Folks have been asking me for sort of an introduction playlist to filk music for a little while now, and while I don’t think I’d ever be able to make a perfect primer to introduce people to all the genre has to offer, I figured it was far more doable to make one with a fair amount of variety of my favorites (at least, of the ones I actually have access to recordings of) – with a mix of old classics, new stuff, and some newer covers of songs that have been around for a while – and hope it would stand for itself. Enjoy!
Tracklist:
Dawson’s Christian – Vixy & Tony // Come All You Knights – Technical Difficulties // Never Set The Cat On Fire – Frank Hayes // The Traveller – Julia Ecklar // Few Days – Leslie Fish & The Dehorn Crew // Banshee – Cheshire Moon // Fire in the Sky – Kristoph Klover // Everybody Hates Elves – Kari Maaren // Cheshire Kitten (We’re All Mad Here) – S. J. Tucker // Neil Armstrong – Cat Faber // Ship of Stone – Leslie Fish // The World They Call Terra – Juliana McCorison // Everyman – Julia Ecklar // Witnesses’ Waltz – Arlin Robins, Catherine Cook, Gloria Oberste, Joey Shoji, and others // I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing?) – Heather Dale // We Are Who We Are – Vixy & Tony // Somebody Will – Sassafrass
As I said to Will the other night, we are kinda amazed to be on this list. Thank you for all the support, you have done so much for us.
