It’s good to be back with our 8th annual Year’s Best Coverfolk collection. And here it is, at year’s end, the best still spinning on the tip of our tongues and ears. We are humbled, practically imposters, after being away from the music for so long, and only so recently returned, in laying claim to anyone’s top ten, or five, or one…except our own.įor although we were gone, the music still sustained us. It’s hubris, perhaps, that brings us here – and no small bit of sheer stubbornness, to keep us coming back, for the past month and a bit, since our long, long hiatus through the majority of 2019. The roots and branches of the music of the community, and the heart, in bloom, reborn. Such is our mandate, and our mission here: the comforting under the strange the song of our hearts revealed or transformed. And the knowing of it, when it is at its best, and our need is greatest, is sublime. In the peace of night, it sustains and soothes. In the heartbreak rages and the long walks, it serves us. In our time of need, there is solace, and a second chance built into our calendrical lives.Īnd in the long, quiet hours to and from the adrenalin crises of our lives, music is our guide. They say the turning of the year is symbolic, and to use it so: for reflection, a slate to be cleaned and set, restored, upon the walls of our living spaces.
