Free Music Notes for Death Songs for the Living

Free Music Review: Farrar dips back a little
Hit: 5 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed Death Songs for the Living. Jay has done it again. This is a great album to just sit and listen to. Truely entertaining and meaningful. I've read on here that some one thought the lyrics were immature. All but one song are reworked traditional folk songs. You have to look at everything in context. The simplicity is the point. This album represents what Americana is all about and that there is still hope for the genre.

Death Songs for the Living Poster

Gob Iron is the pairing of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt founder Jay Farrar with Anders Parker of Varnaline. They have updated a range of American folk songs, adapting lyrics, slowing tempos, combining parts of two different numbers, and in general fully celebrating one of the defining characteristics of folk music: that it is kept alive in the guise of whoever is its current vessel, reflecting their character as well as those of their predecessors. A number of tracks on Death Songs for the Living illustrate this concept of "the folk process." "Silicosis Blues" combines the titular lyric with the melody from another song, "Paul and Silas in Jail." Elsewhere, there are numbers by the Reverend J.M. Gates, Stephen Foster, and the Stanley Brothers. Nine brief instrumentals separate each of the ten songs, the final one a new Farrar original, "Buzz and Grind," which ups the wattage for their ride off into the sunset. --David Greenberger
