song served as a symbol of resistance and resilience. The "fair haired boy" described and longed for in the song is code for the land of Ireland herself. It's a love song to the spirit of ...

One of my favorite tunes, thank you Lankum. It comes knocking and stays with me every few months or so. I found myself singing it on my walk home today, and when it wouldn't leave, I decided to film myself jamming with it on the looper. So here tis. It's March, spring is coming, keep the faith. Love.
