Lost Music Saloon: August 22: 5-7 p.m.: Women Take the Stage

For the past few weeks here in the Saloon I’ve been sharing some songs in certain categories that are sometimes thought to be atypical of alt-country or Americana, but that actually fit that genre very comfortably. A couple of weeks ago I took a look at “speaking songs” – – talking blues; country-rap; cowboy poetry, and other music that used spoken words (or nearly spoken words) as all or part of the song. Last week it was “ebony twang” or “Afro-Americana” – – black artists who fit underneath the alt-country/Americana musical umbrella. Today I’ll concentrate on some of the female artists who fit those styles, because that music is often thought of as being overwhelmingly male-dominated. By sheer numbers that may be true, but focusing on quality reveals that women artists are fully capable of standing toe-to-toe with the men. I’ll be casting a wide net, both timewise and stylistically, in order to try to capture as many styles as I reasonably can in two short hours. Listen in, and enjoy!
