Mountain Man: NPR Music Field Recordings

Музыка

As a gaggle of videographers, musicians, industry types and hangers-on stepped gingerly through tall brush to enter a dilapidated section of Fort Adams in Newport, R.I., you couldn't blame us for feeling like unwitting participants in a horror movie. Standing amid hundred-year-old rubble as the 2011 Newport Folk Festival clattered merrily in the distance, we were either going to capture two breathtaking minutes of music or get eviscerated by maniacs as part of The Newport Witch Project. Thankfully, we made it out with the footage you see above.
Like a ray gun that shoots weaponized gorgeousness, the Vermont trio Mountain Man fit an awful lot of moony harmonies into this all-too-brief performance of "Sewee Sewee." As a self-explanatorily named group called The Seeger Clogging Allstars clomped away behind them, Mountain Man's three members - Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Randall Meath - sang and stared sweetly into each other's faces. If the scene above once seemed destined to devolve into a grisly horror movie, at least we had a choir of angels on hand to escort us into the afterlife.

    Great song! Something to think about though...old folk mountain music was truly unique. These people had not heard music from the radio nor were they taught music in school as they did not attend. These mountain people in the Appalachia literally created music from never hearing it, and passed it on from generation to generation. Hence the total originality of it. Since 1920 it has been spreading, and it is magnificent. Keep on spreading.

    Not true. Appalachia music is descended from the music of the British isles,, northern Europe and Ireland. No culture grows up wholly musically and culturally isolated

    I think because she's the lead for this song and also because the subtleties in her voice are fucking incredible. Pay close attention at the end when she let's her vocals carry on in the last note and then Amelia's face is like her heart is breaking. I agree the she is magnetism personified too.
