Q: We were watching the 1972 movie “Deliverance” the other night and had a question. Who was the young man who “played” the banjo in the “Dueling Banjos” music... Music ReviewKieran Kane: Somewhere Beyond the Rosesby Steve Horowitz[21.Sep.09] :. Strange and compelling music that seems oddly familiar in its very weirdness, like a feeling you didn’t know you had for another person you'd never met before, or an appetite for an exotic cuisine one has never tasted.  Music Feature“Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs”: An Interview with Otis Taylorby Stephen Humphries[21.Jul.09] :. The critically acclaimed bluesman talks to PopMatters about his musical path, bringing the banjo back to its roots in black music, and his new album Pentatonic Wars and Love Songs that marks his return to the guitar. Capsule ReviewsSpring Creek: Way Up on a Mountainby Deanne Sole[25.Jun.09] :. Honest Downhome Folk  Film FeatureFull Circle: Béla Fleck, Paul Simon & America’s Return to the World Communityby Jeffrey Pinzino[20.Apr.09] :. Béla Fleck didn't ask to be the Avatar of the New American Culture (avatars never do). He happened to be in the right place at the right time with a banjo and a digital recorder.

Steve Martin, Sufjan Stevens, and Kermit the Frog all know it and you should, too: the banjo is hands-down the coolest instrument out there. Jayme Stone and Mansa Sissoko: Africa to Appalachiaby Deanne Sole[2.Oct.08] :. The kora, with its lacelike and intricate patterns of notes, is the more attention-catching instrument, and you could easily forget that this album is a partnership and start to think of it as a Mansa Sissoko project. |
